Chapter 25 Children: Infancy through Adolescence Techniques o examinaon o Inans and young children ▪ perorm non disurbing maneuvers early and poenally disressing maneuvers oward he end. For example, palpae he head and neck and ausculae he hear and lungs early; Examine he ears and mouh and palpae he abdomen near he end. I he child repors pain in he area examine ha par las. ▪ Approached he inan gradually, using a oy or objec or disracon. ▪ Perorm as much o he examinaon as possible wih he inan in he parens lap. ▪ Speak soly o he inan or mimic he inan sounds o arac aenon. ▪ I he inan is cranky, make sure he or she is well ed beore proceeding. ▪ Ask a paren abou he inan srengh o elici useul developmenal and parenng inormaon. ▪ Do no expec o do head o oe examinaon in a specic order. Work wih wha he inan gives you and save he mouh and ear examinaon or las. o Older children and adolescens ▪ use he same sequence as wih aduls, excep examine he mos painul areas las. o Apgar score ▪ Score each newborn according o he able a one and ve minues aer birh according o hree poin scale. ▪ i he ve minue score is eigh or more, proceed o a more complee examinaon. o Gesaonal age and birh weigh ▪ classiy newborns according o heir gesaonal age and birh weigh. o Assessmens several hours aer birh ▪ during he rs day o lie, newborn should have a comprehensive examinaon.

Causes can be environmenal or psychosocial or various gasroinesnal, neurological, cardiac, Endocrine, renal, or oher diseases. ▪ measures above he 97h or below he hird percenle, or recen rises or alls rom prior levels, require invesgaon. o Heigh and weigh ▪ reduced growh in heigh may indicae endocrine disease, oher causes o shor saure, or, i weigh is also low oher chronic diseases. o Head circumerence ▪ premaure closure o he suures or microcephaly may cause small head size. Hydrocephalus, subdural hemaoma, or rarely brain umor or inheried syndromes may cause an abnormal large head size. o Vial signs ▪ blood pressure ▪ measure blood pressure a leas once during inancy. Alhough he handheld mehod is shown he mos easily used measure o sysolic blood pressure and inans in young child is o obain wih Doppler mehod. ▪ Pulse ▪ he hear rae is quie variable and will increase markedly wih exciemen, crying, or anxiey. Thereore measure he pulse when he inan or child is quie. ▪ Tachycardia is greaer han 180 o 200 beas per minue, usually indicaes proxamol super venricular achycardia. Bradycardia may righ From serious underlying disease. ▪ ▪ ▪ Respiraory rae ▪ he respiraory rae has a very wide range and is more responsive o illness, exercise, and emoon han aduls. ▪ Respiraory disease such as bronchiolis or pneumonia may cause rapid respiraons up o 80 o 90 breahs per minue, and increase work o breahing period peaceul achypnea, wihou increased work o breahing, may be a sign o cardiac ailure. ▪ Temperaure ▪ body emperaure and inans and children is less consisen han aduls. Recal emperaures are he mos accurae or inerence. The average recal emperaure is higher in inancy and early childhood, usually above 99 degrees Fahrenhei unl aer age hree. ▪ Skin ▪ Texure and appearance, vasomoor changes, pigmenaon, hair, common skin condions, color, urgor. ▪ Head ▪ examine suures and onanels careully. The inerior onanel a birh measures 4 o 6 cenmeers in diameer and will close by 18 o 22 monhs o age. The poserior onanelle measures 1 o 2 cenmeers a birh and usually close This is by wo monhs. ▪ Palpae he inan skull wih care period he cranial bones generally appear so or palpable. They will normally become rmer wih increasing gesaonal age. ▪ Swelling rom subperioseal hemorrhage does no cross suure lines; Swelling rom bleeding associaed wih racure does. ▪ Check he ace rs symmery. Examine