Study Notes

Cerebral Palsy

  • Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of motor conditions causing physical disability in development, primarily affecting body movement.
  • It's caused by damage to the developing brain.
  • Damage can happen before birth, during birth, within a month after birth, or during the first years of a child's life.

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Premature birth, where the brain isn't fully developed.
  • Exposure of the mother to certain viruses during pregnancy.
  • Improper development of the child's brain during pregnancy.
  • Lack of oxygen supply to the brain during delivery.
  • Disruption of blood supply to the developing brain (fetal stroke).
  • Infant infections.
  • Head injury to an infant.

Symptoms and Signs of CP

  • Lack of muscle control.
  • Diminished coordination.
  • Difficulty speaking clearly.
  • Cognitive deficits.
  • Seizures (approximately 30% of cases).
  • Problems with chewing and swallowing.

Developmental Milestones

  • Developmental milestones in children with CP vary from child to child.
  • Examples include:
    • Holding head upright (3-4 months).
    • Sitting (6-9 months).
    • Standing (10-12 months).
    • Walking (11-15 months).

Types of Cerebral Palsy

  • There are five main types:
    • Spastic CP (most common, affects about 80%). Subtypes include diplegia/diparesis (muscle stiffness mainly in legs), hemiplegia/hemiparesis (affects one side of the body, usually arm more affected than leg), and quadriplegia/quadriparesis (most severe, affects all four limbs, trunk, and face).
    • Dyskinetic CP (problems controlling movement of hands, arms, feet, and legs, making sitting and walking difficult; affects face and tongue, impacting sucking, swallowing, and talking).
    • Ataxic CP (problems with balance and coordination; unsteady gait, difficulty with quick movements).
    • Hypotonic CP (where muscles are "floppy").
    • Mixed CP (most common type is spastic-dyskinetic).

Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy

  • Early signs include delays in reaching motor milestones (rolling over, sitting, standing, walking).
  • Diagnostic tools may include brain scans (MRI), EEG (to check for epilepsy), and other tests for impairments and developmental delays.

Complications of Cerebral Palsy

  • Spasticity and muscle stiffness.
  • Atrophy.
  • Choking.
  • Aspiration pneumonia.
  • Pressure ulcers.
  • Bladder infections.
  • Constipation.

Respiratory Diseases in Pediatrics

  • Respiratory diseases in children range from genetic conditions to infections and viruses.
  • Issues may include congenital problems requiring lifelong treatment (like asthma or cystic fibrosis) or infections from viruses or bacteria (like bronchiolitis).

Symptoms of Respiratory Disorders

  • Coughing.
  • Runny or blocked nose.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Altered breathing patterns.
  • Wheezing.
  • Stridor (high-pitched squeaking noise during breathing).

Respiratory Disorders in Infants

  • Infants are particularly susceptible to respiratory infections due to smaller lungs and airways.
  • Common respiratory conditions in infants may include croup, whooping cough, asthma, bronchiolitis, and cystic fibrosis.

Respiratory Disorders in Children

  • Asthma.
  • Cystic fibrosis.
  • Hyperventilation syndrome.
  • Neurological and developmental problems.
  • Chest infections.
  • Pneumonia.
  • Tetraplegia.

Asthma

  • A chronic inflammatory disorder obstructing airways.
  • Irritants like dust, allergens, cold air , allergies, and smoke can trigger inflammation.

Bronchiectasis

  • Abnormal, permanent dilation of airways in the lungs (bronchi, alveoli).
  • Difficulty effectively clearing secretions from the lungs, leading to frequent infections.

Cystic Fibrosis

  • Genetic defect affecting all mucosal epithelial cell walls around the body.
  • Negatively impacting normal function in the sinuses, intestines, pancreas, and liver.

Emphysema

  • Lung condition affecting the structural integrity of respiratory tract cell walls.
  • A key component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Respiratory Failure

  • Occurs when the exchange of gases in the lungs is ineffective.
  • Can be chronic (over days/weeks) or acute (over minutes), depending on the cause.

Symptoms of Respiratory Failure

  • Difficulty breathing/shortness of breath.
  • Restlessness.
  • Cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin, lips, and fingernail beds).
  • Irregular heartbeat.
  • Anxiety.
  • Confusion/difficulty concentrating.
  • Excessive tiredness.
  • Seizures.
  • Coma (in severe cases).

Types of Respiratory Failure

  • Hypoxemic (type I): Low arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) with normal/low carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2). Often associated with lung diseases involving fluid filling or collapse of air sacs. Examples include cardiogenic or noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, pneumonia, pulmonary hemorrhage.
  • Hypercapnic (type II): High arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and often associated with drug overdose, neuromuscular disease, chest wall abnormalities.

Chest Physiotherapy in Children

  • Chest physiotherapy involves managing breathlessness, using positioning, breathing exercises, manual hyperinflation techniques, and cough augmentation techniques. Methodologies can involve intubated vs. non-intubated patients, CPAP, HFNC and NIV.
