A

chest x-ray = loops of bowel in chest

39
Q

chronic lung disease, gastroesophageal reflux, growth failure

41

43
Q

inguinal hernia may not manifest until…

A

2-3 months, though sac IS present at birth

44
Q

inguinal hernia: surgical considerations

A

put surgery off until 10 pounds because bigger, stronger babies do better in surgery

surgery is outpatient and not very scary!

45
Q

hirschsprung’s disease aka

A

congenital aganglionic megacolon

46
Q

hirschsprung’s disease

A

congenital anomaly that results in mechanical obstruction from inadequate motility in part of the intestine; no innervation = no peristalsis AND decreased relaxation of internal rectal sphincter; collapsed rectum can also result

megacolon occurs due to obstruction in portion directly above part of tract with no ennervation

A

21-35%/15-26%

chronic constipation, ftt, foul smelling and ribbonlike stools, abdominal distension

50
Q

hirschsprung’s: classic poo for infancy/childhood diagnosis*

A

foul smelling and ribbonlike*

51
Q

hirschsprung’s: stage I management

A

surgical removal of aganglionic bowel, temporary 6 mo ostomy over stretched out area - it needs to rest

52
Q

hirschsprung’s: stage II management

A

8mo - 1yo -OR- 20 lbs

“pull” the end of intact bowel down to rectum for reanastomosis

53
Q

hirschsprung’s: stage III management

A

closure of colostomy, usually 3 mo after stage II

54
Q

hirschsprung’s: conservative therapy for mild

A

occasional enemas, develop regular poo pattern, at continued risk for development of enterocolitis

(population with mild sx very small)

55
Q

enterocolitis

A

inflammation of bowel, esp small intestine

signs: explossive, watery diarrhea, fever, appears significantly ill

56
Q

hirschsprung’s: high risk for…?

A

SEPSIS! (prior to surgery)

57
Q

acute intestinal obstruction: manifestation

A
  • abdominal pain
  • distension
  • nausea, vomiting
  • change in stool
58
Q

pyloric stenosis: manifestations*

A

early, nonbilious vomiting beginning around 3 weeks of age, progressing to projectile

olive shaped mass in epigastrum palpable*; can see waves of peristalsis too

59
Q

pyloric stenosis: classic sign*

A

olive shaped mass in epigastrum palpable*

60
Q

pyloric stenosis

A

narrowing of the pyloric sphincter at the outlet of the stomach, obstructing the flow of food into the small intestines

61
Q

pyloric stenosis: pathophys

A

muscle of pyloric sphincter becomes thick, elongated, narrowing the pyloric channel

62
Q

pyloric stenosis: manifestations*

A

early, nonbilious vomiting beginning around 3 weeks of age, progressing to projectile

olive shaped mass in epigastrum palpable*; can see waves of peristalsis too

63
Q

epigastrum

A

upper, central region of abdomen

64
Q

pyloric stenosis: diagnosis

A
  • often made by hx, pe
  • ultrasound
  • possible metabolic alkalosis, severe volume depletion
65
Q

pyloric stenosis: metabolic consideration

A

metabolic alkalosis possible, correct before surgery!

66
Q

pyloric stenosis: postop considerations

A
  • feed 4-6 hours after
  • vomiting is not uncommon
  • manage pain
67
Q

intussusception

A

telescoping of the bowel upon itself

after fixing, only 10% reoccur

68
Q

intussusception: acute clinical manifestations

A

triad!

  • pain: sudden onset of crampy abdominal pain
  • sausage shaped abdominal mass
  • currant jelly stool

pain, sausage, currant jelly stool

if ACUTE intussusception

withdraw gluten from diet = full remission of sx

?

78

79
Q

ger: therapeutic management

A

feed at higher angle, sit up 30 min after feeds, feed small amount more often, burp a lot, med management possible

80
Q

ger: therapeutic management

A

feed at higher angle, sit up 30 min after feeds, feed small amount more often, burp a lot, med management possible, nissen fundoplication

81
Q

nissen fundoplication

A

after eating, environment, medication management all tried

stomach is its own cardiac sphincter! (wrap around bottom of esophagus)

82
Q

gastroesophageal reflux

A

transfer of gastric contents into esophagus; physiologic phenomenon occurring throughout the day (most frequently after meals and at night)

usually resolves spontaneously by 1 year of age

83
Q

ger vs gerd

A

gerd is sx/tissue damage that result FROM ger. ger -> gerd when complications seen:

84
Q

silo

A

mesh used to house omphalocele that is extremely large or that can’t be pushed back into abdominal cavity because cavity is small.

can be suspended using mild tension. antibacterial ointment applied to prevent infection. compressed on a daily basis. ideally accomplished within 7 to 10 days.
