Apgar Score - Diagnosing Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
•
14 likes•2,352 views
The Apgar Score is a quick neonatal diagnostic test used to evaluate and summarize a newborn baby’s health during the first few minutes of life. The Apgar score takes into account the baby’s heart rate, respiratory function, responsiveness, muscle tone and skin color. Apgar scores are often used to diagnose HIE, as low Apgar scores may indicate that a baby experienced oxygen deprivation during delivery. https://hiehelpcenter.org/medical/identifying-hie/sign-symptoms/

Foreign Body In Children
1) Foreign body ingestions and aspirations are common in children due to their natural curiosity and developmental immaturity. Objects frequently inhaled include peanuts and coins, while button batteries pose a high risk if ingested.
2) Clinical presentation depends on the location of the foreign body. Esophageal foreign bodies may cause dysphagia or chest pain. Aspirated objects often result in respiratory distress. Diagnosis involves chest x-rays, fluoroscopy, or endoscopy.
3) Emergent foreign bodies in the airway are removed using back blows, chest compressions, or the Heimlich maneuver. Bronchoscopic removal is the standard approach for aspirated objects. Ingested items usually pass
croup
This document defines and discusses croup, a respiratory condition typically affecting children ages 3 months to 5 years. Croup is usually triggered by a viral infection of the upper airways, with symptoms including a barking cough, stridor, and difficulty breathing that worsens at night. While most cases are viral in nature, some bacterial causes are also noted. Diagnosis is usually clinical based on symptoms, though imaging may show narrowing of the trachea. Treatment focuses on supportive care, hydration, oxygen, steroids, and epinephrine to ease symptoms. Croup is generally self-limiting, with symptoms improving within a week.
Technique of assessment of growth
This document discusses various techniques for assessing growth in children, including weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, tissue growth assessment, bone age, dental development, and developmental assessment. Key points include tracking weight gain patterns from birth through adolescence, using formulas to estimate height and weight at different ages, measuring body parts like head and chest, and assessing development using standardized tools like the Gesell Development Schedule and Denver Developmental Screening Test. Developmental assessment aims to identify strengths and delays by comparing a child's achievements to milestones.
Neonatal sepsis...ppt
Neonatal sepsis occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream of infants less than 90 days old. It can cause overwhelming infection or spread to organs like the lungs (pneumonia) or meningitis. Common causes are E. coli, listeria, and certain streptococcus bacteria. Risk factors include preterm birth, maternal infection, and hospitalization after birth. Symptoms are non-specific but include temperature changes, breathing issues, poor feeding, and lethargy. Diagnosis involves blood, urine, and CSF tests and treatment is with antibiotics like ampicillin and gentamicin alongside supportive care. Outcomes can vary from full recovery to neurological or respiratory problems, especially in preterm infants.
High risk newborn 1
This document discusses high-risk and low birth weight newborns. It defines a high-risk newborn as one who has difficulties with vital functions like breathing, eating, temperature regulation, etc. that could threaten their survival. It then categorizes newborns based on their birth weight as low birth weight (<2500g), very low birth weight (<1500g), or extremely low birth weight (<1000g). It also discusses classifications based on gestational age as preterm, full-term, or post-term. Low birth weight babies are at higher risk of mortality, morbidity, and developmental problems compared to normal weight newborns. The document outlines some clinical features and common complications of low birth weight infants.
Hirschsprung disease
Its a pediatric disease which is very severe, this content will be useful for the students who pursuing nursing course
Complication of puerperium
This document discusses common complications that can occur in the postpartum period for both mothers and newborn infants. It outlines important needs for both newborns, such as feeding and care, and for postpartum women, including self-care, care of the newborn, and contraception information. The document then examines various body systems and how they return to non-pregnant states following delivery, including respiratory, cardiovascular, hematological, and other systems. It concludes by discussing some potential postpartum complications for both mother and baby, such as infections, bleeding, mental health issues, and others.
Fractures
Fractures in children differ from adults and can involve the growth plates. The document discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, types, healing process, clinical presentation, and management of fractures in children. Fractures are typically caused by low velocity trauma and abuse should be suspected in children under age 2. Unique fractures in children include epiphyseal injuries at the growth plates. Therapeutic management focuses on realignment, casting, traction, and immobilization to regain function and prevent further injury.

