Purple-problem, little or no CO2 detected
Tan - think about a problem
Yellow-yes, CO is detected and tube is in trachea

26
Q

Types of shock

A

Compensated shock: poor perfusion exists without a decrease in BP
Hypovolemic: most common in children, perfusion decreses and a result of inadequate vascular volume. Vomit, diarrhea, diuretics, heat stroke, blood loss from injury, burns third spacing

Septic: systemic inflammation

Cardiogenic: ineffective pump, the heart, decrease in stroke volume. Heart defects

Distributive: loss in the SVT. neurogenic, anaphylaxis,

Toxic ingestions

27
Q

S&S of shock

A

Respiratory distress, grunting, gasping, nasal flaring, tachypnea, increased work of breathing, dark cool extremities, Decreased elasticity, decreased urinary output. Always evaluate the ABCs, initiate CPR if pulseless, 100% O2 via mask

Vascular access
Peripheral IV, cental IV, saphenous vein, intraosseous
Restore fluid volume with isotonic (RL, NS). DO NOT USE DEXTROSE SOLUTIONS > osmotic diuresis, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, ischemic brain injury. Fluid is replaced quickly 100-200ml/kg in initial hours. Goal urine output is 1-2ml/kg/hour

28
Q

Repiratory arrest in children

A

Upper airway causes: Burnings, croup, epiglottitis, foreign body aspiration, reflux, strangulation, tracheomalacia, vascular ring

Respiratory failure leads to cardiopulmonary arrest. Children are at greater risk than adults because they have smaller airways and underdeveloped immune system, the diminished ability to combat serious respiratory illnesses. They lack coordination, they are susceptible to choking on food and objects, SIDS.

29
Q

Emergency treatment for respiratory distress

A

Maintain a patent airway (jaw thrust), provide supplemental oxygen, monitor for changes, assist with ventilation and or intubation, offer support to Child and family.

1 breath every 3-5 seconds, 12-20 per minute

30
Q

Toxic ingestion

A

If a child deteriorates quickly without a known cause, suspect toxic ingestion.

ABCs, supportive care, gastric lavage, bowel irrigation, dialysis, charcoal (not for iron overdose)

31
Q

Respiratory distress syndrome

A

From a lack of alveolar surfactant and immaturity of the respiratory control center. Premature birth is a risk factor. Grunting, nasil flaring, retractions, seesaw respirations, cyanosis, tachycardia over 150 to 180, crackles, tachypnea over 60, x-rays show ground glass.

Silverman-Anderson 10 is most critical

Before 37 weeks. Respiratory distress syndrome. Periventricular or intraventricular hemorrhage. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Retinopathy of prematurity. Hyperbilirubinemia, anemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypoglycemia, mental and motor delays

36
Q

Perinatal asphyxia

A

Newborn fails to establish adequate sustained respirations afterbirth. It results in hypoxia, hypercarbia, in metabolic acidosis.
Early ID is a must. review prenatal hx. Immediate resusciatation is a must. Resuscitate for 10 minutes. Continue until pulse > 100, good cry, good breathing, pink tongue (O2 to brain).

Therapeutic hypothermia may help perinatal encephalopathy after asphyxia.

Neutral thermo
Rest to decrease energy

38
Q

Neonatal abstinence syndrome

A

Tremors, regurgitation, shrills, high-pitched cry

Cocaine: fussy, irritable, inconsolable, poor suck and swallow

Trt: provide comfort, relieve symptoms, improve feeding and weight gain, prevent seizures, promote mom interactions, reduce mortality and abnormal development

39
Q

Necrotizing enterocolitis

A

Enteral antibiotics, parenteral fluids, milk feedings, corticosteroids, probiotics, slow drip feedings.

S&S: BILIOUS VOMITTING Feeding intolerance, abdominal distention, bloody stools, septic shock, diarrhea, temp instability, lethargy, apnea, hypotesnion,

Trt: bowel rest, antibiotics, possible ostomy, gastric decompression,

40
Q

Ketamine (special K, Vitamin K, superacid): separates perception and sensation, fatal with other drugs

46
Q

PTSD

A

Intrusion is reexperiencing the trauma, nightmares, flashbacks, recurrent thoughts.

Avoidance avoiding the trauma stimuli, social withdrawal, emotional numbing.

Hyperarousal increased emotional arousal, exaggerated startle response, irritable.

Symptoms usually start within three months and must last longer than 1 month

47
Q

Risk factors for intimate partner violence in men

A

Individual factors: young, heavy drinker, personality disorder, depression, low academics, seeing or experiencing violence as a child
