SM_166a: Congenital and Pediatric Disorders Flashcards
What are the five phases of development?
- Embryonic
- Pseudoglandular
- Canalicular
- Saccular
- Alveolar
Embyronic stage of development is during ____ and involves _____
Embyronic stage of development is during first 1-3 weeks of gestation and involves formation of the airways as an outpouching of the foregut
Pseudoglandular stage of development is during ______ and involves ______
Pseudoglandular stage is during weeks 6-16 and involves airways reaching the level of terminal bronchioles and the beginning of formation of the acinar structure
Canalicular stage of development is during ______ and involves ______
Canalicular stage of development is during weeks 16-26 and involves epithelium differentiating into type I and II alveolar cells and beginning of surfactant production
Saccular stage of development is during ______ and involves ______
Saccular stage of development is during weeks 24-36 and involves further development of capillaries and increased production of surfactant
Alveolar stage of development is during ______ and involves ______
Alveolar stage of development is during weeks 36 to after birth and involves development of alveoli and increased production of surfactant
Respiratory distress syndrome is diagnosed via _____ and ______
Respiratory distress syndrome is diagnosed via progressive respiratory failure and characteristic chest radiograph demonstrating low lung volume and diffuse reticulogranular ground-glass appearance with air bronchograms
(diffuse white stuff in lungs on X-ray)
Respiratory distress syndrome is most often seen in ________
Respiratory distress syndrome is most often seen in premature infants
Respiratory distress syndrome results from ________
Respiratory distress syndrome results from inadequate production of surfactant, which causes increased surface tension in the air-liquid interface of the terminal respiratory units
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (chronic lung disease of infancy) is a term given to _______
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (chronic lung disease of infancy) is a term given to infants with RDS who develop long-term abnormalities of the airway and parenchyma
If an infant is on oxygen at day 28, that infant has ________
If an infant is on oxygen at day 28, that infant has bronchopulmonary dysplasia (chronic lung disease of infancy)
Gestational age is _______, while post-menstrual age is _______
Gestational age is number of weeks patient was in uterus, while post-menstrual age is total number of weeks patient was in uterus and outside the uterus
Which factors increase the risk of BPD?
- Lower gestational age
- Lower birth weight
- Maternal or neonatal infections
- Positive pressure ventilation
- Oxygen toxicity
Which factors decrease the risk of BPD?
- Antenatal steroids given to mother before delivery
- Surfactant therapy for infant
- Nutritional support and ventilator management
Antenatal steroids ___________, decreasing RDS, morbidity and mortality from premature births
Antenatal steroids accelerate morphologic development of type 1 and 2 pneumocytes, decreasing RDS, morbidity and mortality from premature births
Antenatal steroids are recommended for ________
Antenatal steroids are recommended for women at risk of preterm delivery prior to 34 weeks gestation
Surfactant delivery into lungs ______ incidence and severity of RDS, mortality, and associated complications
Surfactant delivery into lungs decreases incidence and severity of RDS, mortality, and associated complications

- Laryngomalacia
- Tracheo-bronchomalacia
- Tracheoesophageal fistula

Tracheo-bronchomalacia
- Presentation:
- Etiology:
- Diagnosis:
- Treatment:
Tracheo-bronchomalacia
- Presentation: noisy breathing
