Peds exam 2 Flashcards
Hypoxemia assessment findings
Cyanosis
Wheezing
Grunting
Rales
Inc accessory muscle use
Flaring nares
Cough
Tachypnea
Club fingers
Anxiety and restlessness
Stridor on inspiration
Hypoxemia management
Pulse oximetry, oxygen therapy(lowest O2 needed to correct), chest physiotherapy(contraindicated dec cardiac reserves PE or inc ICP), suctioning
Hypoxemia priorities of care
Priority problems= ineffective breathing pattern/impaired gas exchange/ineffective airway clearance
Patho of hypoxemia
Patho of cystic fibrosis
Autosomal recessive disorder CFTR gene with various mutations- disrupts chloride ion movement and sodium reabsorption=thick tenacious mucus in resp tract, pancreas, GI tract, and other exocrine tracts/ducts
Cystic fibrosis effects on body
Pancreatic enzyme function=lost—>malabsorption of fats, proteins, and CHOs, dec growth and foul, fatty stools
Excess mucus production plugs smaller airways causing bronchiolitis-> secondary bacterial infections, chronic obstruction/inflammation, tissue damage, resp failure
Cystic fibrosis physical findings
-Thick, tenacious sputum
Air
obstruction/trapping/chronic cough URI
-unable to clear secretions
-R sided HF (cor pulmonale)
-clubbing/barrel chest
-dehydration
-dec pancreatic enzymes=thick mucous
-abd distension/difficulty passing stool (bulky, fat, greasy stools=steatorrhea)
-poor weight gain despite appetite, delayed growth
Deficiency of fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K)
Cystic fibrosis diagnostics
Sweat chloride test: Chloride >40mEq/L in infants (<3mo), >60mEq/L for all other ages.
Sodium >90mEq/L
KUB-detects meconium ileus
Stool analysis-presence of fat and enzymes
CXR-hyperinflation, bronchioles wall thickening , atelectasis, infiltrates
PFT-dec forced vital capacity/expiratory vol
Cystic fibrosis nursing management priorities
-ACT therapy (airway clearance therapy): chest PT w/ postural drainage-clear secretions and prevent infection
-aerosol therapy
-O2 as prescribed
-Monitor for CO2 retention
-High protein high calorie diet
-supplement fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K)
-admin pancreatic ensures within 30 min of eating meal or snack
Croup
Laryngotracheobronchitis; 3mo-3yrs most Connolly affected and rare after age 6
Croup patho
Inflammation and edema of larynx, trachea, bronchi obstructing airway- viral(parainfluenza)
Sudden onset at night, gone in morning, self-limiting, lasts 3-5 days
Croup physical findings
-low grade fever, restlessness
-“barking” cough
-inspiratory stridor,dyspnea, retractions
Infants: nasal flaring, intercostal retractions
Croup nursing management priorities
Managed at home, educate about inc resp distress s/s
-hospitalization for significant stridor at rest/severe retractions
-cool mist humidifier/steamy BR
-O2 continuous oximetry
-hydration
Asthma patho
Chronic inflammatory airway disease—> intermittent and reversible airflow obstruction of bronchioles
Asthma medications
Asthma medications-acute
Asthma medications-chronic
Asthma medication management
Asthma medications-acute indications
Asthma medications-chronic indications
Asthma assessment findings
-Hacking cough, worse at night, non-productive
-dyspnea w/ exercise, SOB, chest tightness, CP
-wheeling, coarse crackles, may be diminished BS;SILENT CHEST=OMINOUS SIGN(no air movmt)
-difficulty talking
-restlessness, irritability
-sweating
-use of accessory muscles
-low O2 sats
-tripod positioning
Asthma diagnostics
CBC(inc WBC, inc eosinophils)
ABG (inc CO2, dec O2)
Allergy/RAST testing
Dec SpO2
CXR(hyperinflation/infiltrates)
PFT(lung capacity and overall lung function)
PIFR-Peak inspiratory flow rates
Status asthmaticus
Status asthmaticus nursing actions
Status asthmaticus medication management
Epiglottitis
