Q

A

Central cyanosis

20
Q

What is the hyperoxitest? Result interpretation?

A

Check ABG, provide 100% PaO2.

Rise or pO2 > 100mmHg the cause is probably pulmonary. If no rise, cardiac

21
Q

Where is the heart listened to in peds?

A

midclavicular line, 4th or 5th intercostal space (same as adult)

Q

What are three conditions that can cause a heart shift?

A
  1. Pneumothorax
  2. Dextrocardia
  3. Diaphragmatic hernia
23
Q

What is the normal newborn HR?

A

120-160 BPM

24
Q

A fixed HR above 220 in children can be indicative of what?

A

Supraventricular tachycardia

25

28
Q

What causes most murmurs in newborns?

A

Changes in vascular pressures during early transition after birth

29
Q

What is a machinery murmur indicative of?

A

PDA

30
Q

A bounding pulse in infants can indicative of what?

A

PDA

31
Q

Diminished femoral pulses may be due to what?

A

Aortic coarctation

32
Q

What is the order of the femoral artery, nerve, and vein, going medially to laterally?

A

VAN

33
Q

What is a hypertensive BP in infants?

36
Q

When are murmurs common?

A

3-7 years of age

37
Q

After what age as murmurs concerning?

A

After 7 yo

38
Q

What happens when children lie supine (as far as murmurs go)?

A

Heard better

39
Q

What happens when children sit/stand up or hold their breath (as far as murmurs go)?

A

Heard less

40
Q

A

More pronounced

41
Q

Where should the extremity be when cap refill is assessed?

A

Above the heart

44
Q

How does the diaphragm attach in peds compared to adults, and what is the consequence of this?

A

Diaphragm is more horizontal in infants, leading to decreased contraction efficiency
