Managing the Care for Pediatric Patients with Alterations in Gas exchange · & Oxygenation M OD ULE 6 NU RS 4 4 5 Recall the concepts of gas exchange and oxygenation. (CO7) Apply knowledge of interrelated concepts of acid-base balance, nutrition, mobility, fatigue, perfus ion, inflammation, and anxiety. (CO7) Identify the pathophysiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, treatment strategies, and nurs ing cons iderations for patients with viral and bacterial illnesses in the pediatric population. (CO1, CO7) Adapt focused respiratory asses sment strategies based on the age and developmental level of the patient. (CO1, CO5, CO7) Module 6 Dis cuss why certain pediatric groups are at greater risk for respiratory complications. (CO1, CO7) Des cribe common childhood res piratory com plications. (CO1, CO7) objectives Identify the diagnostic s trategies for alterations in gas exchange. (CO1, CO7) Integrate knowledge of respiratory devices to the care of the pediatric population. (CO7) Apply knowledge of gas exchange to the nursing care for patients with viral and bacterial illness es, including bronchiolitis (respiratory s yncytial virus , acute laryngotracheobronchitis, and epiglottitis.) (CO1, CO7) Des cribe the methods for managing viral respiratory infections in infants and children Dis cuss m ethods of clearing airways such as s uctioning and chest physiotherapy. Des cribe the perioperative nursing care for pediatric patients who have undergone tonsillectom y or adenoidectomy. (CO1, CO7) Des cribe the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and nursing care for a pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis. (CO1, CO7) Identify medications used to manage cystic fibrosis. Connect non-pharmacological interventions with management of care. Discuss the inheritance patterns and associated screenings for cystic fibrosis. Describe how the differing body systems are affected by cystic fibrosis. Describe the genetic screenings available for all infants prior to leaving the hospital for Cystic Fibrosis. (CO4) Describe the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, treatment Module 6 options, and nursing care for a pediatric patient with asthma. (CO1, CO7) Integrate previous knowledge of short acting asthma medications, long-acting asthma medications. objectives Describe the clinical manifestations of an asthma exacerbation. Explain the role triggers play in asthma exacerbation. Connect the home and hospital plan of care for asthma management and asthma exacerbation. Discuss the nurse’s role in the early identification and emergent care associated with respiratory emergencies. (CO1, CO2, CO7) Apply knowledge of emergent care to pediatric patients experiencing anaphylaxis or respiratory distress/failure. Discuss the role of the interdisciplinary team in providing quality outcomes for children with alterations in oxygenation and gas exchange.

Such as spasmodic laryngitis (spasmodic croup), laryngotracheitis/laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB), and bacterial syndromes, such as bacterial tracheitis and epiglottitis. The swelling usually extends into the trachea and bronchi. Croup at Croup syndromes gets worse night Acute spasmodic laryngitis Viral invasion of the upper airway that extends throughout the larynx, trachea, and bronchi. Common presenting signs are tachypnea, inspiratory stridor, and a seal-like barking cough.

The peak age for bronchiolitis is 2 to 6 months Infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause, but other viral, bacterial, and mycoplasmal organisms may also be responsible. RSV occurs in annual epidemics from October to March in the Southeastern United States RSV Viral debris clogs and obstructs the bronchioles and irritates the airway. the airway lining swells and produces excessive mucus.  this leads to partial airway obstruction and bronchospasms. Inspiratory and expiratory wheezing; a deeper, more frequent cough; tachypnea; retractions; and more labored breathing.

Explain the role triggers play in asthma exacerbation. What are short- and long-acting treatment medications for asthma? What should be included when teaching about asthma exacerbation prevention? Cystic fibrosis Autosomal recessive genetic disease- dysfunction of transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) CF This regulates the hydration of epithelial cells (AT I pg. 105, of many organs Progressive illness GET WORSE !!

Sodium and chloride will be 2-5 times greater than in the controls Parents often can taste the salt when they kiss their child Pathophysiology of CF CF gene directs body's epithelial cells to When the protein is defective, epithelial This disrupts the essential balance of salt produce a defective form of a protein cells can't regulate the way chloride (part of and water needed to maintain a normal found in cells that line the lungs, digestive the salt called sodium chloride) passes thin coating of fluid and mucus inside the tract, sweat glands, and reproductive across cell membranes. lungs, pancreas, and passageways in other system. organs. The mucus becomes thick, sticky, and hard to move. Thick mucus results in mechanical obstruction "Orphan disease" ↑ In patients with CF, the thick, sticky mucus and the germs it has Cystic fibrosis trapped remain in the lungs, which become infected. this is why we do percussive treatments twice daily In the pancreas, thick mucus blocks the channels that would normally ↓ carry important enzymes to the intestines to digest foods.

Sweat test What is the gold standard for CF diagnosis? newborn screen (genetics) What non-pharmacological interventions should be included in caring for a CF patient? ↳ Chest PT Vest BE ACTIVE + , Pediatric respiratory emergencies Many respiratory conditions associated with difficulty breathing can progress to respiratory distress. If the condition is not managed properly, it can lead to respiratory failure. Distress vs Respiratory failure occurs when the body can no longer - Failure maintain effective gas exchange. The physiologic process that ends in respiratory failure begins with hypoventilation (body’s O2 needs exceed actual O2 intake) of the alveoli. Signs of impending respiratory failure include irritability, lethargy, cyanosis, and increased respiratory effort such as dyspnea, tachypnea, nasal flaring, and intercostal retractions. Nursing role in identification of respiratory distress Assessment findings Escalation process Levels of care Nursing should support child during respiratory distress to prevent respiratory failure Main reason young children have cardiac failure is due to respiratory failure allergy test done 2 weeks after Anaphylactic shock-nursing role S (Linnard-Palmer pg. 440) Severe allergic systemic reaction Assessment findings- bronchial edema, laryngeal spasms, wheezing and feeling of tightness of the chest, hypotension, poor perfusion and rapid, weak pulses, rapid change in level of consciousness, body rash, nausea & vomiting, swollen tongue & itchy lips Treatments-rapid identification onset, administer SQ or IM epinephrine, need two large bore IVs for fluids and medications, administer antihistamine, airway and cardiopulmonary support (oxygen, intubation, etc.), transfer to ICU
