  1. Pediatrics Review Gina Neto, MD FRCPC Pediatric Emergency Medicine

  2. Objectives Pediatric Emergency in 45 min! Recognize and manage acute pediatric presentations from newborn to older children Describe evidence based management of selected pediatric conditions

  3. Case • 4 day old girl presents to the ED with jaundice. • Today is sleepy and has to be woken for feeds. • Born at term, SVD. No complications. BW 3.5 kg. • T 37.2, HR 140, RR 36, BP 90/50. Wt3.1 kg • No distress. Sleeping but arouses easily. • Skin jaundiced, sclera icteric.

  4. Case • Further history • Baby is breastfeeding every 3 hrs but falling asleep, stays on breast for 30 min. • No urine output since last evening. • GBS neg, SROM 1 hr before delivery. • Asian ethnicity. Mom is O pos.

  5. Case • Assessment? • Initial management? • Jaundice is a medical emergency! • Start phototherapy immediately • > 10% wt loss– dehydration vs poor weight gain • IV fluids • Sleepy vs Lethargic • ? Needs septic work up

  6. Neonatal Jaundice • Most common medical presentation in 1st week of life • Unconjugated vs Conjugated • Physiologic jaundice • 3rd day of life •  RBC mass, Immature liver conjugation, Increased enterohepatic circulation • Poor feeding and dehydration • “Not Enough Breastfeeding Jaundice” • Increased enterohepatic circulation, Decreased bilirubin clearance

  7. Neonatal Jaundice • Breast milk jaundice • Starts Day 5-7, Well baby • May last for several weeks • ? Component in milk that inhibits conjugation • Blood destruction • Immune (Hemolysis) • ABO incompatibility, Rh Disease • Non-Immune • Blood Disorders (G6PD, Spherocytosis) • Hematoma, Polycythemia • Sepsis • Other (Gilbert, Crigler-Najjar, Hypothyroidism)

  8. Neonatal Jaundice • Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is always pathologic • Liver Disease • Biliary obstruction (atresia, choledochal cyst) • Hepatitis • Sepsis • STORCH infection • Syphilis, Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, CMV, HSV, Hep B • Metabolic disorders • Galactosemia, Tyrosinemia

  9. Neonatal Jaundice • Bilirubin Induced Encephalopathy • Basal ganglia involvement • Early • High-pitched cry, lethargy, hypotonia • Late • Hypertonia, extensor rigidity, seizures, coma, death • Long term • Athetoid cerebral palsy, deafness

  10. Neonatal Jaundice • Labs • Bilirubin – total and conjugated  STAT ! • CBC, Blood group, Direct antibody test (Coombs)     • Consider Septic Workup, Lytes, BUN, Cr, Glu, VBG • Start phototherapy immediately • Converts unconjugated bilirubin into water soluble isomers • If treatment needed: • Consider IV hydration, Keep baby warm • Catheter Urine (~8% will have a UTI)

  11. Neonatal Jaundice Remember to also plot on Exchange Transfusion Graph if in treatment range

  12. Case • 5 day old boy presents with vomiting and lethargy • Over the past 24 hrs the baby has become increasingly sleepy and difficult to feed. • Vomited several times. • No wet diapers since last night. • Born at term. SVD. No complications. BW 3.5 kg

  13. Case • T 35.2oC, HR 200, RR 60, BP 90/50. • O2 sat 96% • Lethargic, mottled infant • Chest - clear, mild intercostal indrawing • CV - normal HS, cap refill 5 sec • Abd - slightly distended

  14. Case • What is the physiologic status of the infant? • Shock • Compensated or decompensated? • Initial management? • ABC’s • O2 • IV fluids • Check glucose • Warm the baby!!

  15. Septic Appearing Newborn “THE MISFITS” (Causes of Shock in the Newborn) • Trauma • Non-accidental • Heart • Duct dependent lesions • Coarctation of aorta, Hypoplastic left heart, Aortic stenosis • Arrythmias – SVT • Endocrine • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia • Thyrotoxicosis

  16. Septic Appearing Newborn “THE MISFITS” (Causes of Shock in the Newborn) • Metabolic - Hypoglycemia, Hyponatremia • Inborn errors of metabolism • Sepsis • Formulaerrors • Intestinal catastrophes - Volvulus, Necrotizing Enterocolitis • Toxins • Seizures

