Peds congenital abnormalities again DAN MILLER STYLE!! Flashcards
Tracheoesophageal Fistula
S+S
Excessive oral secretions
regurg of first feeding
Resp distress after several feedings
inability to pass OGT
Delayed S+S
recurring pnemonia
inability to pass an OGT
Associated abnormalities of
Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Vertebral abnormalities
Anus (impertorate Anus)
Tracheo-
Esophageal Fistula
Radial aplasia
Renal abnormalities
OR VATER
Most common Tracheoesophageal Fistula
85-90 % are type 3B espohageal atresia with TEF
Tracheoesophageal Fistula anesthesia implications
Often not emergent
Gastrostomy tube placed under MAC/Local
A line
Fiberoptic cart
Precordial Stethoscope
Only way to tell if you are in the correct place after ETT placement is if you
Right mainstem them then check with Fiber optics and slowly withdraw ETT until you are just distal to fistula
TEF positioning
Left Lateral with intermittent venting of the Gastrostomy tube to prevent aspiration
Post op TEF complications
Regurg
aspiration
anastomotic leak
tracheal compression
Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus
abnormal rotation of the GI systemduring developement may have a volvulus (ischemic Bowel) r/t obstruction of the mesentary
Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus
can be determied from vomit which would be
Bilious in nature aka bile
with abdominal distension / tenderness
metabolic acidosis
electrolyte abnormalities
hemodynamically unstable
Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus
if no volvulus its not an emergency
Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus
intra op
Narcotic / paralytic / VA anesthetic
Low incidence of extubation after surgery
Increase fluid shifts
Increased IAP
Poss. open abdomen
Malrotation & Midgut Volvulus
intra op
Aggressive fluid resusc.
IVF / Blood / Bicarbonate
Often times manipulation of abd. contents will facilitate edema formation
Increase IAP / Dec FRC & lung volumes.
Often times will leave abd. open with a Silastic silo in place
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity
Through one of 3 foramen
Foramen of Morgagni (anterior)
Foramen of Bochdalek (posterolateral)
Left Foramen of Bochdalek 90%
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Resultant mediastinal shift to non-effected side
hypoplastic / aplastic lung tissue formation
Roughly 25% have congenital heart defects as well
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
S+S
Signs of respiratory distress
Tachypnea & cyanosis
Decreased transillumination on affected side
Bowel sounds in thorax
Scaphoid abdomen
Cardiovascular Anomalies
Right to Left Shunt / Obstruction of IVC
Critical pts may have to be placed on ECMO
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Pre op
Immediate stabilization is paramount
Secured airway / sedation / paralysis
Awake FOB preferred
Avoid mask ventilation prior to intubation
Unless in Acute Emergency
Read as CV Collapse - Gentle MV until airway secured
Prior to intubation, if possible, narcotics to facilitate reduction of catecholamine release
Reduction of PVR
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Pre op
Small TV with low pressure to reduce chance of pneumothorax / barotrauma
OGT / NGT placed ASAP to decompress fluid / gas
Reduce aspiration risk
Facilitate some ease of ventilation
Place on effected side to reduce pressures on heart and lung
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Intro op
Keep airway pressures below 30 cmH2O
No N2O
Frequent ABG’s
Preferrably from a preductal arterial line & umbilical line
Umbilical artery catheter is usually pre-existing
Facilitates degree of R to L shunt
Sudden reduction in lung compliance / BP / SpO2 => CONTRALATERAL pneumothroax
BAD!! One good lung now has a pneumo
Need a Chest Tube
Herculean efforts to expand ipsilateral lung immediately after surgery is contraindicated
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Intra op and post op
Intra-operative
Fluid management
Third spacing replaced via LR / NS
Mainenance - glucose containing
Albumin 5%
Post op
Pt. intubated to ICU while sedated
Omphalocele
Abdominal Wall Defect
Origin - Base of Umbilicus
Contained within hernia sac
Congenital Abn.
Trisomy 21
Cardiac Malform
Bladder Malform
Diaphragmatic Hernia
Gastroschisis
Abdominal Wall Defect
Origin - Lateral to Umbilicus
No hernia sac present (exp. content)
No congenital abnormalities usually seen
Omphalocele
Gastroschisis
Omphalocele & Gastroschisis
anesthetic implications
Often times will have planned C-Section to facilitate timely and acute management of neonate
At high risk neonate ICU / L&D Facility
Gastric decompression prior to induction
Induction can proceed as normal
Awake / asleep
With or without paralysis
Third spacing volume loss can be extensive
Must be aggressively replaced
5% albumin
LR or NS
Omphalocele & Gastroschisis
anesthetic implications
Rarely abdomen is completely closed with 1 surgery
If any of these parameters persist complete closure is held
Intragastric > 20 cmH2O - (EOP / Vent Effort)
PIP > 35 cm H2O
ETCO2 > 50 mmHg
Dacron graft placed (Silastic Silo)
Closed 2-3 days later
Obviously remains intubated until complete closure
Maintain fluid status / normothermia
Pyloric Stenosis
Hypertrophied muscular layer around the pylorus sphincter
Reduces ability of gastric contents to be emptied
Most commonly seen 2-6 weeks of age
Chronic vomiting (nonbilious)
Hyponatremia / hypokalemia / hypochloremia / alkalosis
Causes hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis
Pyloric Stenosis
Surgical correction is rarely if ever emergent
Fluid / electrolyte correction is paramount
With depletion of Ions
Kidneys excrete H+, even in the face of the present alkalosis
Na+ / H+ anti-port in kidneys….remember?? (Me neither)
Kidneys also exctrete bicarbonate in an effort to neutralize the system
If uncorrected it may lead to shock and renal failure
LR is metabolized to bicarbonate
Should be avoided
NS with K+ supplementation
Pyloric Stenosis
Anesthesia implications
Gastric Decompression
Supine / L Lateral / R Lateral
Not one, all three positions while sx is on
Facilitates complete emptying
Awake FOB or RSI
Short procedure, requiring muscular paralysis
Increased incidence of respiratory depression
Should be monitored postoperatively with apnea monitors
Infectious Croup vs. Acute Epiglottitis
Croup
Croup - Follow URTI (Viral)
3 mo - 3 yoa
Onset - gradual over Days
Subglottic
Laryngeotracheobronchitis

Dexamethasone
IM / PO / Neb
ETT only when prolonged obstruct. persists and resp. muscles fail
Cool nights