or an overall impression o he acies. comparing wih he aces o he parens is helpul. ▪ Abnormal acis occur in a child wih a consellaon o acial eaures ha appear abnormal. A variey o syndromes can cause a normal asces. Examples include Down syndrome and eal alcohol syndrome. ▪ Eyes ▪ newborns and young inans may look a your ace and ollow a brigh ligh i you cach hem while aler. For ha ophhalmoscope examinaon wih he newborn awake and eyes open, examine he red renal reex by seng up Dallas cope a 0 diopers and viewing he people rom abou 10 inches. ▪ Nysagmus, srabismus ▪ Leukocoria-is a whie papillary reex, insead o he normal red papillary reex. I can be a sign o a rare umor called renoblasoma. ▪ Papilledema-is rare In inans because he onanelles and open suures accommodae any increased inracranial pressure, sparing he opc discs. ▪ Ears ▪ small, deormed, or low se arcles may indicae associaed congenial deecs, especially renal disease. ▪ Nose ▪ wih chonal aresia, he baby canno breahe i one nosril is occluded. ▪ Mouh and pharynx ▪ supernumerary eeh, Epsein pearls ▪ hrush ▪ vesicles in he mouh can be caused by environmenal inecons and herpes simplex virus inecons. ▪ Neck ▪ lymph adenopahy is usually rom viral or bacerial inecons. ▪ Oher neck masses include malignancy, brachial cle or hyroglossal duc cys, and periarcular cys and sinuses. ▪ Thorax and lungs ▪ Apnea ▪ upper respiraory inecons may cause nasal aring ▪ duraso abdominal paradox, or paradoxal breahing, is inward movemen o he ches and ouward movemen o he abdomen during inspiraon. This is normal nding in newborns bu no in older inans. ▪ Hear and peripheral vascular sysem ▪ Birh-ransposion o he grea areries, pulmonary valve aresia or senosis. ▪ Wihin a ew days o birh-Love, also, oal anomalous pulmonary venous reurn, hypoplasc le hear. ▪ Absen or diminished emoral pulses sugges corcaon o he order. Week or hready, dicul o eel pulses may reec mild cardial dysuncon in hear ailure. ▪ Inans and children commonly have a normal sinus dysrhyhmias, wih he hear rae increasing on inspiraon and decreasing on expiraon, somemes quie abruply. The mos common dysrhyhmias in children is proximal super venricular achycardia. ▪ A louder han normal pulmonic componen suggess pulmonary hyperension. Persisen spling o S2 may indicae arial sepal deec. ▪ Mos inans wih cardiac pahology have signs beyond hear murmurs such as a poor eeding, ailure o hrive, irriabiliy, poor overall appearance, weakness, akip NIA, clubbing, hepaomegaly and ague. ▪ Breas ▪ he breas o males and emales may be enlarged or monhs aer birh as a resul o maernal esrogen. ▪ Abdomen ▪ you will nd i easy o palpae in inans abdomen, because inans like being ouched. ▪ Abnormal abdominal masses can be associaed wih kidney, bladder, or bowel umors. In Pi lorick senosis, deep palpaon in he righ upper quadran or midline can reveal in olive, or a 2 cenmeer rm pyloric mass. ▪ Male genialia ▪ inspec wha he inan supine. The oreskin o a newborn is non reracable a birh or jus enough o visualize ha urehral mieus. In 3% o inans, one or boh eses canno be el in he scroum or inguinal canal. Tried o milk he eses ino he scroum. ▪ Common scroal masses are hydrocele and inguinal hernias. ▪ Inabiliy o palpae eses even wih he maneuvers, indicaes undescended escles. ▪ Female genialia ▪ in emales, genialia maybe prominen or several monhs aer birh rom he eecs o maernal esrogen. This decreases during he rs year. ▪ Ambiguous genialia involves masculinizaon o he emale exernal genialia. ▪ Recum and anus ▪ In general in digial recal exam is no perormed on inans or children unless here is a queson o paency o he anus or abdominal mass. ▪ Muscular skeleal sysem ▪ skin ags, remnans o digis, polydacyly, or syndacyly or congenial deecs.
