Chapter 33: Alterations of Cardiovascular Function in Children Which compensatory mechanism is spontaneously used by children diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot to relieve hypoxic spells? a. Lying on their left side c. Squatting b. Performing the Valsalva maneuver d. Hyperventilating ANS: C Squatting is a spontaneous compensatory mechanism used by older children to alleviate hypoxic spells. Squatting and its variants increase systemic resistance while decreasing venous return to the heart from the inferior vena cava.

Cushing reflex Raised ICP, tachycardia, or some other endogenous stimulus can result in distortion and/or increased pressure on the brainstem. Since the brainstem controls involuntary breathing, changes in its homeostasis often results in irregular respiratory pattern and/or apnea. This is the third and final stage of the reflex.

Carotid sinus massage in patients who fall: will it define the role of pacing? (1)have evaluated patients presenting to an emergency room because of an unexplained fall. In a prospective randomized study they assessed the effect of permanent pacing in individuals who had experienced nonaccidental falls and who had a positive cardioinhibitory response (a 3-s pause) to carotid sinus massage.

Familial dysautonomia In many cases treatment of primary dysautonomia is symptomatic and supportive. Measures to combat orthostatic hypotension include elevation of the head of the bed, frequent small meals, a high-salt diet, and drugs such as fludrocortisone, midodrine, and ephedrine.atients with chronic, progressive, generalized dysautonomia in the setting of central nervous system degeneration have a generally poor long-term prognosis. Death can occur from pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, or sudden cardiopulmonary arrest in such patients.

Pure-Tone Testing Conditioned play audiometry can be used as the child matures and is commonly used with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5). The child is trained to perform an activity each time a sound is heard. The activity may involve putting a block in a box, placing pegs in a hole, or putting a ring on a cone. If there is a blockage, such as wax or fluid, in the outer or middle ears, a method called pure-tone bone conduction testing may be used.

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a disorder that affects breathing. People with this disorder take shallow breaths (hypoventilate), especially during sleep, resulting in a shortage of oxygen and a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood.

Occupational Therapy for Down Syndrome Occupational therapists and Physical therapists work closely together to help the young child develop gross motor milestones (eg: sitting, crawling, standing, and walking). Occupational therapist works with the child at this stage to promote arm and hand movements that lay the foundation for later developing fine motor skills. The low muscle tone and loose ligaments at the joints associated with Down syndrome are real challenges to early motor development and occupational therapy can help the child meet those challenges. Most children with Down syndrome learn to speak and will use speech as their primary means of communication, they will understand language and have the desire to communicate well before they are able to speak.

Acute Ovarian Torsion and Primary Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is not typically viewed as either a surgical emergency or an acutely life-threatening condition. We report a case of a child with acute ovarian torsion, resulting in ovarian infarction necessitating oophorectomy as a direct consequence of severe undiagnosed hypothyroidism.

Tetralogy of Fallot Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is a complex heart defect. If you have ToF, you are born with four different heart problems: 1  A hole in the wall between your heart’s main pumping chambers (ventricular septal defect or VSD). 2  A valve between your heart and lungs that is too narrow (pulmonary stenosis or PS).

- Treatment of OCD or Tourette possibly caused by PANS is generally the same as the standard therapies for OCD and Tourettes (symptomatic treatment). It has, however, been observed that children with PANS appear to be unusually sensitive to the side-effects of SSRIs.he proposed criteria claims that children can be distinguished from traditional childhood onset OCD by the severity, abruptness and dramatic onset of symptoms. According to Swedo, Leckman and Rose (2012), pediatric patients suffering from PANS would be identified by the following criteria:

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome Air with less oxygen than normal is used for infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. These low oxygen levels increases the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and thus improve blood flow to the rest of the body, due to the greater pressure difference between the lungs and body.

Cardiac arrest THE MANAGEMENT OF CARDIAC ARREST. 49. Asystole. This is the most common arrest rhythm in children, because the response of the young heart to. prolonged severe hypoxia and acidosis is progressive bradycardia leading to asystole. The ECG will distinguish asystole from ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and. pulseless electrical activity.

- Assess for cuff leak: (*Not applicable for neonates, only uncuffed tubes used; For pediatrics, cuffs. used only if pt. is > 8 years old.) Cuff on end of tube is high volume, low pressure cuff which is inflated using minimal leak to obtain. adequate seal and reduce incidence of tracheal damage (Respiratory therapist will perform minimal. leak check). Signs and symptoms of cuff leak: audible inspiratory leak over larynx, pt. talking, pilot balloon.

- A distressed baby may have hypoxia (decreased oxygen), which can make the baby's intestinal activity increase and cause relaxation of the anal sphincter (the muscular valve that controls the passage of feces out of the anus). This relaxation then moves meconium into the amniotic fluid that envelops the baby.
