Functional Constipation
A careful diet history is important to ensure that the child is consuming adequate dietary fiber and maintaining an adequate fluid intake. If diet change alone is ineffective, medications may be required Medications: Osmotic stool softeners such as milk of magnesia, lactulose, or polyethylene glycol solution (MiraLax). Stimulant laxatives such as standardized extract of senna fruit (Senokot syrup, ExLax) Disimpactants such as hypertonic phosphate or saline enemas, mineral oil (2-3 mL/kg/d), and nonabsorbable osmotic agents such as polyethylene glycol (MiraLax, 1 g/kg/d) and milk of magnesia (1-2 mL/kg/d) Stool softeners should thereafter be given regularly in doses sufficient to induce two or three loose bowel movements per day Behavioral Modification: Regular toilet sittings A few minutes on awakening in the morning and after meals Ensuring proper foot placement while sitting on the toilet Addressing any underlying fears about toileting by the child Recurrence of encopresis is common and should be treated promptly to eliminate the fecal impaction and avoid the cycle of impaction, soiling, and retentive behaviors What is this tx for?
Transient tachypnea of the newborn
A common disease in newborns that presents with tachypnea, retractions, expiratory grunting, and occasionally hypoxia. Appears shortly after birth, and usually resolves within 72 hours. usually presents in near-term or full-term infants. This disease is usually self-limiting with little morbidity. Pathophys: At birth, the neonate lung switches from Cl- (fluid) secretion to Na+ (fluid) absorption. Neonates do not develop the ability to absorb fluids until late gestation. If this ability is delayed, the infant is unable to clear lung fluids. Can occur even in the face of a mature lung. Infants should clear up to 35% of lung fluid before birth An additional 30% is cleared during active labor as a result of mechanical transpulmonary pressures and catacholemines. The last 35% is cleared postnasaaly as a result of active crying and breathing. Infants born by cesarean do not undergo the transthoracic forces of labor and are at greater risk of developing TTN.

Height, weight, head circumference Heart Pulses Chest and lungs
After vital signs are recorded, the infant's WHAT are measured. This information is plotted onto a growth chart based on the child's gestation age, using a Ballard scoring chart. Many times, the obstetrician will have an estimate of gestational age by dates before the infant is delivered, but the scoring still needs to be done. This is usually done by the nursery nurses. Physical examination of the newborn is a very complete, head to toe exam. As in all examinations of young infants, do listening first. The WHAT should be auscultated for at least 30 seconds listening for murmurs and regularity. WHAT are checked in ALL extremities, and graded as 2+/4+ and equal. Note any very strong or bounding pulses. WHAT re auscultated next, to assess equal and full breath sounds, and to note any adventitious sounds. This is the time to observe work of breathing, and any chest asymmetry.

Cushing's Syndrome
Almost all patients with THIS have a pituitary adenoma (Rare in childhood) ACTH secretion is increased more than that of cortisol, suggesting that the adrenal cortex is relatively unresponsive to excess ACTH The relative activity of the enzymes involved in cortisol biosynthesis does not change and, therefore, the production and excretion of cortisol precursors are increased proportionately The corticotroph adenoma cells respond to decreases in serum cortisol concentrations by increasing ACTH secretion and to increases in serum cortisol concentrations (or other glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone) by decreasing ACTH secretion What is this?
Intubate (Due to low functional residual capacity, infants and neonates are more likely to require early initiation of noninvasive ventilation or endotracheal intubation A temporary intraosseous line should be placed if IV access cannot be rapidly obtained for resuscitation fluids and medications A central venous line should be considered in patients with hemodynamic instability, particularly if they require ongoing resuscitation and infusions of vasoactive medications Subclavian and internal jugular lines are preferred for more accurate and consistent central venous saturation and pressure monitoring)

Fever in neonates and young infants
Although most neonates (younger than 28 days of age) and young infants (29 to 90 days of age) with fever have a benign viral illness, the goal of the evaluation is to identify those children who are at high risk for serious bacterial illness (e.g., bacteremia, urinary tract infection, meningitis, bacterial gastroenteritis, or pneumonia), and who therefore require empiric antimicrobial therapy and possibly hospitalization The young febrile infant may demonstrate few, if any, interpretable clues to the underlying illness The limitations of the history and physical examination in neonates and young infants with fever traditionally have led to an aggressive laboratory evaluation, even for patients who were previously healthy, are well-appearing, and have no focal infection In the past, most of these patients have been admitted to the hospital for antibiotic treatment pending negative cultures What is this for?

Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Ductus Arteriosis allows blood flowing from pulmonary artery to aorta during fetal life. PDA is failure of normal closure of this shunt after birth. 5 to 10% of congenital heart defects. Left → Right Shunt Oxygenated blood shunted from descending aorta to pulmonary artery. Common in premature infants. Rare in full term babies. What is this?
Cardiopulmonary
During fetal life, the placenta offers low resistance to blood flow. In contrast, the pulmonary arterioles are markedly constricted and there is high resistance to blood flow in the lungs. Therefore, the majority of blood entering the right side of the heart travels from the right atrium into the left atrium across the foramen ovale (right-to-left shunt). In addition, most of the blood that makes its way into the right ventricle and then pulmonary arteries will flow from the pulmonary artery into the aorta through the ductus arteriosus (right-to-left shunt). At birth, two events affect the cardiovascular and pulmonary system: (1) the umbilical cord is clamped, removing the placenta from the maternal circulation (2) breathing commences As breathing commences, the pulmonary vascular resistance falls below that of the systemic circuit, resulting in a reversal in direction of blood flow across the ductus arteriosus and marked increase in pulmonary blood flow Right-to-left shunting disappears completely by 8 hours Functional closure of the ductus arteriosus begins shortly after birth The ductus arteriosus usually remains patent for 1-5 days Although flow through the ductus arteriosus usually is gone by 5 days of life, the vessel does not close anatomically for 7-14 days Similarly, the left atrial pressure rises above that of the right atrium, functionally closing the flap of the foramen ovale In the normal newborn, pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure continue to fall during the first weeks of life as a result of demuscularization of the pulmonary arterioles Adult levels of pulmonary resistance and pressure are normally achieved by 4-6 weeks of age *It is at this time typically that signs of pulmonary over-circulation associated with left-to-right shunt lesions (VSD or atrioventricular septal defect [AVSD]) appear* What changes are these at birth?

If you are in a room with a closed door when fire occurs: Do not open the door if you see smoke under it. Check the door handle Stay low to the ground Yell for help or call 911 if you have a phone Do not hide! Discuss this with parents of young and school age children. What anticipatory guidance is this?
Palmar grasp
Evident with the placement of the examiner's finger in the newborn's palm; develops by 28 weeks' gestation and disappears by age 4 months. What neuro exam is this?
Newborn PE
Examination of the genitalia is next. In males inspection of the penis should reveal a foreskin that completely covers the glans. Gently slightly retract the foreskin to observe the urethral meatus. Testes can be palpated in the scrotum. Placing females in a frog-leg position allows for a careful exam of the labia majora and minora. The clitoris should be visible and also the urethral and vaginal openings. The anus should be inspected for placement and patency. Examine the extremities for range of motion and any anomalies, such as extra digits or webbing. Check for leg length differences. The hips should be examined for dislocation. Tests for this include Ortolani and Barlow maneuver shown here. What is this?
HEENT

Nursery care
In many centers, glucose testing is done on all infants regardless of weight. Vitamin K and eye prophylaxis is given to all infants. Silver Nitrate causes chemosis and is not effective against Chlamydia Trachomatis infection of the eyes. Erythromycin prevents Gonococcal and Chlamydial disease. Vitamin K is given intramuscularly (IM) to protect against hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Hep B vaccine before discharge. Hep B immunoglobulin and vaccine within 12 hours if mother is Hep B surface antigen positive. The state required newborn screening is done at discharge, and again at two weeks. What is this?
Acute Gastroenteritis
In the United States, rotavirus primarily affects infants between 3 and 15 months of age. The peak incidence in the United States is in the winter with sporadic cases occurring at other times. The virus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and survives for hours on hands and for days on environmental surfaces Vomiting is the first symptom in 80%-90% of patients, followed within 24 hours by low-grade fever and watery diarrhea. Diarrhea usually lasts 4-8 days What clinical presentation is this for?

