5-8 ml/kg/min, 2-3ml/kg/min
Term
What is the primary mode of changing your oxygen intake and CO2 elimination for an infant?

more
Term
Fetal Hgb has a ______ affinity for 2,3 DPG and thus a ______ affinity for oxygen
Definition
lower, higher
Term
RBCs with Fetal Hgb have a ½ life of...
Definition

Term
What is the major and secondary determinant of cardiac output in the infant? secondary?
Definition
Major is heart rate
Secondary is preload
Term
The first sign that a child is hypovolemic is a...
Definition
Reduction in blood pressure, b/c while the PNS is developed, the SNS is not, so the normal response of tachycardia to hypovolemia does not occur.
Term
Umbilical cord has how many veins and arteries
Definition
1 vein and 2 arteries
Term
Clamping the umbilical vein _______ systemic vascular resistance
Definition
doubles
Term
If there is sufficient increases in RA pressure (as would occur with pulmonary hypertension), the ____ ____ can be forced open
Definition
foramen ovale
Term
The DA closes due to an ______ in systemic vascular resistance and ______ in pulmonary resistance
Definition
increase, decrease
Term
Persitent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN)
Precipitating Factors
Definition
Hypothermia
Hypoxemia
Acidosis
Pneumonia
Meconium aspiration
Congenital diaphragmatic
hernia
Term
Persitent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN) treatment
Definition
Nitric Oxide (NO) is a potent pulmonary vasodilator that may be beneficial.

Oral sildenafil (viagra) is also a useful pulmonary vasodilator.

ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) may be required to provide adequate oxygenation until severe PPHN resolves.
Term
Choanal Atresia and Stenosis Implications
Definition
-easy to obstruct
-manifests as cyanosis at rest that resolves with crying or oral airway
-early placement of oral airway is helpful during induction
Term
Laryngomalacia
Definition
downward displacement of aryepiglotic fold producing obstruction with inspiration
Term
Laryngomalacia anesthetic implications
Definition
It is helpful to provide positive pressure immediately prior to intubation.

downsize your ETT! Have several sizes available
Term
subglottic stenosis
Definition
-forms 2-3 mm below the true cords
-from prolonged intubation
-were they in NICU at birth?
Term
VATERL
Definition
Vertebral anomalies, imperforate Anus, TEF, Radial aplasia/Renal abnormalities, and Limb abnormalities
Term
True or false: Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEF) are often associated with other congenital abnormalities
Definition
True
Term
symptoms of Esophageal atresia/TEF
Definition
-excessive secretions
-regurgitation of the first feeding and -occasionally respiratory distress exacerbated by feedings
-recurrent pneumonia is usually diagnosed later.
Term
What is the most common type of tracheoesophageal fistula
Definition
The most common is type C where the esophagus ends in a blind pouch from above and there is a single fistula from the lower end of the esophagus to the trachea.
Term
Anesthesia considerations for TEF:
Definition
SG RRAPP!
Suction the pouch
G-tube to vent stomach
Right main stem on purpose
RSIV
Atropine, pre-treatment
Position
Precordial
Term
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) accounts for ___% of all major congenital anomalies and occurs 1 in roughly ______ live births

8%
1 in 2,000-5,000
Term
Perioperative mortality for CDH is ____%
Definition
33-66%
Term
__% of children with CDH also have concurrent cardiac anomalies
Definition
25%
Term
Most common area of herniation in CDH
Definition
Left foramen of Bochdalek (80%)
Term
Most common areas of herniation in CDH are:
Definition
1. Left foramen of Bochdaleck (accounts for 80% of all CDH). The left foramen closes after the right which is probably why the left side is most affected.
2. Right foramen of Bochdaleck
3. Foramen of Morgagni
Term
In CDH, what problem results in thelungs due to having abdominal contents in the thoracic cavity?
Definition
IPSILATERAL LUNG HYPOPLASISA
Term
The symptoms of CDH include:

Scaphoid abdomen
Barrel shaped chest
Respiratory distress
Bowel sounds auscultated over chest
Arterial hypoxemia and cyanosis
Term

A right to left shunt, and persistent fetal circulation (PDA, PFO
Term
Treatment for kids with CDH
Definition
These kids frequently require inhaled NO (nitric oxide), high frequency ventilation and/or ECMO.
Term
Anesthesia Considerations of CDH
Definition
NG or OG tube is placed to decompress the stomach

immediately intubated (generally awake intubation)

Ventilation is accomplished with low volume and high rates.

Preductal oxygen saturation

Preductal radial arterial line should also be placed in RIGHT radial artery.

AVOID NITROUS OXIDE

Frequent ABGs

sodium bicarbonate 1mEq/kg for acidosis

Hyperventilate to keep CO2 around 25-30 torr and pH7.5!

MAINTAIN NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE!
Term
In CDH repair, If the infant’s lungs respond to hyperventilation with a ______ in PaCO2, they often times do well
Definition
decrease
Term
6 Factors that Worsen Pulmonary Hypertension
Definition
Hypoxia
Hypercarbia
Acidosis
Hypothermia
Pain
Noxious stimuli
Term
CDH fluid management
Definition
Use D5.45 or D5.9NS as maintenance on pump at 4ml/kg/hr
Term
CDH evaporative losses
Definition
8-10ml/kg/hr
Term
After CDH repair are infants extbated?
Definition
No, sent to NICU on a vent
Term
What labs should be monitored in a CDH repair
Definition
Ionized Calcium and glucose
Term
Why do you avoid 100% SpO2 in a neonate?
Definition
Due to retinopathy of prematurity. Too much O2 can cause blood vessels to grow abnormally, resulting in abnormal vessel growth causing retinopathy of prematurity.
