peds week 2b Flashcards
What does NPO do to mucosa in peds?
sticky
Deciduous teeth erupt at ___ months and begin shedding between ____ years
6 months and 6-8 years
larynx located in ped
c3-4
adult larynx located
c4-5
shape of ped airway
funnel
length of trachea(vocal cords to carina) in neonates and children up to one year of age
5-9cm or 2-2.5 inches
____ to ____ cm H2O should leak
15-25
is the hyoepiglotic ligament formed in peds?
No, so cannot compress with mac blade to move epiglottis
Infants are obligate nasal breathers until how many months? and why?
3-5months because the major source of resistance to airflow is the lower airways
overcoming the resistance of the nares accounts for ___% of the work of breathing for infants as compared to ___% in adults
25%, 60%
children less than 6 months rely on what type of breathing primarily?
diaphragmatic breathing.
diaphragm contains smaller percentage of what type of muscle fibers?
Type 1, (slow twitch, fatigues resistant)
what age does ribe cage contribution increase to 50%
9 months
What age does chest wall become stable and resists inward recoil of lungs?
12 months.
Infant respiratory rate
30-50
Infant tidal volume
7mL/kg
Dead space infant
2-2.5mL/kg
Infant Alveolar ventilation
100-150mL/kg/min
Functional residual capacity infant
27-30mL/kg
Infant oxygen consumption
7-9mL/kg/min
how does anesthesia reduce FRC
causes peripheral airway collapse and impaired intercostal and diaphragm activity
ETT calculation
(age in years + 16)/4
At what pressure should there be an audible air leak around tube
15-25cmH2O
post operative croup has been found to be caused by _______ more than any other factor
excessive tube size
Canceled cases reasons
wheezing,
green nasal drainage,
fever
increased risk of bronchospasm with
URI in past 2-6 weeks
contraction of what adductor muscles of larynx causes laryngospasm
lateral cricoarytenoids, thyroarytenoids, and cricoarytenoids
stimulation of what nerve causes laryngospasm
superior laryngeal nerve
causes of laryngospasm
inhalation of volatile agents,
excessive secretions in the airway,
presence of URI(hyper-irritable),
manipulation of the airway (intubation, extubation),
stimulation of the visceral nerve endings in the pelvis, abdomen, and thorax
Treatment of laryngospasm
- remove irritating stimulus (suction),
- remove debris from airway,
- deepen anesthesia as appropriate,
- 100% O2 via tight fitting face mask,
- Sustained positive airway pressure (30-40cmH2O),
- manual forward displacement of mandible,
- if airway maneuvers fail-atropine, succs, and consider intubation
