Study Notes
Pediatrics - Key Concepts
-
3 Hs of Pediatric Codes: Hypoxia, Hypothermia, Hypoglycemia
-
Symptoms of Hypoxia: Difficulty eating, sternal retractions, nares flaring
-
Urinary Output: Infants/children should be 1-2 mL/kg/hr
-
Immunizations: Pre-immunization allergy checks (e.g., eggs for flu shot and MMR), ok with colds, HIV considerations (avoid certain live vaccines).
-
Varicella (Chickenpox): Viral disease causing itchy skin lesions, airborne precautions
-
Rubeola (Measles) and Rubella (German Measles): High contagious viral diseases, airborne precautions, measles characterised by rash, Koplik spots, and photophobia.
-
Pertussis (Whooping Cough): Infectious respiratory disease, droplet precautions
-
Neutropenic Precautions: Frequent handwashing, avoiding sick individuals, and potentially large crowds
-
Lead Poisoning: Assess for homes built before 1950's, blood levels >5 mcg/dL require follow-up
-
Otitis Media: Middle ear infection, feed upright/breastfeed, abx, tepid bath, position on affected side, possible tympanostomy tubes
-
Lice: Itchy scalp, red bumps; Use PPE (personal protective equipment), Wood's lamp, pediculicide shampoo, nit comb, daily clothes change
-
Impetigo: Red sores around nose/mouth, caused by bacteria, contact precautions, abx
-
Cleft Lip/Palate: Opening in mouth/lip, cleft lip repair 3-6 months, cleft palate 6-24 months, at risk for otitis/speech
-
Esophageal Atresia (TEF): Congenital abnormality, 3 C's (coughing, choking, cyanosis), NPO, IV fluids
-
Pyloric Stenosis: Swelling of pyloric muscle, forceful vomiting → dehydration, pyloromyotomy (surgery)
-
Intussusception: Telescoping of the intestine, abd pain, currant jelly stools, sausage-shaped mass, IV fluids, barium enema
-
Hirschsprung's Disease: Absence of ganglion cells, no meconium, distended abdomen, ribbon-like stools, bowel cleansing, surgery
-
Kawasaki Disease: Systemic vasculitis, strawberry tongue, rash, high fever, IVIG and aspirin
-
Reye Syndrome: Encephalopathy and hepatic dysfunction; caused by viral infection (flu or chickenpox) and aspirin use.
-
HIV: Children born from infected mothers should receive anti-retroviral treatment.
-
Sickle Cell Anemia: Main interventions include fluids and pain relief.
-
Leukemia: Cancer of blood/bone marrow, may cause epistaxis (bleeding from nose), gums overgrowth, increased WBCs, weakness
-
Hemophilia: X-linked recessive genetic bleeding disorder.
-
Von Willebrand Disease: Genetic bleeding disorder, low levels of von Willebrand factor.
-
Epiglottitis: Medical emergency, airway obstruction, do NOT examine throat, tripod position, airway maintenance, abx
-
Bronchiolitis: Respiratory virus, characterized by thick secretions, cough, rhinorrhea, congestion, tachypnea, wheezing, nasal suctioning
-
Cystic Fibrosis: Autosomal recessive disorder, thick secretions obstruct lungs, digestive system, recurrent respiratory infections, pancreatic enzymes
-
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Inability to meet body's needs for blood flow, daily weights and observing for symptoms (SOB, tachypnea, cyanosis, weight gain, edema).
-
Cyanotic Heart Disease: Decreased blood flow to the body, resulting in bluish discoloration; mixed blood pumped into systemic circulation.
-
Acyanotic Heart Disease: Increased pulmonary blood flow/blockage of blood vessels, no cyanosis
Increased ICP vs. Shock
-
Increased ICP: Increased blood pressure, decreased heart rate, enlarged head circumference.
-
Shock: Increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure.
Spina Bifida
- Neural tube defect, prevention: folic acid, symptoms range from dimple to sac on lumbar
Infant Feeding Regimen
