is it normal to see abdominal distention after a NB eats
yes, due to intestinal muscles being weak

if a NB hasn’t pooped in 24 hours what do we suspect
obstruction suspected
when are bowel sounds present after birth
1 hour
mucus stools
milk allergy
clay/gray stools
obstruction of bile ducts (hepatic problem)

what does a imperforated anus usually accompany
spinal cord defects
when does a imperforated anus usually occur
7th week of intrauterine life (same as spinal cord)
S/Sx of imperforated anus
absence of anus, membrane filled with black mec protruding from rectum, no stools passed within 24 hours, meconium in urine or vaginal opening

want to keep them on their backs after surgery, keep area clean
protrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall at the point of the junction of the umbilical cord and abdomen
omphalocele
when does a omphalocele usually occur
6-8 weeks intrauterine
Tx of omphalocele
delivery via C/S, topical application of warmed saline soaked pads and plastic drape, prophylactic Abx, surgery (delayed to allow NB to grow
what do you need to watch for when doing surgery for a omphalocele

- lip
- maxillary
- palatal processes
- 5-6 weeks
- week 7
- week 13
repair of palate
palatoplasty
what is extremely important in cleft palate
oral hygiene
menstruation from decrease of estrogen from mother
pseudomenstration
excessive secretion of androgens by the adrenal cortex, AKA ambiguous genitalia
decrease of cortisol, decrease aldosterone, increase of androgen
congenital adrenal hyperplasia
what kind of recessive disorder is congenital adrenal hyperplasia
autosomal recessive disorder
what is the patho of congenital adrenal hyperplasia
interference in biosynthesis of cortisol during fetal life resulting in increase production of ACTH (which stimulates cortisol production) and has an excessive production of androgens
S/Sx of congenital adrenal hyperplasia
ambiguous genitalia
female: clitoris enlarged, fusion of labia
male: enlargement of genitals
emergency situation caused by a lack of cortisol so body cant respond to stress, when have stressful situation have dizziness, weakness, N/V, sweting and LOC
acute adrenal crisis
Tx for adrenal crisis
glutocoticods, lean S & Sx and must keep solu-cortef
if adrenal hyperplasia is left untreated
early development of axilliary, pubic and facial hair,
early closure of growth plate (short stature)
Tx for adrenal hyperplasia
cortisone, may need reconstructive surgery
if salt losing type: supplement with salt (aldosterone & cortisone)
IgG
passive acquired immunity, transferred to fetus in utero, fetus does not produce, protects against bacterial toxins
IgM
active immunity, fetus is able to produce by 20 weeks, stimulated by all infectious agents
IgA
does not cross placenta, not produced by fetus, secretory surfaces (resp., GI, eyes)
Secretory IgA
passive immunity, transferred through colostrum and breast milk
when is passive immunity of the NB gone by
3 months
HIV
retrovirus, contact with body fluids
when do you test NB for HIV
2-3 weeks, 1-2 months, 4-6 months
fetal effects of HIV
AIDS dysmorphia syndrome, resembles FAS
Tx for NB HIV
avoid PROM, C/S, forceps, episiotomy, administer IV Zidovutine
Dx of NB HIV
2 positive results
gonorrhea
contacted with infected birth canal,
fetal effects of gonorrhea
blindness
Tx of gonorrhea in NB
erythromycin, if active infection also PCN
Toxoplasmosis
systemic protozoal, transplacental, undercooked meat, contact with cat feces
fetal effects of toxoplasmosis
jaundice, premature, hepatomegaly, IUGR

direct contact with exudates, transplacental
fetal effects with syphilis
asymptomatic at birth, rashes, lesions, FTT, SGA

german measles, virus, droplet, contact, transplacental
fetal effects on rubella
heart & eye, (blind deaf, fetal death)
Dx of rubella in NB
TORCH titer
Tx for tubella in NB
isolation, screen
CMV
most prevalent of TORCH group, transplacental, NO BREAST FEEDING
fetal effects with CMV
