Peds Medical Conditions Flashcards
What is the most frequent chromosomal aberration?
Down Syndrome @ 1.5 per 1000 live births
Major airway characteristics associated w/down syndrome
short neck, macroglossia, mandibular hypoplasia narrow nasopharynx hypertrophic T&A subglottic stenosis c-spine instability
major CV problems w/down’s
CV d/o 40 - 50 % (ASD, VSD, TOF, PDA, AV Canal Defect)
down’s & AAI
characterized by excessive movement at the junction between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) as a result of either a bony or ligamentous abnormality. Neurologic symptoms can occur when the spinal cord or adjacent nerve roots are involved.
7 - 36%
AOI
Atlanto-occipital dislocation involves complete disruption of all ligamentous relationships between the occiput and the atlas. Death usually occurs immediately
airway considerations for ds
assess OSA
downsize ETT
video blad
cardiac considerations for ds
bradycarda on induction
CHD? bacteria endocarditis prophylaxis
pulm. HTN d/t CHD or OSA
ds & hypothyroidism
delayed GI, altered drug metabolism
MPS
genetic lysosomal storage disease that has malfunctioning enzymes. they normally break down glycosaminoglycans or ‘gags’
MPS or GAGs are long chain CHO found in the cells of bone, skin, CT, corneas
MPS s/s
striking skeletal features
behavior
MPS I
hurler
tx: stem cell, ERT, supportive
enzyme: alpha-L-iduronidase
MPS II
hunter
tx: ERT, supportive
enzyme: iduronate sulfatase
hurler syndrome
genetic (autosomal recessive)
glycosaminoglycan buildup
dead by 10 d/t organ damage
hurler s/s (5)
hepatosplenomegaly dwarf + unique facial features broad chest, spine deformities recurrent respiratory infections CAD, mitral valve thickening, CM
worst airway in peds (8)
hurler b/c
- big head
- large tongue, lips, T&A
- snotty
- narrow trachea
- OSA
- short neck
- high epiglottis
- atlantoaxial subluxation
WORSE WITH AGE
hunter
x-linked mucopolysaccharidosis type II
variable presentation, apparent by age 2 - 4
hunter compared to hurler
less ID, less joint dx, less organ stuff & slower
death by late teens w/o treatment (mild form maybe 40)
ERT not as helpful
hunter s/s (3)
stiff soft tissue, cephalad + anterior larynx
pectus excavatum
cspine narrowing
hunter + anesthesia
DAW
OPA worsens airway
positioning sucks
sensitive to opioids
hurler + prbcs
irradiated, leuko-reduced b/c stem cell tx
neuro + MPS
hydrocephalus and seizures
CHARGE
must have four of the below
Colobomas Heart disease Atresia chonae (no nasal airway/ngt) Retarded growth/cns abnormalities Genital anomalies Ear anomalies or death
CHARGE & gestation
2nd month
other s/s CHARGE (4)
cleft lip
micrognathia & short neck
laryngomalacia
subglottic stenosis
anesthesia & charge
deaf pt - interpreter
GERD + impaired gag = aspiration
SBE prophylaxis for CHD kids
DAW that increases with age
CF definition
inherited - autosomal recessive mutation of long arm of chromosome 9
membrane GP chloride channel that contributes to the regulation of ion flux at various epithelial surfaces
1 in 2000
CF & systems
mucus = thick intestine obstruction pancreas sucks biliary cirrhosis congenital absence of vas deferens
CF dx
sweat chloride >80 mEq/L + clinical s/s (cough, chronic purulent sputum, exertion dyspnea)
resp. dx + CF
pseudomonas or staph
mucous gland hypertrophy
impaired ciliary clearance
spontaneous pneumo risk increases with age
PFT & CF
obstructive - eventually leads to restrictive FRC increased decreased FEV1 decreased PEFR decreased VC
anesthesia & CF
volatiles decrease airway resistance and smooth muscle tone. however, inhalational inductions are prolonged
- short-acting anesthetics are important
- hydrate + suction
- cuffed ETT b/c high ventilation preessures
CP
1/3 have mental impairment - which means 2/3 don’t
varying degrees of weakness - spastic quad
1/3 epilepsy
CP treatment
- ortho procedures
- dental
- nissen
CP & anesthesia
- hepatic inducer d/t epilepsy drugs
- GERD = high risk, no LMA
- contractures
- slow emergence
pierre robin
congenital condition of developmental fascial malformations including
- hypoplastic mandible
- pseudo-macroglossia (posterior tongue placement)
- high cleft palate
clearly DAW
pierre robin s/s
OSA, improves w/age
cor pulmonale, vagal hyperreactivity
central apnea
