    Study Notes

    Neurological Conditions

    • Neurological conditions in children encompass various disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS), including altered consciousness levels, head injuries, brain tumors, meningitis, seizures, hydrocephalus, and intracranial infections.
    • Assessment of Cerebral Function involves observing spontaneous and elicited reflex responses in infants and young children. Children under 2 years often require specialized evaluations due to their inability to respond to instructions. Assessment includes developmental level, family and health history, and physical examination.
    • Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP) presents with early, subtle symptoms that become more pronounced as pressure rises, leading to decreased level of consciousness (LOC) deterioration. Early signs include irritability, restlessness, poor feeding, Macewen sign, high-pitched cry, tense/bulging fontanels, separated cranial sutures, setting-sun sign, distended scalp veins, and increased fronto-occipital circumference.
    • Clinical manifestations of increased ICP in children include headache, forceful vomiting, nausea, seizures, diplopia, blurred vision, indifference, drowsiness, decline in school performance, decreased activity, increased sleep, lethargy, and inability to follow simple commands. Later signs include bradycardia, decreased motor response to command, decreased sensory response to painful stimuli, alterations in pupil size and reactivity, papilledema, flexion or extension posturing, Cheyne-Stokes respirations, decreased consciousness, and coma.
    • Neurological examination includes vital signs, skin, eye function, motor function, posturing, and reflexes assessment.
    • Special diagnostic procedures for neurological conditions may involve laboratory tests (glucose, urea nitrogen, complete blood count (CBC,) electrolytes, blood culture, clotting studies, evaluation of toxic substances, liver function, urine toxicology screen, and blood lead levels), imaging (computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), lumbar puncture, and electroencephalogram (EEG).
    • Nursing Care of the Unconscious Child emphasizes emergency management involving airway patency, breathing, circulation, and reduction of ICP, treatment of shock, spine stabilization if needed. Assessments include LOC, pupillary reaction, vital signs, and abnormal movements. Frequency of assessments depend on the patient's condition, generally ranging from every 15 minutes to every 2 hours. Pain should also be assessed.
    • Respiratory Management during neurological emergencies prioritizes airway management to address hypoxia due to CO2 vasodilation and increased cerebral blood flow leading to increased ICP. Children may have minimal gag and cough reflexes, increasing the risk of aspiration.
    • ICP Monitoring involves certain situations, including a Glasgow Coma Scale of less than 8 (GCS), GCS greater than 8 with respiratory assistance, deterioration of condition, and subjective judgements regarding clinical appearance and response. The types of ICP monitors include intraventricular catheter, subarachnoid bolt (Richmond screw), epidural sensor, and anterior fontanel pressure monitor.
    • Additional nursing care for unconscious children includes appropriate nutrition and hydration, monitoring and managing altered pituitary secretions, and addressing related conditions like SIADH or diabetes insipidus. Thermoregulation, elimination, hygienic care, positioning, exercise, stimulation, regaining consciousness, and family support are also crucial elements.
    • Young children are particularly vulnerable to acceleration-deceleration injuries due to their larger head size and underdeveloped musculoskeletal support. Coup (bruising at site of impact) and contrecoup (bruising at a site far removed from the site of impact) are typical injuries from head trauma.
    • Concussions guidelines are available, and a concussion recognition tool can aid in identifying suspected concussions based on symptoms like headache, balance problems, nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light/noise, fatigue, emotional changes, neck pain, difficulty concentrating, difficulty remembering, feeling slowed down, feeling like "in a fog". Removal from activity and medical assessment are crucial when suspected concussions occur. Rowan's Law and other guidelines provide further details.
    • Traumatic head injury due to child maltreatment (THI-CM) is associated with lifelong complications. It previously was known as shaken baby syndrome. Children can experience neurological, visual, cognitive, behavioral, and sleep abnormalities and subdural hematoma, and retinal hemorrhages from abuse.