Nursery
Infants all have a period of transitioning from intrauterine life. The normal newborn nursery is set up for the 85-90% of term newborns who do well, but is also geared to care for infants who have problems with transition. Currently, ALL normal newborns are treated as "recovery" patients, until they have demonstrated the ability to transition smoothly. It is important to keep in mind that newborns, especially Pre-Term Infants, respond paradoxically to hypoxia with Apnea rather than Tachypnea as occurs in adults. a more detailed physical examination should be done, and a careful estimate of gestational age. Always make sure to RECORD ALL findings! Orders should be written, based on the needs of a specific child. THESE orders should reflect the child's weight and gestational age. If risk factors for illness are found, intervention should begin at this time. When the infant is stable and clean, a more careful assessment of gestational age should be done. Based on the gestational age, some problems may be anticipated and resolved before becoming more complicated. Accurate dating from the first date of a last menstrual period is sometimes impossible, so a physical assessment if gestational age is necessary. Three terms for describing these infants are small for gestational age, large for gestational age, and appropriate for gestational age. This can be written as SGA, LGA, or AGA. What is this?

Congenital Pneumonia
Pulmonary injury in neonatal pneumonia is caused directly by invading microorganisms or foreign material. The neonatal host defense system may not have the appropriate response. The activated inflammatory response product may directly injure tissues and alter the metabolic components. Gas exchange may be impaired as a result of the airways having more resistance. As the myocardium works harder to overcome the effects of pulmonary resistance, the lungs may be less able to add oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. Heart failure may occur as lung efficiency decreases. may originate at three different times: 1.True congenital pneumonia is already established at birth. 2. Intrapartum pneumonia is acquired during passage through the birth canal. 3. Postnatal pneumonia originates in the first 24 hours of life, but begins AFTER the infant leaves the birth canal What pathophys is this for?

The liver can be felt easily about 1-2 cm below the costal margin, and the kidneys can also be palpated. The spleen is not normally palpated in the newborn. The WHAT will have a clamp in place, and the vessels will be clearly visible for the first few hours. The cord will be observed for any bleeding and signs of infection by the nursery team. The WHAT may be palpated just below the umbilicus. A firm, distended bladder requires further investigation.
Asthma
The airway mucosa is infiltrated with activated eosinophils and T lymphocytes, and there is activation of mucosal mast cells Structural changes of the airways: Thickening of the basement membrane due to subepithelial collagen deposition The epithelium is often shed or friable, with reduced attachments to the airway wall and increased numbers of epithelial cells in the lumen The airway wall itself may be thickened and edematous Another common finding is occlusion of the airway lumen by a mucous plug There is vasodilation and angiogenesis The airways may be narrowed, erythematous, and edematous What pathophys airway remodeling is this?
Theophylline
The bronchodilator effect is due to inhibition of phosphodiesterases in airway smooth-muscle cells, which increases cyclic AMP, but doses required for bronchodilatation commonly cause side effects Theophylline does have an additional anti-inflammatory effect and may, therefore, reduce corticosteroid insensitivity in severe asthma. Clinical Use: Oral theophylline is usually given as a slow-release preparation once or twice Low doses of theophylline have additive effects to ICS and are particularly useful in patients with severe asthma Side effects: The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, and headaches and are due to phosphodiesterase inhibition Diuresis and palpitations may also occur, and at high concentrations, cardiac arrhythmias, epileptic seizures, and death may occur What tx is this with asthma?

Heel to ear
The infant is placed supine and the flexed lower extremity is brought to rest on the mattress alongside the infant's trunk. The examiner supports the infant's thigh laterally alongside the body with the palm of one hand. The other hand is used to grasp the infant's foot at the sides and to pull it toward the ipsilateral ear. The examiner fells for resistance to extension of the posterior pelvic girdle flexors and notes the location of the heel where significant resistance is appreciated. What is this w/ballard scoring?

