  • monitor I+O
25
Q

Gastroespophageal Reflux (GERD)

A
  • effortless regurgitation of gastric contents into esophagus
  • begins 1wk after birth. Most common cause of vomiting in infants. Seen immediately after feeding or if baby lays down.
26
Q

Gastroespophageal Reflux (GERD): Cause

A
  • incompetent LES

- gastric contents flow backwards into esophagus

27
Q

Gastroespophageal Reflux (GERD): S/S

A
  • V or spitting up
  • Aspiration –> respiratory signs
  • cough, wheeze, recurrent PNA (older children)
  • growth, weight gain abnormalities
28
Q

GERD:MM

A
  • small freq feedings
  • thickened w infant cereal
  • breast milk manually expelled and thickened w infant cereal. (Don’t breasfeed directly)
29
Q

GERD:MM more

A
  • Prone position. Head up 30*. (prevent aspiration)
  • MEDS: H2 Antagonist (pepsid, zantac, tagamat, LO acid in stomach)
  • MEDS: Reglan, Anti Emetic, N. Speeds up gastric emptying.
  • Sx: Nissen Fundoplication
30
Q

Nissen Fundoplication

A
  • Fundus of stomach wrapped around back of esophagus

- create 1-way valve in esophagus allowing food to pass into stomach. (squeezing it tight, not really a valve)

31
Q

Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

A
  • Gastric outlet obstruction. (blockage in stomach)
  • Cause: congenital hypertrophied pyloric muscle
  • 1/250 births
  • more males
32
Q

Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: Dx test

A
  • US

33
Q

Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: S/S

A
  • Regurgitation –> projectile vomit
  • Hunger
  • Dehydration
  • weight loss
  • Palpable Olive shape mass, RT of umbilicus
  • visible gastric peristaltic waves
34
Q

Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis: Sx

A
  • Fredt-Ramstedt Procedure: cut pyloric sphincter then re-suture
  • creates larger lumen
  • aka Pyloromyotomy
35
Q

Pyloromyotomy: Pre Op

A
  • NPO
  • IV Fluid
  • I/O
  • Emotional support
36
Q

Pyloromyotomy: Post Op

A

-I/O
-Start oral feeds: 4-6hrs post op
?-full feed start after 24hrs (1st feed, Glucose H2O –> after 24hr advanced diet (formula/mik)?

40
Q

Intussusception: Rx

A
  • IV
  • NGT (let intestines relax)
