  11. Steeple Sign

  12. Case 4 • 18 month female with fever x 2 days. Difficulty swallowing. • HR130 RR28 T39C • Exam normal except won’t move neck fully. • What diagnostic test should be performed?

  13. Retropharyngeal Abscess • Complication of bacterial pharyngitis • Grp A strep, oral anaerobes and S. aureus • Treatment • IV Clindamycin and Cefuroxime • Consult ENT

  14. Retropharyngeal Soft Tissues* * Retrotracheal Soft Tissues * *

  15. Case 5 • 5 yr old male fever x 6 hrs. Refusing to eat or drink. Voice muffled, drooling. Not immunized. • HR 140 RR 20 T 39.5 • Very quiet, doesn't move. • Slight noise on inspiration. • Chest clear, exam normal.

  16. Epiglottitis • Rarely seen • Strep pneumoniae • H. influenzae uncommon due to vaccine • Do not disturb patient • Consult Anesthesia, intubate • IV Cefuroxime and Clindamycin

  17. Case 6 • 17 mo male with sudden onset noisy and abnormal breathing. • Was playing on floor before developing difficulty breathing. • VS T36.8, P200 (crying), R28 (crying), O2 sat 99% • Mild wheezing with mild inspiratory stridor.

  18. What investigation would you do next?

  19. Expiratory CXR

  20. Inspiratory Expiratory

  21. Foreign Body Aspiration • Highest risk between 1 -3 yrs old • Immature dentition, poor food control • More common with food than toys • peanuts, grapes, hard candies, sliced hot dogs • Acute respiratory distress (resolved or ongoing) • Witnessed choking • Cough, Stridor, Wheeze, Drooling • Uncommonly…. Cyanosis and resp arrest

  22. Case 7 • 9 month old female with fever x 2 days. Vomiting x 20 today. Diarrhea x 10 today. Voiding scant amounts. • HR 120 RR 36 BP 100/50 T 38.5 • Cap refill 2 sec, pink, decreased skin turgor. • Font sunken, eyes sunken. • Abdo + GU normal.

  23. Case 7 • What is the degree of dehydration of this child? • Management?

  24. Dehydration

  25. Gastroenteritis • ORT with rehydration solution (eg Pedialyte) • 5 ml/kg/hr divided every 5 min, continue until appears hydrated • Consider Ondansetron (0.15 mg/kg) • Early refeeding (including milk) within 12 hrs • Rule out UTI

  26. Fluids and Electrolytes • Maintenance (D5NS) • 4ml/kg/hr for first 10 kg • 2ml/kg/hr for second 10 kg • 1 ml/kg/hr for rest of weight in kg • Deficit (NS) • If severely dehydrated give NS bolus • 20 ml/kg over 15-60 min • Replace over 24 hours • First half over 8hrs, second half over 16 hrs • Ongoing Losses • Diarrhea, Vomiting, Insensible losses with fever

  27. Case 8 • 15 month old male with intermittent sudden severe abdo pain x 24 hrs. Vomiting x 3. Diarrhea with blood and mucus. • HR130 RR24 T37 • Tender abdomen with fullness in RUQ • Diagnosis? • Investigations?

  28. Intussusception • 1-3 years • Boys 2:1 • Classic Triad (10-30%) • Vomiting • Crampy abdominal pain • “Red currant jelly” stools • Lethargy is common

  29. Intussusception • 75% are ileo-colic • Lead point • Peyer's Patches • preceding viral infection • Meckel diverticulum • Polyps • Hematoma (Henoch Schonlein Purpura) • Lymphoma

  30. Intussusception • Plain AXR • May be normal • May have signs of bowel obstruction • Paucity of air in RLQ • No air in Cecum on Lateral Decubitus

  31. Target Sign

  32. Crescent Sign

  33. Intussusception • Air Contrast Enema • Success rate >80% • Recurrence 10-15%

  34. Case 9 • 4 week old boy with vomiting for past week. Initially one emesis per day now emesis with every feed. Forceful. No bile. • No fever. No diarrhea. • Looks well. Mild dehydration. • Abdomen soft, non tender, BS present. • DDx?

  36. Pyloric Stenosis • Most common surgical condition < 2 mos • 4-6 wks of age • Ratio male to female is 4:1 • Increased in first born males • Occurs in 5% of siblings and 25% if mother was affected

  37. Pyloric Stenosis • Nonbilious vomiting • Emesis increases in frequency and eventually becomes projectile • Classic findings: • Hypertrophied pylorus palpable “olive” in epigastric area • Peristaltic waves progressing from LUQ to the epigastrium

  38. Pyloric Stenosis • Laboratory abnormalities: • Hypokalemia • Hypochloremia • Metabolic alkalosis • Ultrasound • Thickened pylorus

  39. Case 10 • 1 month old with bilious vomiting. Multiple episodes of yellow green vomiting since this morning. Progressive lethargy and irritability. • Looks unwell, irritable cry. • Abdomen distended. • Weak pulses, cap refill>5 sec. • DDx? Management?

  40. Volvulus • Twisting of a loop of bowel around its mesenteric attachment. • 80% present by the first month • 40% present in the first week • Rarely can be seen in older children.

  41. Volvulus • Sudden onset of bilious vomiting in a neonate. • Acute abdomen with shock • May have more gradual course with episodic vomiting

  42. Volvulus • Evidence of small bowel obstruction • Dilated loops • Air fluid levels • Paucity of distal air

  43. Volvulus • Upper GI series • “corkscrew” appearance of the duodenum and jejunum

  44. Case 11 • 1 month old girl fever today. Cough and runny nose. Slightly decreased feeding. • Looks well, alert and interactive • T 38.9o HR 176 RR 42 BP 100/50 • Font flat, neck supple, exam non remarkable • What is your approach to this case?

  45. Low Risk Criteria “Rochester” for Febrile Infants • Well appearing infants 1-3 mos are low risk for serious bacterial infection if: • Previously healthy • Born at term (> 37 weeks) • No hyperbilirubinemia • No hospitalizations • No chronic or underlying diseases • No evidence of focal bacterial infection • Laboratory parameters: • WBC count 5-15/mm3 • Urinalysis WBC count < 5/hpf • Stool WBC count < 5/hpf (if infant has diarrhea)

  46. Case 12 • 2 year old boy with generalized tonic clonic movements. Duration 5 min. • T 39.2o HR 110 RR 24 BP 110/60 • Awake now, normal neurological exam. • Right TM bulging, neck supple, no rash. • Past med history unremarkable. • Approach?