Midgut Malrotation
The midgut extends from the duodenojejunal junction to the mid-transverse colon During gestation, the midgut elongates into the umbilical sac, returning to an intra-abdominal position during the 10th week of gestation When rotation is incomplete, the dorsal fixation of the mesentery is defective and shortened, so that the bowel from the ligament of Treitz to the mid-transverse colon may rotate around its narrow mesenteric root and occlude the SMA and/or cause intestinal obstruction Malrotation leads to volvulus and accounts for 10% of neonatal intestinal obstructions What is this in children?

Discuss results with parents and determine a plan Suggest resources for follow-up, monitoring, learning activities, or further assessment if needed. What assessment screening tool is this?
confidentiality
The physician should address the issue of WHAT telling the parents that two meetings—one with the teenager alone and one with only the parents—will take place At the beginning of the interview with the patient, it is useful to say: "I am likely to ask you some personal questions. This is not because I am trying to pry into your personal affairs, but because these questions may be important to your health. I want to assure you that what we talk about is confidential, just between the two of us. If there is something I feel we should discuss with your parents, I will ask your permission first unless I feel it is life-threatening."
Newborn examination
The purpose of the WHAT is to identify abnormalities or anomalies that might impact the infant's well-being, and to evaluate for any acute illness or difficulty in the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life Start with observation, then auscultation of the chest, and then palpation of the abdomen. Examination of the eyes, ears, throat, and hips should be performed last, as these maneuvers are most disturbing to the infant

This results from immature lungs that are unable to sustain necessary oxygenation Resulting hypoxia is an underlying associated cause of neurological damage such as cerebral palsy Hyperoxia, a side effect of RDS treatment, causes bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity What is this associated with preterm labor and is a pivotal complication?
APGAR
This scoring system is the standard for estimating respiratory and neuro depression at birth. Scores are determined at precisely 1 min and 5 min after birth: they denote a baby who is healthy (7-10), mildly to moderately asphyxiated (4-6), and seriously at (0-3). A score of 10 is rare and a very low score at 5 min is more likely to predict residual neuro damage-although most infants with low 5-min scores survive and are normal. For a mnemonic aid to the categories, use appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration. Color 0 Blue, pale; 1 Body pink, extremities blue; 2 Completely pink Heart rate 0 Absent, 1 <100, 2 >100 Response to nose catheter 0 No response; 1 Grimace; 2 Sneeze, cough Respiratory effort 0 Absent, 1 Slow, irreg; 2 Good, crying Muscle tone 0 Limp; 1 Some flexion of extremities; 2 Active motion What scoring is this?

Posture
To elicit the item, the infant is placed supine (if found prone) and the examiner waits until the infant settles into a relaxed or preferred posture. If the infant is found supine, gentle manipulation (flex if extended; extend if flexed) of the extremities will allow the infant to seek the baseline position of comfort. What is this associated with the ballard scoring?
Sexual Abuse
To maintain a sense of comfort and routine for the patient, the genital examination should be conducted in the context of a full body checkup The majority of victims of THIS exhibit no physical findings Delay in disclosure by the child, abuse that may not cause physical trauma (e.g., fondling, oral-genital contact, or exploitation by pornographic photography) Rapid healing of minor injuries such as labial, hymenal, or anal abrasions, contusions, or lacerations Nonspecific abnormalities of the genital and rectal regions such as erythema, rashes, and irritation may not suggest THIS in the absence of a corroborating history, disclosure, or behavioral changes What PE is this for?

Clubfoot
Treatment Manipulation and casting Treatment needs to begin immediately, otherwise foot becomes stiff and non operative treatment is more resistant Serial casting is required for 2-4 months Ponsetti method What tx is this for?
Osteosarcoma
Treatment Medical therapy Neoadjuvant (preoperative) chemotherapy has been found to facilitate subsequent surgical removal by causing tumor shrinkage and to provide oncologists with risk parameters. Patients in whom there has been a good histopathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (>95% tumor cell kill or necrosis) have a better prognosis than those whose tumors do not respond Surgery are not particularly responsive to radiotherapy Surgery is the only option for definitive tumor removal Surgery The primary aim of surgical resection is patient survival Wide margin resection - margins on all sides of the tumor must contain normal tissue. Adequate margin is thought to be 5-7 cm from the edge of an abnormality depicted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or bone scanning Radical margin resection - removal of the entire involved compartment (bone, joint to joint; muscle, origin to insertion). This is usually not required for cure. Amputation may be necessary in some cases Surgery Limb salvage surgery Autologous bone graft-own tissue Allograft-donor tissue Prosthesis Rotationplasty What is this tx for?

