Term
define wheeze
Definition
lower respiratory obstruction causes inspiratory sound

small airways and increased total airway resistance (bronchoconstriction)
more easily occluded

what are the two main complications of RSV
Definition
apenia
aspiration
Term
what is apena, why is it seen with RSV
Definition
quick breathing
may be presentin symptom
Term
what is aspiration, why is it seen with RSV

apenia
aspiration
dehydration

poor feedind / dehydration
poor home status
premature
chronic heart or lung disease

4 prophylaxis for RSV
Definition
breast feeding
avoid smoking
hand washing with alcohol rubs
palivizumab
Term
who should get palovizumab
Definition
premature babies
congenital heart or lung disease
<6 mo in RSV season
Term
what are some drugs that can tx RSV and their prognosis
Definition
bronchodilators and epi: limited efficacy unless previous wheeze

corticosteroids: little use unless very early in therapy

hypertonic saliene: makes mucous thinner (maybe baby is more comfy?)
Term
define stridor
Definition
turbulence in upper airway causing inspiratory sound
can be combined with expiratory sound from subepiglottic area which is a sign of respiratory failure
Term
what do you need to ask in a history when pt has stridor
Definition
acute vs persistant
associate symptoms
aggrevating factors
association with feeding or change in position
history of airway insturmentation causing subglottic narrowing, asthma, GERD
Term
what is the first thing to do on a physical exam for stridor, what is second
Definition
assess need for emergency airway intervention while keeping child calm and in mom's arms

external mass/hemangomia evaluation
Term
if kid needs emergency airway intervention what is the process
Definition
dont do tests or lengthy exam keep child calm in moms arms and administer oxygen with racemic epinepherine

obtain CPR supplies, airway team, head to OR with baby in mom's arms

<6 mo
poor family situation
reoccuring ER visits