  17. Sepsis • Risk factors • Prematurity • PROM >18 hrs • Fever in mother or infant at delivery • Multiple births • Previous sibling with GBS infection • Pathogens • Group B Strep 30%, E. coli 30-40%, Other Gram neg 15-20% • Gram pos (including Listeria monocytogenes) 10% • Viral (HSV, HZV, RSV, Coxsackie), Chlamydia

  18. Sepsis • ABC’s, Fluid Resuscitation, Glucose • “Septic work up” • CBC, Blood C&S • Cath urine R&M, C&S • LP - if stable • CXR - if resp sx's • Viral serology • Treatment • Ampicillin & • Gentamycin or Cefotaxime • If suspect herpes – Add Acyclovir

  19. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia • Most common is 21 hydroxylase deficiency (95%) • Aldosterone and cortisol deficiency • Excess production of testosterone • Girls - Ambiguous genitalia • Boys - Adrenal crisis/shock at ~1 week • Management: • Correct fluid and electrolyte imbalances • Low Glu, Low Na, High K • Hydrocortisone • Fludrocortisone

  20. Cardiogenic Shock • Acyanotic duct dependent lesions • Critical left heart obstruction • Poor systemic blood flow • Acidosis and shock • Hypoplastic left heart syndrome • Coarctation of the aorta • Aortic stenosis • Total anomalous pulmonary venous return

  21. PDA Closure • Increased O2 sat with first breath  contraction of ductus arteriosus • physiologic closure at ~12 hrs • anatomic closure at 2-3 wks • Duct dependent lesions • No pulmonary blood flow  cyanosis • No systemic blood flow  shock

  22. Cardiogenic Shock • Acyanotic duct dependent lesions • ABC’s • Fluid resuscitation • Consider Intubation • Maintain relative hypoxia and hypercarbia • Start Prostaglandin E1 • Infusion at 0.05-0.1 g/kg/min • Complications: • Apnea in ~15%, Hypotension, Fever, Seizures • Improvement within 15-30 min

  23. Case • 3 day old girl brought to the ED with a history of progressive cyanosis and irritablity • T 36.3oC, HR 160, RR 48, BP 94/40. O2 sat 74% • Irritable, cyanotic infant • Chest clear. S1 S2, soft systolic murmur, normal pulses, cap refill 3 sec • What is your approach to this infant? • Differential diagnosis?

  24. Cyanotic Newborn Cyanotic heart lesions • Decreased pulmonary blood flow • Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) • Pulmonary atresia or stenosis • Desaturated blood shunted to systemic circulation • Transposition of great vessels (TGA) • Truncus arteriosus • Tricuspid atresia • Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)

  25. Cyanotic Newborn • Non Cardiac Causes • Upper airway obstruction • Choanal atresia • Pulmonary disease • Pneumonia • Diaphragmatic hernia • Persistent pulmonary hypertension • Neurologic • Hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, infection • Neuromuscular disorders • Polycythemia • Methemoglobinemia

  26. Cyanotic Newborn • Management • ABC’s, Glucose • 100% oxygen test • Poor response to oxygen suggests cyanotic cardiac lesion • Use only diagnostically  O2 promotes closure of PDA • Maintain relative hypercarbia and hypoxia • pCO2 45-50, O2 sat <90% • Start Prostaglandin E1 • Infusion at 0.05-0.1 g/kg/min

  27. Case 1 month old boy with 2 day history of irritability and poor feeding. Difficulty breathing today. No fever or URTI sx’s. Born at term, healthy. T 37.5oC, HR 160, RR 80, BP 85/50. O2 sat 92% Mild respiratory distress, indrawing, bilateral crackles S1 S2, III/VI systolic murmur, normal pulses Liver at 5 cm below CM

  28. Case • What is the most likely diagnosis?

  29. Congestive Heart Failure • Left to Right shunts • Presentation at 1 month • Decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance 1st month of life • Increased blood flow into lungs • Symptoms • Irritability, Diaphoresis • Poor feeding (early fatigue), Failure to thrive • Signs • Tachypnea, Tachycardia, Respiratory distress • Enlarged liver

  30. Congestive Heart Failure • VSD most common • Other: ASD, PDA • Diagnosis • Pansystolic Murmur, Hyperactive precordium • ECG – LVH • CXR – cardiomegaly, vascular redistribution • ED Management • ABC’s, Glucose • Furosemide • CPAP