Scoliosis
Treatment Most idiopathic curves never progress to require treatment Regular observation during adolescence is recommended Frequency of observation depends on severity of the curve Exercise therapy does not change curve progression Less than 20 degrees observation 20-45 degrees bracing Over 45 degrees surgery Treatment Observation intervals depend on degree of curve and amount of growth remaining For curves < 20⁰ repeat exam and x-rays every 3 months for children pre-menarche and every 6-12 months for those post-menarche For curves > 20⁰ brace and repeat exam and x-rays every 3 months for those pre-menarche. Post--menarche no brace is necessary but repeat exam every 3 months Surgery for curves > 50⁰ or curves 40⁰-50⁰ that are likely to progress Bracing for curves 20-45⁰ Goal is to arrest progression of the curve. Those with limited growth remaining (post-menarche) require no bracing What is this?
Clavicle Fracture
Treatment Newborns - no treatment Young Children - immobilize and observe. Usually in sling or figure 8 strap Adolescents - Sling or figure 8 strap unless fracture is tenting or blanching the skin. Severely displaced fractures may require surgery Immobilize for 4-6 weeks and then begin ROM. Physical therapy is rarely needed This tx is for what?
Supracondylar Humerus
Treatment Non-displaced fractures may be treated with splint or cast immobilization for 4-6 weeks. Repeat x-rays weekly for first 2-3 weeks to assess alignment Displaced fractures require reduction and in most cases pinning Supracondylar humerus fractures have a high rate of neurovascular problems Failure to recognize vascular injury may result in Volkmann ischemic contracture Malunion may result in loss of carrying angle What fracture is this tx for?
Exercise Induced Asthma (Return to play after an attack: No specific guidelines describe RTP after an asthma attack in an athlete The athlete should first be asymptomatic Progress athlete through graded increases in exercise activity Lung function should be monitored with a peak flow meter and compared with baseline measures to determine when asthma is sufficiently controlled to allow the athlete to resume)
Treatment Recognize and avoid triggers Medication: Short-acting β2-agonist should be readily available Onset of action is typically 5 to 15 minutes Up to 3 treatments per hour Refer to ER or urgent care if: Breathing difficulties continue after 3 treatments in 1 hour Athlete continues to have any signs or symptoms of acute respiratory distress Provide supplemental oxygen to help maintain blood oxygen saturation above 92% What is this tx for?
In-Toeing
Treatment Shoe modifications, braces, and exercise do not alter developmental changes in femoral or tibial torsion Casting is occasionally necessary to correct foot deformity such as metatarsus adductus Most children grow out of in-toeing without treatment In rare cases consistent tripping or unsightly gait may require surgical correction, if not improved by age 7 or 8 What tx is this for?
Osteomyelitis
Treatment Start IV antibiotics immediately after obtaining diagnostic tests and cultures Surgery to drain sub-periosteal abscess is indicated when symptoms and fever continue despite antibiotic therapy In chronic cases, surgery may be needed to resect or debride necrotic or avascular tissue Antibiotics should continue for at least 6 WEEKS, depending on clinical response Typical organisms include Staph aureus, Group B strep, or Haemophilus influenza Consider Pseudomonas if infection is related to a nail puncture wound What tx is this for?
Cerebral Palsy
Treatment and management are directed at assisting the child to attain maximal neurological functioning with appropriate physical, occupational, and speech therapy Orthopedic monitoring and intervention and special educational assistance may all contribute to an improved outcome Treatment of spasticity (with dantrolene, benzodiazepines, baclofen, or botulinum toxin) and seizures are needed in many children Also important is the general support of the parents and family with counseling, educational programs, and support groups No cure currently What tx is this for?
Rotavirus
Treatment is nonspecific and supportive, aimed at replacement of fluid and electrolyte deficits, along with ongoing losses, especially in small infants The use of oral rehydration solutions is appropriate in most cases The use of clear liquids or hypocaloric (dilute formula) diets for more than 48 hours is not advisable Early initiation of refeeding is recommended What is this for?
Hirschsprung disease
Treatment is surgical At the time of definitive surgery, the transition zone between ganglionated and nonganglionated bowel is identified Aganglionic bowel is resected, and a pull-through of ganglionated bowel to the preanal rectal remnant is made In children with ultrashort segment disease, an internal anal sphincter myotomy, or botulinum toxin injection of the internal anal sphincter may control symptoms. Complications after surgery include: Fecal retention Fecal incontinence Anastomotic breakdown Anastomotic stricture Postoperative obstruction may result from inadvertent retention of a distal aganglionic colon segment Enterocolitis occurs postoperatively in 15% of patients What is this for?
Congenital Pneumonia
Treatment of inflammation is as important as antimicrobial therapy. Antimicrobial therapy should be carefully chosen to assure adequate plasma concentration as well as alveolar coverage. Respiratory support is usually necessary. Hemodynamic support may be necessary in cases of systemic infection. Nutritional support is very important. What tx is this for?
Tibial

