If vaccinated: Staph. aureus; if unvaccinated: Hib

33
Q

What sinuses begin to develop at 7-8 years old?

A

Frontal

34
Q

MC pathogen for bacterial tracheitis

A

S. aureus

35
Q

Ragged air column on lateral neck xray due to debris and sloughed off mucus membranes

A

Bacterial Tracheitis

36
Q

PE: drooling, neck held in hyperextension, bulging of the posterior pharyngeal wall, neck pain, muffled voice, respiratory distress

A

RETROPHARYNGEAL ABSCESS

37
Q
  • 1-3 years old; similar to LTB EXCEPT the history of a viral prodrome and fever in the patient and family are often absent; causes are viral, allergic, psychologic
  • mostly nighttime symptoms with mild to moderate coryza and hoarseness
  • awakens with a metallic, barking cough, noisy inspiration, appears frightened

SPASMODIC CROUP

38
Q

Q

CLASSIFY ASTHMA BASED ON SEVERITY

A
40
Q

CHARGE syndrome

A
  • C – coloboma of the eye
  • H – heart defect

• A – atresia choanae

  • R – retarded growth and development or CNS anomalies
  • G – genital anomalies or hypogonadism
  • E – ear anomalies
41
Q

The most common extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis in children is:

A

Scrofula

42
Q

mild erythematous posterior pharynx and bulging of the posterior pharyngeal wall

A

Retropharyngeal abscess

43
Q

Patient presents with sore, scratchy throat, nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. Paroxysms of cough leaving the baby breathless & subconjunctival hemorrhages.

A

Pertussis or whooping cough

44
Q

Treatment for LTB

A
  • All levels of respiratory distress: Dexamethasone;
  • moderate to severe distress: steroid and add racemic epinephrine

* Racemic epinephrine works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening of the blood vessels. Thus, bronchial and tracheal secretions and airway wall edema decreases. Racemic epinephrine stimulates both α- and β-adrenergic receptors. It acts on vascular smooth muscle to produce vasoconstriction which markedly decreases blood flow at the capillary level. This shrinks upper respiratory mucosa and reduces edema.

45
Q

Thump sign / leaf sign

A

Epiglotittis

46
Q

Wheezes are heard loudest over the trachea. Persistent wheezing never seems to go away

A

Chondromalacia
