Infant Apnea / Sids assesment
History
any family history of sids
and periods of cyanotic apnea spells
gestational age - was the baby a premature
Treatment of Sids / apnea
Oxygen - 30 -50%
teach parents cpr
use of home apnea monitor
Meconium Aspiration
more common in post term greater then 42 weaks
Low apgar ascore
General appearace of meconium aspiration
stained with meconium
granting
retractions
cyanosis
nasal flaring
asphyxia
V/S of Meconium
tachycardia
respirations gasping with tachypnea
Blood gas of meconium
hypoxemia with mix acidosis
chest x-ray of meconium
patchy densities with wide spread atelectasis
Treatment of meconium aspiration
suction mouth then nose
intubate and resuscitate
mechanical ventilation
agressisve cpt
Congential heart defects History
my be premature
normal chest x-ray with respiratory disstress
cyanosis that is not corrected / improved with oxygen
Hypertension in upper extermities
hypotension lower extermities
Tetralogy fallout
overriding aorta
pulmonary stenosis
ventricular septal defects
right ventricular hypertension
x-ray will of heart will look like boot
Infant disstress syndrome (IDS)
a reduction in lung volume due to lack of surfactant
assesment of IDS
Gastational age less then 38 weeks
low apgar score
onset of IDS symptoms
at birth or a few hours after
appearance of IDS
nasal flaring
granting
retarctions
cyanosis
increase rr
x-ray of irds
reticulogranular infiltrates
honeycomb appearance
ground glass appearance
ABG of IDS
hypoxemia that does not improve with increase of fio2
treatment of IDS
maintain PaO2 greater then 60 torr
use oxyhood then c-pap
surfactant therapy
mechanical ventilation of IRDS
use of peep
simv
Reverse I:E
adminstration of surfactant
use 2-5 mg ml/kg
divided into 2 - 4 dose.
manually ventilate after each does
rotate patient from side to side
Bronchopulmonary dysphasia
a chronic lung diease that developes as in newborns as a consequence of irds
History of bronchopulmonary dysphasia
premature that requires mechanical ventilation with high levels of fio2
treatment of bronchopulmonary dysphasia
keep pao2 between 55 - 70 torr
paco2 45 - 60 torr
ph 7.25 7.40
use the lowest fio2
wean by decreasing rate
extubate when rr is between 5-15bpm
evoid ET - Cpap (this can increase raw)
