semishi Flashcards
sign resulting from the disturbances in the dynamics of CSF
Hydrocephalus
buildup of fluid in cavities called ventricles deep within the brain.
fluid increases the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain
Hydrocephalus
Three Factors that Influence the clinical picture in hydrocephalus
- Acuity of onset
- Timing of onset
- Associated structural malformation.
Preterm infant with hydrocephalus is high risk for
Intraventricular hemorrhage
Diagnostic Evaluation: Hydrocephalus
Fetal ultrasound
CT-scan or MRI
HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE other term
Congenital Aganglionic Megacolon
mechanical obstruction
from inadequate motility of part of the intestine
HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE
CAUSES : HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEAS
Absence of ganglion cells
in HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEAS, the patient has a failure to pass meconium on within ___of life
48 hours
midline defects of the spinal cord involving the failure of the osseous (bony) spine to close
SPINA BIFIDA
two categories of Spina Bifida
Spina Bifida Occulta
Spina Bifida Cystica
defect that is not visible externally
Spina Bifida Occulta
occurs most commonly in the lumbosacral area
not apparent unless there are neuromuscular
disturbances
Spina Bifida Occulta
visible defects with an external saclike
protrusion
Spina Bifida Cystica
encases meninges and
spinal fluid but no neural elements
Meningocele
which contains meninges, spinal fluid and nerves
Myelomeningocele
Nutritional deficiencies such as before in the early stages of pregnancy is a significant factor in hirschprung disease
folic acid and vitamin A
acute inflammation of the meninges and CSF
BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
Bacterial meningitis caused by what bacteria
Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) bacteria
neck is drawn into extreme overextension
opisthotonos
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION: BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
lumbar puncture
three-dimensional
wound and is also assessed in relation to the depth of injury.
Thermal injury
are classified as superficial wounds which are
usually of minor significance.
First Degree Burns
First Degree Burns heals within
7 days without scarring
Mild sunburn
is an example of a
superficial first-degree burn
partial thickness injuries involve the epidermis and
varying degrees of the dermis. Sweat glands and
hair follicles are intact
Second Degree Burns
Second Degree Burns d should heal in how many days
14 days with variable
amount of scarring
The wound is extremely
sensitive to temperature changes, exposure to air,
and light touch. What degree of burn is indicated
Second Degree Burns
injuries that involve the entire epidermis,
serious injury and dermis and extend into
subcutaneous tissue.
Third Degree
a patient stated lack sensation in
the area of injury because of the destruction of the
nerve endings. what degree of burn is it
Third Degree: or full-thickness burns
full-thickness injuries and involve underlying structures such as muscles, fascia and bone
Fourth Degree Burns
require the services and facilities of a
specialized burn center
Major burn
e treated in the hospital with expertise in burn care
- Moderate burn
Types of Cerebral Palsy
Spactic type
Dyskinetic/Athetoid type
Ataxic Type
Mixed Type
Excessive tone in the voluntary muscle that results
in less of upper motor neurons
Spactic type
abnormally involuntary movement
Dyskinetic/Athetoid type
unable to perform the finger to nose test or to perform rapid repetitive movements or fine
coordinated motions
what type of palsy is this shit
Ataxic Type
- decreased muscle tone
Hypothomia
these are released that result in diffuse and restrictive airway disease because of trade of
inflammation
histamine and leukotrienes
indicative color for asthmatic patients
cyanosis
in ashtma, expiration phase is longer than inspiration phase. TRUE/FALSE
TRUE
inhaled anti infla-corticosteroid
fluticasone
for moderate persistent symptoms
long acting bronchodilator at bedtime with inhaled
anti inflammatory daily corticosteroid
mast cell stabilizer
cromolyn sodium
in asthmatic patients, what are elevated or increased
Eosinophil
PCO2 Increase
what are decreased in asthmastic patients during dt
Arterial O2 Saturation
Peak Flow Meter
Most occurring type of cancer in children
LEUKEMIA
what organ enlarges during leukemia
Spleen and liver
THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT: Leukemia
Steroid Therapy
Intensification or vasodilator therapy
CNS prophylactic therapy
Uti bacteria:
(E.coli & gram negative)
called Atopic/allergic
asthma. An “allergen” or an “antigen” is a foreign particle which enters the body
Extrinsic Asthma
non-allergic
asthma, is not allergy-related, in fact it is caused by anything except an allergy. It may be caused by inhalation of chemicals
. Intrinsic asthma
measuring the movement of air in and out of the lung after the patient takes the deepest breath.
Spiromer
reveals the increase eosinophil
reveals the increase eosinophil
may identify specific allergens in ashtma
Skin testing
- reveal airway obstruction and decrease peak expiration flow rate in asthma
Pulmonary function test
may detect hypoxemia in asthma
Atrial blood gas (ABG
a bacterial infection of the kidneys
due to ascending of bacteria from bladder up to ureters
Pyelonephritis
Noncommunicating hyrocehpa indicates
Obstruction of the system
Communicating hydrocepha indicates
Failure in the absorption system: cause unknown
➢ Excessive production of CS
