Pestana5 (Peds) Flashcards
Esophageal atresia (sxs 2)
- Excess salivation at birth
- Choking spells w/ first feeding
Most common esophageal atresia
Blind pouch in upper esophagus, fistula bw lower esophagus and tracheobronchial tree (Type C)
Esophageal atresia (workup)
- Look at anus for imperforation
- Xray for vertebral and radial anomalies
- Echocardiogram for cardiac anomalies
- Sonogram for renal anomalies
Esophageal atresia (a/w)
VACTER
Vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheal, esophageal, renal/radial anomalies
Esophageal atresia (mgmt)
- Surgical repair
- If delayed, need gastrostomy to protect lungs
Imperforated anus (workup 2)
- r/o VACTER
- Look for fistula nearby
Imperforated anus (mgmt)
Fistula (+): delay until further growth
Fistula (-): high rectal pouch, colostomy; low rectal pouch, repair
Imperforated anus (determining level of rectal pouch)
Upside down xrays w/ metal marker on the anus
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (features 3)
- Always on left
- Bowel in the chest
- Respiratory distress
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (major complication)
Hypoplastic lung
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (mgmt 5)
- Delay repair for 3-4 days to allow lung maturation
- Endotracheal intubation
- Low-pressure ventilation
- Sedation
- NG suction
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (dx)
Sonogram before birth
Gastroschisis vs omphalocele
- Gastroschisis: no membrane, cord is normal
- Omphalocele: thin membrane, cord defect
Gastroschisis, omphalocele (mgmt)
- Small: primary closure
- Large: protect w/ Silastic silo, then squeeze bowel into abdomen little by little over a week
- Vascular access in gastroschisis for perenteral nutrition
Exstrophy of the urinary bladder (mgmt)
Repair w/in the first 1-2 DOL
Green vomiting and “double-bubble” sign on xray (ddx 3)
- Duodenal atresia (newborn issue)
- Annular pancreas (newborn issue)
- Malrotation (can show up anytime w/in first few wks of life)
Malrotation (dx)
Contrast enema or upper GI study
