Shock Flashcards
position to place child in if they are hypotensive and breathign isn’t compromised
Trendelenburg (supine, head 30 degrees below feet)
position to place child in if they are hypotensive and breathign isn’t compromised
Trendelenburg (supine, head 30 degrees below feet)
fluid resuscitation for shock
isotonic crystalloid in 20 mL/kg bolus over 5-20 minutes
fluid resuscitation for cardiogenic shock
5-10 ml/kg over 10-20 inutes
what does acidosis do to serum potassium concentration
increases
what can caused decreased ionized calcium concentration
sepsis, transfusion of blood products
most children with cardiogenic shock benefit form a _______ to decrease SVR and increase CO and tissue perfusion
vasodilator (provided BP is adequate)
what are the 3 inotropes? They increase cardiac contractility, HR, and variable on SVR
dopamine, epinephrine, dobutamine
this class of drugs decreases SVR, improves coronary artery blood flow and improves contractility
phosphodiesterase inhibitors (milrinone, inamrinone)
2 vasodilators that decreases SVR and venosu tone
nitroglycerin, nitroprusside
4 drugs that are vasopressors (increase SVR and myocardial contractility)
epinephrine
norepi
dopamine
vasopressin (doesn’t increase myocardiac contractility)
what are 2 isotonic crystalloid solutions
normal saline (NS) or lactated Ringer’s (LR)
where are isotonic crystalloids distributed
throughout the extracellular space (may need a large volume to restore intravascular volume fo rchildren)
what are colloid solutions
5% albumin, fresh frozen plasma, synthestic plasma expander (hetastarch), dextran40 and dextran 60
are colloid or isotonic crystalloid solutions better volume expanders
colloid solutions
disadvantages of colloids
less available, take time to prepare, blood derived can cause sensitivity reactions
when should blood products be considered
perfusion inadequate despite 2-3 boluses of 20mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid. then administer 10 mL/kg PRBCs ASAP
order of preference for blood products
crossmatched
type specific
type ) neg
this is present in stored blood and inadquate clearance of it can cause ionized hypocalcemia
citrate
if a patient becomes hypotensive during a rapid blood transfusion what shoudl be administered?
calcium
hypoglycemia in neonates
hypoglycemia in infants, children, adolescents
tx of hypoglycemia if you can’t administer glucose orally
IV glucose at 0.5-1 g/kg (IV dextrose as D25 (2-4mL/kg) of D10W (5-10 mL/kg)
type of dehydration where patients presents with poor skin turgor, marked oliguira, tachycardia, quiet tachypnea, sunken fontanel
moderate (10% in infants, 5-6% in adolescent)
