Q

Investigations

A
  1. ABG
  2. FBE
  3. BGL
  4. UEC
  5. BC, septic screen

4
Q

Hyperoxia test

A
  1. 100% Fi02 in headbox for 10minutes
  2. Monitor oxygen saturation, repeat ABG
  3. 02 / stats + by 15%->pulmonary disease likely
  4. P02 cardiac or PPHN likely
5
Q

Management

A
  1. Resuscitation
  2. Intubation if ++distress
  3. Two IV lines
  4. Fluid boluses if needed
  5. Investigations
  6. IV antibiotics post cultures
  7. Prostaglandin E1 infusion if duct dependent cardiac disease suspected
  8. Consider ionotrope support to maintain BP
  9. Refer to pediatric cardiac centre if required
6
Q

Etiology

A
  1. Primary pulmonary
    TachyP, no right-left difference, +CO2, no metabolic acidosis, responds to +02
  2. Cardiac
    TachyP, deep slow breathing, right-left 02 difference (5-10%), normal or -ve CO2, severe metabolic acidosis, no sigN change to +02
  3. PPHN
    TachyP, grunting, recession, >10-15% difference right-left, normal/+CO2, +/- metabolic acidosis, +/- response to 02, evidence of right ventricular strain ECG
  4. Sepsis
    Resp distress (not if not primary lung pathology), no difference right-left, CO2 normal/+increased, +/- metabolic acidosis, moderate response to 02 (blunted due to low output)
7
Q

Evidence of ductal dependent pulmonary circulation

A
  1. Cyanosis
  2. TachyP w/o respiratory distress
  3. Adequate peripheral perfusion
    4 TGA, pulmonary stenosis
