Symptoms: o Rapid onset hoarseness o Croupy cough o Aphonia Tracheal FB Aspiration - Symptoms: o Brassy cough o Hoarseness o dyspnea Bronchial FB Aspiration - Symptoms: o Unilateral wheeze, usually aspirated into *Right lung o Recurrent pneumonia o HX of Choking episode - Clinical Findings: o Cyanosis o Hemoptysis, blood streaked sputum o Decreased vocal fremitus o Limited chest expansion o Diminished breath sounds o Unilateral wheezes  Tracheal: homophonic wheeze: wheeze with audible „slap‟ and palpable „thud‟ on expiration - Diagnostic: o Inspiratory and forced expiratory chest radiographs o Chest fluoroscopy - Treatment: Referral to Pulmonary Specialist - Complications:o If vegetable matter: severe condition  Fever, sepsis-like sxs, dyspnea, cough o Lobar pneumonia o Status asthmaticus o Emphysema, atelectasis - Prevention: Education on high risk foods/objects: o Carrots, nuts, popcorn, hot dog chunks o Small toys, coins, buttons, etc Restrictive Airway Diseases - Less common in pediatrics - Decreased lung compliance with relatively normal flow rates - HALLMARK: tachypnea and decreased tidal volume/capacity - Causes: o Neuromuscular weakness o Lobar pneumonia o Pleural effusion or mass o Severe pectus excavatum o Abdominal distention Asthma *Know Levels of severity* Cystic Fibrosis (CF) - Genetic disorder, autosomal recessive, mutation of CFTR protein on chromosome 7 - Multisystem, progressive disease: COPD, GI disturbances, *exocrine dysfunction - Life expectancy: 41 yrs - Symptoms: o Respiratory: chronic airway inflammation and lung infections, viscous mucus, *mucociliary transport dysfunction, chronic cough, and *excess sputum production, respiratory failure o GI: meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency, rectal prolapsed, GI obstruction, failure to thrive, edema, hypoproteinemia, steatorrhea, poor muscle mass, GERD, *vitamin deficiencies (A, K, E, D) o Hepatic: biliary cirrhosis, jaundice, ascites, hematemesis, esophageal varices, cholelithiasis o Endocrine: recurrent acute pancreatitis, CF related diabetes (CFRD) o Musculoskeletal: osteoporosis o Reproductive: delayed sexual development, nonfunctional vas deferens (male sterility), undescended testes, hydrocele, demale decreased fertility, cervicitis o Sweat: *“taste salty”, hypochloremic alkalosis, dehydration - Diagnostic: o Newborn screening performedo Gold Standard: pilocarpine iontophoresis sweat test  Only ordered if child has more than one clinical feature of CF  Sweat chloride concentration > 60 mmol/L (age > 6 months), > 30 mmol/L (in infants) o PFTs o Glycosylated hemoglobin (elevated) - Treatment: complicated, require multidisciplinary team o Pulmonary: promote airway clearance  Inhaled dornase alfa :reduce mucus viscosity  Hypertonic saline: thins mucus  Postural drainage (cycle: active breathing, autogenic drainage, percussion, positive expiratory pressure, exercise, high frequency chest wall oscillation) BID  High dose Ibuprofen: reduce airway inflammation  Azithromycin 3x/week (ibuprofen decreases neutrophil mitigation)  Lung transplant o GI:  Pancreatic enzyme supplementation  Vitamin replacement and serum monitoring (A, D, E, K)  Osmotic laxatives, Gastrografin enemas o Endocrine  Glucose tolerance test  Diabetes management Salmonella Clostridium difficile Cryptosporidium Pyloric Stenosis Pinworms Gastric Esophageal Reflux (GERD) - Common in young infants: anatomical reasons o Spitting up after mealsForeign Body Ingestion - Common in children exploring their environment with mouths and hands - Common locations: o Thoracic inlet, pyloris, ileocecal junction - Common Culprits: Coins o Most pass without problem; 10-20% need surgery - Symptoms: o Dysphagia o odynophagia, o drooling, o regurgitation, o abdominal pain, o difficulty breathing Urinary Tract Infection - More common in females > uncircumcised male > circumcised males o Girls who have > 2 UTIs, urology consult is recommended o Boys who have >1 UTIs, urology consult is recommended - Lower UTI: uncomplicated, bladder and urethra - Upper UTI: complicated, urethra, bladder, ureters, kidneys o May require hospitalization  Fluid stabilization  Treatment  Monitoring for sepsis - Risk Factors: o Perineal irritation (soaps, bubble baths, fragrances, wipes) o Not wiping front to back o uncircumcised - Symptoms: o Infants:  Fever/hypothermia  Jaundice  Poor feeding  Irritability  Vomiting  Strong smelling urine  Failure to thrive  Sepsis o Children:  Abdominal/ flank pain  Urinary frequency  Dysuria Urgency  Enuresis  Vomiting  Fever - Diagnostics: o Urinalysis o Urine culture and sensitivity o Gram stain o Hydration status and electrolyte values - Most common cause: E. coli (85%) o Others: Klebsiella, Proteus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus - Treatment: dependent on culture, child‟s age, and clinical guidelines Primary Enuresis Glomerulonephritis - Result of renal insult caused by immunoglobulin damage to the kidney - Red Flag: hematuria - Types: o Post-infection: most common  Post-streptococcal infection: occurs 10 to 14 days post-primary infection  Sx: edema, renal insufficiency  Dark, tea-colored urine o Membranoproliferative o IgA nephropathy o Henoch – Schonlein purpura (HSP):  Most common cause of small vessel vasculitis in children 2-7 yrs old  Sx: itching, urticaria, maculopapular rash with purpura on legs, buttocks, and elbows  Joint pain  50% chance of renal involvement o Systemic lupus o Alport syndrome Osgood-Schlatter Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthirits OsteomyelitisTranscient Synovitis of the Hip Legg-Calve’ – Perthes Disease Idiopathic Scoliosis
