    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.
