WEEK 11 Lecture Flashcards
When do you give “eye prophylaxis” and what is it?
Give 1 hr after delivery
prevents Chlamydia and Gonorrhea
What medication do you give for eyes?
0.5% erythromycin ophthalmic
1% tetracycline
When do you give “thighs” prophylaxis and what is it?
1-6hrs after delivery
prevents brain bleed or intestine bleed
ALL newborns have low vit K levels at birth
What medication do you give for thighs?
IM injection of VIT K
VIT K does NOT cross the placenta and is NOT available in breastmilk
Gonorrhea occurs how soon after delivery?
first 5 days
significant inflammation
corneal involvement
lead to blindness from rupture
Chlamydia occurs how soon after delivery?
5 day - 5 weeks
neonatal conjunctivitis has little sx except drainage
* can lead to pneumonia* cough, fever, tachypnea
HEP B
first 24hrs of life
*if mom has hep b the newborn has a 90% chance of getting HEP B
Mom HEP B -
Hep B vax within 24hrs UNLESS the newborn is <2,000 grams aka 4lbs 4 oz
if <2000 grams, administer at 1 month or until above that weight
Mom HEP B +
Hep B vaccine and immunoglobulin
Metabolic Disorder Screening
35 core screenings
26 secondary screenings
MANDATORY universal screening for rare disorders
How do you perform the metabolic disorder screeening?
heel prick 24-48hrs of live
Screening techniques
Wipe away the first drop of blood! Circles on the card need to be filled COMPLETELY.
Air dry the card for 4 hrs and 1-2 weeks for results to come back
Factors that affect screening
before 24hrs
abx
transfusion
not eating enough
non-adequate sample
Which 2 screening results require immediate treatment?
Galactosemia
Maple Syrup Urine Disease
every other result needs to be re-confirmed
Galactosemia
rare autosomal recessive disorder
cannot metabolize
Maple Syrup Urine
rare inherited metabolic disorder autorecessive
cannot metabolize amino acids
Glucose screening: what newborns are at risk? MATERNAL FACTORS
Born to mothers who were diabetic or have GD
Preeclampsia/HTN
substances (tocolytics)
received glucose
Which newborns are at risK? NEWBORN FACTORS
pre-mature (esp late preterm 34-37
LGA/SGA
HIE or injury at birth
sepsis
congenital heart defect
metabolic disorders
S/s of hypoglycemia
irritability
LOC changes
tremors
lethargy
high pitched cries
respiratory distress
feeding difficulty
hypotonia
seizures
Do you test all babies for glucose screen?
NO glucose is 70% of the maternal value
low as 25
RF or signs of glucose issues (symptomatic)
screening is required!
Symptomatic and BS <40
give IV glucose
Asymptomatic birth-4hrs
early and frequent feedings
feed within 1 hr
screen 30 min later
Asymptomatic birth 4-24hrs
feeds every 2-3 hrs and screen prior to each feed
target glucose screen
> 45 or higher before feeds
Jaundice screen
ALL newborns university screened
*if they are d/c prior to 72 hrs follow up with PCP 1-2 days
Further down the body the higher the level of bilirubin? T/F?
TRUE. starts at head to toes, more it spreads the more there is
what causes jaundice?
insufficient oral intake
tongue tied
mom’s milk has not come in yet
fam hx “did a sibling have hyperbilirubinemia?”
Hearing screening
hearing loss is the most common disorder at birth
*newborn must be sleeping
2 test of hearing screening?
Otoacustic emission test and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response
Otoacoustic emission teset
measuring sound waves produced in the inner ear, clicking sounds
Automated Auditory Brainstem
electrodes on head measures brains response to sound
Why do newborns sometimes lack hearing if they are delierved via C-section?
do not pass the hearing screen bc they don’t have pressure from being squeezed out of the vaginal canal
what if they don’t pass and are being d/c’d?
re-screened at 3 MONTHS
goal is to prevent speech/language delays
Congenital Heart Disease Screening
When the umbilical chord is clamped, the arteries and veins constrict and systemic vascular resistance is greater than pulmonary vascular resistance
closure of 3 main fetal shunts
ductus venosus
foreman ovale
ductus arteriosus
Screening for Congenital Heart Disease
at least 24hrs after delivery
done by pulse OX
RIGHT HAND
EITHER FOOT R/L
Pulse oxygen screening
both >95%
difference between hand and foot <3%
test both at the same time
*MUST BE >24hr after delivery!!!!!!!!!
Caregivers for newborns?
influenza and TDAP vaccines need to be up-to-date
can feedings go in the microwave? formula/breastmilks?
NO
NO BM for 7-10 days?
normal
Normal bowel and bladder?
sleeping position?
back to sleep
safety?
pre-mature infants
car seat fit test
Newborn d/c criteria
stable VS
-axillary 97.7-99.0
RR <60
HR 80-180 bmp
