Q

the fetal hgb shifts the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, meaning…

A

increased 02 loading in the lungs/placenta, decreased unloading at the tissues. (remember left=love, right=release, so decreased unloading)

Q

what have fetal lamb studies shown

A

can remove all of the chemoreceptors and they will still breathe, but if you de-enervate the diaphragm, they will not breathe.

Q

why dont infants have lung collapse all of the time

A

because infants terminate the expiratory phase of breathing before reaching their true FRC which results in intrinsic PEEP and higher FRC

Q

how do infants respond to hypercarbia at birth

A

increasing ventilation, but the slope of the response curve is decreased.

34
Q

hypoxia ___ the neonate’s response to CO2

A

depresses

35
Q

response to hypoxia is biphasic meaning

A

initial hyperpnea followed by depression of resp in about 2 min

36
Q

what abolishes the initial hyperpneic response

A

hypothermia and low levels of anesthetic gases

37
Q

by __ weeks of age, hypoxia produces sustained hyperventailiton

A

3

38
Q

what is apnea of infancy defined as

A

resp pauses exceeding 20 sec or those accompanied by bradycardia or cyanosis

39
Q

type 1 muscle fibers in diaphragm are __ and make up ___ in infant and ___ in adult

A

fatigue resistant , 25%, 55%

40
Q

when the umbilical cord is cut, SVR is ___.

A

increased

41
Q

during onset of breathing, PVR is ___

A

decreased

42
Q

how many adults have a PFO

A

25-30%

43
Q

physiologic closure of shunts happens in

A

10-15 hours

44
Q

anatomic closure of shunts happens in

A

2-3 weeks

45
Q

what are the 3 shunts

A

foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus, and ductus venosus

46
Q

when shunts close, flow through FO and DA becomes __ to __

A

left to right

47
Q

in utero, PVR is ___ and SVR is ___

A

high, low

48
Q

born - PVR is ___ and SVR is ___

A

low, high

49
Q

PPHN is

A

persistant pulm htn of the newborn.

50
Q

PPHN is the persistence of ___ beyond the normal transition period in absence of ____

A

fetal shunting , structural heart defect.

51
Q

etiology of PPHN is

A

hypoxia and acidosis

52
Q

before anatomic closure of the fetal shunts, transient ____ to ____ shunting may occur in normal neonates during coughing bucking or straining during induction or emergence

A

right to left

53
Q

PPHN tx

A

adequate ventilation and oxygenation - hyperventilation (maintain alkalosis), pulmonary vasodilators (prostaglandin), minimal handling, avoidance of stress

54
Q

what is the function of the renal system in a fetus

A

passive production of urine which contributes to the formation of amniotic fluid.

55
Q

2 characteristics of the fetal kidney

A

low renal blood flow, low GFR

56
Q

the renal system in a neonate - systemic pressure is ___ and RVR is ___

A

low, high

57
Q

newborn renal - systemic pressure ___ and RVR ___

A

rises, falls

58
Q

by __ weeks all nephrons are developed

A

34

59
Q

why cant an infant concentrate urine?

A

immature neonatal tubules do not completely reabsorb NA under teh stimulus of aldosterone - so the neonate will continue to excrete NA even in the presence of a severe Na deficit. neonate is an “obligate sodium loser”

60

A

700-800

61

70%

63
Q

in the second week of life, what percentage of filtered NA can neonates conserve

84

64
Q

neonate urine na level

A

20-25 meq/L

65
Q

maintenance fluid for a baby should be

A

d5.2NS (need the glucose!)

66
Q

lowest acceptable hct

A

35% because of high o2 demand with limited ability to increase CO

67
Q

do not let hemoglobin fall below

A

10

68
Q

___ ml/kg blood volume in term baby

A

90

69

100

70
Q

A

increased

71
Q

two stages of heat loss in an infant

A

transfer of heat from body core to skin surface (internal temp gradient) and dissipation of heat from skin surface to the environment (external heat gradient)

72
Q

how do you prevent convection in a neonate

A

reduce air movement across body surface

73
Q

how do you prevent radiation in a neonate

A

warm operating room - radiant lamps

A

cover exposed body cavities, heat and humidify inspired gases

26-30

77
Q

brown fat comprises ___% of the neonates total body

A

2-6%

78
Q

non-shivering thermogenesis occurs with ___ stress and is mediated by the ___

A

cold, SNS

79
Q

heat produced during non-shivering thermogenesis is a product of

A

fatty acid metabolism

80
Q