    • Types of brain hemorrhage include epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hemorrhage (illustrated in diagrams).
    • Therapeutic management of head injuries includes therapeutic management, concussion, cognitive and physical rest, hospital care for severe injuries, NPO initially, and possible surgical therapy if needed.
    • Submersion injuries involve hypoxia, asphyxiation, aspiration and hypothermia in addition to LOC, decreased cardiac output and cardiac arrest; and are a major cause of childhood accidental deaths. Children aged 1 to 4 years are the most at risk.
    • Brain tumors in children are the second most common solid tumor. Infratentorial tumors are 60% of brain tumors and occur below the tentorium cerebelli, most often located in the cerebellum or brainstem.
    • Neuroblastomas are the most common malignant extracranial solid tumors in childhood and often develop in the adrenal gland or retroperitoneal sympathetic chain. The tumors may sometimes have already metastasized before diagnosis.
    • Intracranial infections include limited response to injuries, difficulty differentiating etiologies based on clinical manifestations. Laboratory studies are necessary for accurate identification. Infections can involve meninges or brain tissues, with viral and bacterial causes possible.
    • Bacterial meningitis, an acute inflammation of the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and results in a decreased incidence since the introduction of Hib vaccines for children. Bacterial meningitis is considered a medical emergency. Examinations for meningitis include Kernig's sign and Brudzinski's sign.
    • Management of bacterial meningitis involves diagnostic evaluation (LP), isolation precautions, antimicrobial therapy, restricting hydration while maintaining ventilation and managing systemic shock, reducing ICP, controlling seizures and temperatures, treating complications, and supportive care including quiet environments, elevated head of bed (HOB), side-lying position, and monitoring pain.
    • Encephalitis is an inflammation of the CNS, characterized by altered brain and spinal cord functions. Variety of causative organisms are possible; however, viral causes are most common. Supportive treatment is standard, with observation in the hospital and possible ICP monitoring. Follow-up and rehabilitation are essential.
    • Reye syndrome (RS) is a disorder characterized by toxic encephalopathy associated with other organ involvement. RS is characterized by fever, significantly impaired consciousness, and disordered liver function. Most instances follow common viral infections.
    • Seizure disorders are caused by excessive and disorderly neuronal discharges in the brain. Seizure disorders are frequently caused by diverse brain pathologies and determined by their origins. Epilepsy, a neurological condition with two or more unprovoked seizures, is the most common type of seizure disorder. Optimal treatment and prognosis are contingent on correct diagnosis and determining the cause.
    • Seizure disorder etiologies include acute symptomatic (related to head trauma or meningitis), remote symptomatic (previous brain injury), cryptogenic (no identifiable cause), idiopathic (genetic origin), and stroke.
    • Therapeutic management for seizure disorders aims to control the frequency and severity of seizures and identify the cause. Management strategies include medication, ketogenic diet, vagus nerve stimulation, and surgical therapy, and treatment for status epilepticus. Prognosis involves sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), long-term care, and triggers of seizure activity.
    • Febrile seizures are disorders common during childhood, occurring in approximately 2-5% of children between ages 6 and 60 months. The cause of febrile seizures is not definitively known, however, tepid sponge baths are not recommended. These are often benign.
    • Cranial deformities result from suture and fontanel ossification during childhood development. Craniosynostosis occurs when some sutures prematurely fuse before ossification. Other conditions include Microcephaly and Positional Plagiocephaly.
    • Hydrocephalus results from an imbalance between the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leading to increased cranial pressure. It is caused by impaired absorption or obstruction within the subarachnoid space or ventricular system.
    • Hydrocephalus clinical manifestations include signs and symptoms of shunt infection, a high risk period is 1-2 months after shunt placement. Infections can include, but are not limited to Septicemia, Bacterial endocarditis, Wound infection, Shunt nephritis, and Meningitis. The treatments include massive-dose antibiotics or shunt removal.
