Q

Cleft Lip/Palate: Risk factors

A
  • Genetics play a role
  • Envt Factors: meds (anti seiz), maternal (smoking,etoh), infection, deficiency of folic acid
  • if normal parents have child w cleft, risk of 2nd child having cleft is 3-5%

Q

Cleft: Surgical Mgmt

A

-Cleft Lip: 1-3 months
weight gain, no infection, child needs to be healthy weigh with no infections before Sx.

-Cleft Palate: 12-18mos
wait longer because child is stronger and speech is beginning to start.

20
Q

Dehydration - NI

A
  • I+O
  • Monitor PO, parenteral, wound, or NGT drainage, urine, stools
  • in pedes, weigh wet diapers (ml = g, 75g = 75ml)
21
Q

Wet Diapers weight

A

22
Q

Diarrhea & Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu)

A

Disturbance of intestinal motility. Gastroenteritis is when D caused by inflammatory process like infection.

  • UP frequency, fluid content, volume
  • Types: Acute/Chronic
  • Infectious/Non Infectious
23
Q

Gastroenteritis

A
  • Inflammation of mucous membrane lining of stomach and intestine
  • CAUSE: Virus/bacteria
  • Diarrhea –> Dehydration
24
Q

Gastroenteritis: MM

A
  • oral rehydration (immed after onset of loose stool)
  • test stool: culture, c diff., O+P
  • liquid (first 24) –> reg diet –> modified BRAT when # and content of stool DECREASES
  • 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
  • Upper GI Series
  • 2 tests w reveal thick pyloris. so thick nothing can leave tummy
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)?
-emotional support

37

A
  • telescoping intestines
  • cause: unknown
  • more common males (3mos - 6yrs)

38
Q

Intussusception S/S

A
  • severe acute abd pain
  • fetal position
  • **currant jelly stools (mucous/blood) (from irritation rubbing intestine mucous membrane)
  • vomit/lethargy
39
Q

Intussusception: Dx

A
  • Clinical presentation
  • Barium Enema (diagnose/treat)
  • Abd Xray
  • DRE, digital rectal exam
  • US
  • CT Scan
40
Q

Intussusception: Rx

A
  • IV
  • NGT (let intestines relax)
  • *Barium/Air Enema (forces reverse obstruction)
  • Sx: manual reduction and/or resection
41
Q

Hirschsprung’s Disease (Megacolon)

A
  • congenital defect (born w it)
  • Cause: Absence of parasympathetic nerve in portion of colon
  • Intestinal obstruction
  • Affects LI
  • peristalsis stops at spots w missing nerve cells. blockage forms
42

  • Colon Biopsy
44
Q

Hirschsprung’s Disease (Megacolon): MM

A
  • pull through surgery (2 steps)
    1) perform colostomy (stoma)
    2) remove affected colon segment
    3) normal intestine then pulled down to anus.
45