DKA
is an absolute or relative insulin deficiency that results in the inability of cells to take up and utilize glucose Levels of counterregulatory hormones are elevated, which drives many of the physiologic disturbances observed in DKA These hormones increase glucose production by promoting glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and ketogenesis, and further decrease glucose utilization by antagonizing insulin As the serum glucose level exceeds the renal absorption threshold, an obligatory osmotic diuresis ensues, which results in the classic symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia *If not recognized early, this can lead to profound dehydration and electrolyte disturbances* Acidosis stems from the complex metabolic derangements induced by insulin deficiency and unopposed glucagon Decreased lipid uptake by adipose tissue and increased lipolysis results in an overabundance of circulating free fatty acids, which are converted by the liver into the ketoacids acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate. What pathophys is this for?

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
is an inherited genetic defect that limits production of one of the many enzymes the adrenal glands use to make cortisol The enzyme most commonly lacking in THIS is 21-hydroxylase Signs and symptoms of THIS are worst when the enzyme deficiency is severe Mineralcorticoid outer, glucocorticoid-cortisol, sex hormones, catecholamines What is this?
IV Rehydration Therapy
is appropriate and necessary in children with severe dehydration, hemodynamic compromise, or when altered mental status precludes safe oral administration of fluid A 20-mL/kg bolus of isotonic fluid should be given intravenously as rapidly as possible. Either colloid (5% albumin) or crystalloid (normal saline or Ringer lactate) may be used Colloid is particularly useful in hypernatremic patients in shock, in malnourished infants, and in neonates If no intravenous site is available, fluid may be administered intraosseously through the marrow space of the tibia What is this?
Physical Abuse
is based on the presence of a discrepant history, in which the history offered by the caregiver is not consistent with the clinical findings The discrepancy may exist because the history is absent, partial, changing over time, or simply illogical or improbable The presence of a discrepant history should prompt a request for consultation with a multidisciplinary child protection team or a report to the child protective services agency This agency is mandated by state law to investigate reports of suspected child abuse and neglect Investigation by social services and possibly law enforcement officers, as well as a home visit, may be required to sort out the circumstances of the child's injuries a detailed psychosocial history is important because psychosocial factors may indicate risk for or confirm child maltreatment This history should include information on who lives in the home, other caregivers, domestic violence, substance abuse, and prior family history of physical or sexual abuse Inquiring about any previous involvement with social services or law enforcement can help to determine risk
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
is caused by mutations in genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes involved in glucocorticoid synthesis (CYP21A2, CYP17A1, HSD3B2, CYP11B1) or in the cofactor enzyme P450 oxidoreductase that serves as an electron donor to CYP21A2 and CYP17A1 Leads to increased ACTH secretion which results in adrenal hyperplasia with increased production of adrenal hormone precursors Mutations in CYP21A2 are the most prevalent cause of CAH (90%) Patients affected by CAH exhibit glucocorticoid deficiency Depending on the exact step of enzymatic block, they may also have excess production mineralocorticoids or deficient production of sex steroids The degree of impairment of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid secretion depends on the severity of mutations
