2
Q

why would infant be cyanotic

A

amniotic fluid in lung

cong. heart disease

3
Q

cong. heart vs respiratory cyanosis: how to tell the difference

A

listen for murmurs

-single S2: worrisome

4
Q

baby PMI

A

right side hypertrophy, so right shifted–>just left of sternal border (vs. mid clavicular line in adults)

  • ensure not situs inversus
  • ensure no tension pneumothorax (R: right hyper expands, shift left of PMI, vis versa)
