46
Q

treatment of croup

A
  1. O2 w/ cool aqueus mist,
  2. Recemic epi (vasoconstriction of capillaries in subglottic mucosa, Beta adrenergic bronchodilatory effect) Albuterol,
  3. Corticosteroids? Stabilize cell membrane integrity, decrease release of inflammatory mediators,
  4. antipyretics

47
Q

Most frequent site of foreign body aspiration

A

right mainstem

48
Q

A

cough, wheezing, decreased air entry into affected lung, URI, pneumonia

50
Q

Treatment of foreign body aspiration

A

laryngoscopic or endoscopic removal,
best to remove within 24 hr,
risks of leaving foreign object-> migration of aspirated material, pneumonia, residual pulmonary disease

51
Q

anesthetic management foreign body

A

with airway obstruction- inhalation of volatile agent in O2 maintaining spontaneous ventilation,
without airway obstruction- IV induction with standard agents

52
Q

What do you want to avoid with airway obstruction?

A

NDNMBs,
positive pressure may migrate aspiration material,
narrow bronchoscope creates high resistance to gas flow,
typically there is a large gas leak around the bronchoscope

what may be required if removal of aspirate object is too large to pass through moving cords?

A

succs, cisatracurium

54
Q

post op of removal of foreign body

upper airway obstruction,
massive hypertrophy,
chronic upper resp infections,
OSA

57
Q

anesthetic management T and A

A

premed oral or intranasal versed,
IH induction with sevo,
intubate-deep (sevo and propofol 1-2mg/kg) or with short acting NDNMB,
