about 2.5cm long
lateral lobes nad median sulcus are palpable
5 tanner stage descriptions in boys
Stage 2
- Public hair: Sparse growth of long, slightly pigmented, downy hair, straight or only slightly curled, chiefly at the base of the penis
- Penis: Slight or no enlargement
- Testes larger; scrotum larger, somewhat reddened, and altered in texture
Scalene muscle use
Used continuosly in COPD
Unable to see
Use fingers to palpate
Lower margin for et tube on x ray
T4, 2-3 cm above carina
Strawberry cervix
Vaginitis
Pneumothorax
acute onset of unilateral chest pain and dyspnea
unilateral expansion
decreased tactile fremitus
hyperresonance
diminshed breath sounds
mediastinal shift
cyanosis
hypotension in tension pneumothorax
Heavies or lifts
abnormal ventricular movements
Carotid pulse quality
Upstroke may be
Brisk = normal
delayed = aortic stenosis
bounding = suggests aortic insufficiency
5 tanner stage descriptions in boys
Stage 4
- Pubic hair: Coarse and curly hair, as in the adult; area covered greater than in stage 3, but not as great as in the adult and not yet including the thighs
- Penis: Further enlarged in length and breadth, with development of the glans
- Testes and Scrotum: Further enlarged; scrotal skin darkened
5 tanner stage descriptions in girls
Stage 1
Stage 1: No hair. No glandular breast tissue palpable
Pediatric SVT
Most common rhythm disturbance in children
0.1 - 0.4% of population, 7% in patients with congenital defects
majority of patients are structurally normal
HR is age dependant, infants = 220-280, children/teens = 180-240
usually 10-15 minutes, can be hours
in early infancy often resolves by year 1
if presetn after 5 y/o, tends to persist
Grey turners sign
Necrotizing pancreatitis
Breathing Pattern Wave forms

cremasteric reflex
Testicular torsion
tickle thigh
watch for testicular retraction
no movement means a positive test
Rectum vs anus
- A serrated line demarcates the anal canal from the rectum
- The anorectal junction (often called the pectinate or dentate line) is the boundary between somatic and visceral nerve supplies
