Pharm Peds Flashcards
Protein binding in neonates
Albumin and alpha 1 acid glycoprotein are found in lower concentration than in adults, same level at 5 months
Inc free active drug in neonatal
What substances found in neonate can reduce protein binding
Bilirubin
Free fatty acid
Maternal steroids
Volume distribution
Larger in infants and children due to inc tbw
Decrease FAT: need lower doses of fat soluble meds: Propofol
What med doses need to be increased in neonates
Sux, abx
Neonatal kidney receives only ?% of CO
5-6% of CO
Term infant GFR is
40% of adult
Preterm 20-30% of adult
Increases over 1st year of life
Who has the highest cardiovascular complication durning induction
<1 year old
Uptake of inhalation in infants & small children
Faster, greater ratio of alveolar ventilation to FRC
Faster RR in infant
Fe: Fi of 1.0
Infant
Child
Adult
Infants 25 min
Child 30 min
Adult 60 min
Shunt
Right to left
Slower rise in blood concentration
Slower inhalation induction
Shunt left to right
Effect on FE: FI depends on size
Large shunts speed induction
Small little effect
Isoflurane
Infants MAC 1.6
Less myocardial depression than halothane, but dec SVR more
Pungent
Desflurane MAC
Neonate 9.16 Infant 1-6 months 9.4 Infant >6 mon 9.9 Toddler 8.72 Child = 8.0-8.3 Adult = 6.6
What is des associated with
Pungent
Cough, laryngospasm
Good for maintainence not induction
Sevoflurane
MAC
Neonate = 3 Infant 1-6 months = 3.2 Infant >6mon= 2.6 Child 1-12= 2.5 Adult 1.7 Elderly 1.5
Second facts about Sevo
Ideal for inhalation
Low incidence of myocardial depression even with overpressure
Avoid low flows due to toxic renal metabolites, esp in neonates
Emergence delirium
Why children require larger dose of induction IV meds
Inc met rate
Inc cerebral O2 consumption
Inc cerebral blood flow
Inc vd
Propofol
Induction 2-3 mg/kg IV, not common to use
Sedation 60-300 mcq/kg/min
Etomidate
Induction .2-.3 mg/kg IV
