Q

Why are free radicals bad in neonates?

A

they can travel to the retina and cause blindness, or it can damage the lung to cause bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Q

How does maternal diabetes cause neonatal RDS?

A

Insulin is an inhibitor of surfactant production. Increased sugars causes pancreas to produce more insulin in baby.

16
Q

_____ increases risk of free radical injury, a possible complication of neonatal RDS.

A

Supplemental O2

17
Q

What is neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?

A

respiratory distress due to inadequate surfactant levels

18
Q

Why does interstitial fibrosis occur in ARDS?

A

type II pneumocytes were depleted (they’re the stem cells) so instead of regeneration of the lung, it’s instead repaired

19
Q

What is the underlying problem in ARDS?

A

diffuse damage to the alveolar-capillary interface w/I the air sac –> leaking of protein rich fluid –> fluid reorganizes into formation of hyaline membranes

20
Q

Hypoxemia increases the risk of ______ and _____ in neonatal RDS.

A

patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and necrotizing enterocolitis

21
Q

In _____, activation of neutrophils induces protease-mediated and free radical damage of type I and II pneumocytes.

A

ARDS

22
Q

_____ is produced by type II pneumocyte in the lungs.

A

Surfactant

23
Q

What are the 3 main causes of neonatal RDS?

A
  1. prematurity
  2. C-section delivery
  3. maternal diabetes
24
Q

What can cause ARDS?

A
  1. sepsis
  2. infection
  3. shock
  4. trauma
  5. aspiration
  6. pancreatitis
  7. DIC
  8. hypersensitivity rxn
  9. drugs
25
Q

In ARDS, activation of _____ induces protease-mediated and free radical damage of type I and II pneumocytes.

A

neutrophils

26
Q

What do L and S stand for in the L:S ratio of surfactant adequacy?

A

L = lessafin (increases w/ increasing surfactant production)S = sphingomyolin (constant)

27
Q

What causes bronchopulmonary dysplasia?

A

free radical damage to the lungs

28
Q

Why can C-section delivery cause neonatal RDS?

A

a vaginal birth stresses the bay, causing steroid release that helps produce and release surfactant. C-section babies don’t get this stressor.

29
Q

What do steroids do to surfactant?

A
  1. increase production
  2. increase its release from the type II pneumocytes
30
Q

What are the xray findings in ARDS?

A

diffuse white out

31
Q

In ARDS, activation of neutrophils induces _____ and ____ damage of type I and II pneumocytes.

A

protease-mediated; free radical

32
Q

______ increases the risk of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and necrotizing enterocolitis in neonatal RDS.

A

Hypoxemia

33
Q

At what value or greater is the L:S surfactant ratio considered adequate/a mature lung?

A
