SM 166 Congenital and Pediatric Disorders Flashcards
What is Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia?
Term given to infants who had RDS and still require 30% FiO2 at 36 weeks post-menstrual age if < 32 weeks gestational age or at 56 days of life if > 32 weeks gestational age
How are Tracheo-bronchomalacia and Laryngomalacia differentiated?
The sounds they make
How does Laryngomalacia present?
Stridor, Omega shaped Epiglottis and prolapsed arytenoids
How are pulmonary arteriovenous malformations treated?
Embolization, to block off the abnormal connection
What are factors that decrease the risk of VPD?
Ventilation management, antenatal steroids to mother prior to delivery, surfactant therapy
How does Tracheo-bronchomalacia present?
Noisy breathing, but not stridor
How do pulmonary arteriovenous malformations present?
Pulmonary hemorrhage or hemoptysis
What causes rings and slings?
A developmental abnormality of the aortic arch that leads to compression of the esophagus and trachea, either partial (sling) or completely (ring)
How is lobar emphysema treated?
Like all 3 congenital parenchymal abnormalities, with surgery
When does the Pseudoglandular Stage occur?
6 - 16 weeks
Are pulmonary sequestrations intralobar or extralobar?
Intralobar > extralobar, but both are possible
When does the Canalicular Stage occur?
16 - 26 weeks
Which lobe is most effected by extralobar pulmonary sequestration?
The Left Lower Lobe
How is pulmonary sequestration treated?
Like all 3 congenital parenchymal abnormalities, with surgery
How do the causes of intralobar and extralobar pulmonary sequestration compare?
Both can be congenital, but intralobar may also be acquired
Are males or females more effected by extralobar pulmonary sequestration?
Males
What is congenital lobar emphysema?
Overinflation and distension of one or more pulmonary lobes
How is pulmonary sequestration diagnosed?
Like all 3 congenital parenchymal abnormalities, with radiographic evaluation
What occurs during the Alveolar stage
Alveoli continue to mature and develop
How can a ring or a sling be seen on CXR?
Indentation or “grooves” in the esophagus
What causes congenital lobar emphysema?
Intrinsic or extrinsic bronchial narrowing leading to air trapping
Does the Canalicular Stage have surfactant?
No, the Type II Pneumocytes have not differentiated
What are factors that increase the risk of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia?
Low birth weight, low gestational age, ventilation
What causes intralobar pulmonary sequestration?
May be congenital or due to bronchial obstruction in older patients
When does the Alveolar Stage occur?
36 weeks onward
