Term baby with fluid stained with meconium

37
Q

Radiographic findings in meconium aspiration syndrome

A

Coarse markings, asymmetrical areas of hyperinflation

38
Q

Pathophys of meconium aspiration syndrome

A

Mechanical obstruction, chemical inflammation (acidic), surfactant inactivation -> decreases compliance, decreases alveolar ventilation, increases pulmonary vascular resistance

39
Q

Treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome

A

Suction of trachea

40
Q

Clinical findings in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn

A

Term baby; cyanosis from R -> L shunt = severe hypoxia

41
Q

Pathophys of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn

A

maladaption (increased pulmonary vascular resistance from hypoxia), maldevelopment (pulmonary vascular bed is abnormal from hypoplasia)

42
Q

Clinical findings of cyanotic congenital heart disease

A

Unrelieved by 100% O2

43
Q

Pathophys of cyanotic congenital heart disease

A

transposition of great vessels, truncus arteriosus (persistent), triscuspid atresia, tetralogy of Fallot, total anomalous pulmonary venous return

44
Q

Radiographic findings in cyanotic congenital heart disease

A

Heart is too big for ribcage

45
Q

Radiographic findings in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

A

Bowel seen above diaphragm

46
Q

Treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

A

Surgical repair once stable

47
Q

Radiographic findings in bronchopulmonary dysplasia

A

Distortion of pulmonary architecture, cystic space, interstitial fibrosis, hyperinflation, atelectasis

48
Q

Pathophys of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

A

Prolonged O2 requirement

49
Q

Treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

A

Gentle ventilation

50
Q

Radiographic findings of surfactant deficiency

Diffuse, “ground glass” or finely granular appearance, air bronchograms, hypoventilation

51
Q

A

1st 24 hours after birth

52

A

Severe maternal HTN, severe DM, placental abruption, abnormalities of fetal growth

Q

Pathophys of respiratory distress syndrome

A

Decreased synthesis, storage, release of surfactant by Type 2 pneumocytes: alveoli collapse easier -> hypoxia -> alveolar damage -> endothelial damage -> hyaline a/w developing PDA, intraventricular hemorrhage, NEC;
Corticosteroids increase surfactant formation;
Insulin decreases surfactant secretion
