why would infant be cyanotic
amniotic fluid in lung
cong. heart disease
cong. heart vs respiratory cyanosis: how to tell the difference
listen for murmurs
-single S2: worrisome
baby PMI
right side hypertrophy, so right shifted–>just left of sternal border (vs. mid clavicular line in adults)
- ensure not situs inversus
- ensure no tension pneumothorax (R: right hyper expands, shift left of PMI, vis versa)
baby PMI

cong. heart vs respiratory cyanosis: how to tell the difference
listen for murmurs
-single S2: worrisome
palpate this before listening to lungs/heart
PMI
baby PMI
right side hypertrophy, so right shifted–>just left of sternal border (vs. mid clavicular line in adults)
check pre-ductal (PDA) pulse ox
right arm: if lower no mixing??
postductal : leg or left arm
cardiac pre vs. post O2
pH: 7.44
CO2: 20
O2: 50
pH: 7.44
CO2: 20
O2: 54
not much change! problem with ductus, still not getting O2
lung problem: CO2 levels and hyperoxia test
retained CO2 (elevated)
dec. O2
hyperoxia test PaO2>150 mmHg
retracting, gasping, grunting, crackles, rhonchi, rales
heart problem: CO2 levels and hyperoxia test
normal or dec. CO2
dec. O2
PaO2 50-150 mmHg
quiet tachypnea
norm.
resp pre vs post O2
pH: 7.2
CO2: 70
O2: 50
pH: 7.2
CO2: 66
O2: 160

oxyhood
can be given instead of mask/intubation
*if CO2 is not a problem
transient tachypnea of the newborn
typ. term baby
mult. deliveries, C sec
respiratory problem
some retained fluid
check CBC
ddx for trans. tachypnea of newborn (“blue baby”)
meconium in utero: thick pea soup–>meconium aspirates: would intubate (ET tube, meconium aspirator) may need to bag them
-fluid in lungs–>chemical pneumonitis (bile acid)–>tachypnea
“meconium staining”
rare for premies, mostly term: think inf. w/ listeria if premie
chorioamnioitis orgs
group B. Strep, E. coli, listeria
meconium does not have
bacteria?
pneumothorax
seen on CXR: free air, pushes heart to opposite side
may occur from meconium aspiration
mom had fever while baby in utero, baby has foul smell
chorioamnionitis
can dev. into pneumonia
baby comes out w. flu, tachypnic
chorioamnioitis orgs
group B. Strep, E. coli, listeria
premature risk w/ O2 deficiency
surfactant deficiency 37 wks inc. work of breathing grunting inc. resp. rate
phys. signs of resp. distress
Nasal flaring: causes marked reduction in nasal resistance…can reduce lung resistance, and decrease work of breathing
Retractions: disturbance in lung and chest wall mechanics: intercostal, subcostal and suprasternal muscles
Cyanosis: clinically apparent when at least 5gm/100ml of hgb becomes unsaturated
cardiac baby would NOT grunt
common pulm. causes
Retained Fetal Lung Liquid Syndrome (RFLLS or also known as Transient Tachypnea of newborn or TTN)* Respiratory Distress Syndrome Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Pneumonia Air leak* most likely for premie
non-pulm causes RD
Cardiac: ie: cyanotic congenital heart disease
Infection : sepsis
Metabolic Disorders: ie Hypoglycemia, inborn errors of metabolism
CNS disorders: ie: meningitis, seizure, obstructed hydrocephalus
Other: ie Anemia, polycythemia, asphyxia
“panting like a dog”
not retractions
CXR for surf. deficiency
air bronchograms wet lungs "ground glass" higher surface tension (with 100% O2, O2 would inc., CO2 would still be elevated)
can give babies CPaP?
yes, can also intubate but use oxyhood if not as bad
what lung cells respond to surfactant
type 2 alveolar cells