Newborn Assessment
This document provides information on newborn examination including its definition, objectives, indications, required equipment, procedures, and assessment of various body systems. The examination should be done within 24 hours of birth, and then again at 2 weeks and 4-6 weeks. It involves assessing vital signs, measurements, skin, head, eyes, chest, abdomen, extremities and reflexes to screen for any issues and ensure normal development. The goals are to evaluate the need for resuscitation, determine gestational age, and detect any congenital anomalies.
Fracture in children
It is not surprising if a bone breaks but what is surprising is the fact that bone does not break more often considering the amount of forces it is subjected to everyday by muscle action ,load transmission, etc. bone has devised its own mechanism to ward off the unnatural forces and keep itself intact. But only when the force is to large and occurs suddenly or the force is chronic and repetitive or when the natural resistance of bone is eroded by diseases process that a bone succumbs to the insult and break.
1 care of postpartum
The document provides information on nursing care of the mother during the postpartum period. Key points include:
- The postpartum period lasts approximately 6 weeks as the body returns to its pre-pregnant state.
- Physiologic changes include uterine involution over 10 days and lochia discharge over 3 weeks. Engorgement may occur between days 3-5.
- Nursing assessments include monitoring vital signs, bleeding, breast engorgement, and bonding with the infant. Interventions focus on preventing infection, reducing pain and fatigue, and promoting breastfeeding and self-care.
High risk neonate
This document discusses several topics related to high-risk neonates and their neurodevelopmental outcomes. It begins by defining high-risk neonates as babies exposed to conditions that endanger their survival. Some factors that can contribute to high-risk status include high-risk pregnancies, medical illnesses in the mother, complications during labor, and neonatal medical conditions. The document then discusses several conditions in more detail, including hypothermia, hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, infants of diabetic mothers, and neonatal sepsis. It provides definitions, risk factors, clinical presentations, and management strategies for each of these conditions.
Hirschsprung's disease
Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder caused by the absence of ganglion cells in parts of the colon, which prevents normal nerve function. It most commonly involves the rectum and sigmoid colon. Affected infants experience constipation or intestinal obstruction after birth. Diagnosis involves rectal biopsy and imaging tests. Treatment involves surgically removing the affected part of the colon and reconnecting the healthy ends, which often cures the condition. Complications can include infection, leakage at the connection site, or ongoing constipation issues.
Intestinal obstruction in children ppt
Intestinal obstruction in children pptProf.Dr.Shali.B.S.Mamata College of Nursing,Khammam,Telangana.
Bowel obstruction occurs when the intestines become blocked, preventing normal movement of digestive contents. There are several types, including small and large bowel obstruction. Causes include adhesions from prior surgery, hernias, tumors, inflammatory bowel disease, and foreign bodies. Symptoms depend on the location but commonly include abdominal pain, distension, vomiting, and constipation. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, imaging tests like CT scans, and sometimes endoscopy or surgery to determine the specific cause. Treatment aims to resolve the blockage through conservative management with NG tubes and IV fluids or potentially surgery. Complications can include dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, infection, and bowel perforation if not properly treatedApnea of prematurity
This document discusses apnea of prematurity, defined as the cessation of breathing for over 20 seconds or less than 20 seconds accompanied by hypoxia or bradycardia in premature infants. It classifies apnea as central, obstructive, or mixed. Risk increases inversely with gestational age. Causes include immaturity of the brainstem respiratory center and exaggerated laryngeal reflex. Clinical presentation involves monitoring for apnea, bradycardia, and desaturation. Diagnosis is made using cardiorespiratory monitoring and pulse oximetry.
Fetal measures
This document provides information on various fetal assessment measures that can be performed during pregnancy. It discusses evaluating fetal growth through fundal height measurements and Leopold's maneuvers. It also describes biochemical tests that can be done including maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein, triple screen, estriol levels, and acetylcholine esterase. Invasive procedures for assessing the fetus such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are explained. The aims, indications, procedures, and risks of these various fetal monitoring techniques are outlined in the document.
Respiratory distress of newborn
This document discusses respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns, including its definition, incidence, clinical causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluations, preventive measures, complications, treatment principles, and nursing care. RDS occurs in preterm infants due to deficient surfactant production and presents as respiratory distress within hours of birth. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and confirmed with tests like chest x-rays. Treatment involves supportive care in the NICU, surfactant replacement therapy, and careful monitoring to prevent complications.

Ruptured Uterus
Rupture of the uterus can occur spontaneously during pregnancy or labor due to factors like previous scarring or being a grand multipara. It can also be caused by trauma during procedures like external version or the use of oxytocics. Diagnosis involves abdominal pain and tenderness along with signs of shock. Treatment involves resuscitation and laparotomy to perform a hysterectomy, repair the rupture, or repair and perform a sterilization. Preventive measures include careful monitoring of at-risk mothers and avoiding unnecessary interventions.
NEONATAL RESUSCITATION 2022.pptx
Neonatal resuscitation is an intervention performed on babies after birth to help them breathe and for their heart to beat properly. It is needed for about 10% of babies who have trouble transitioning from receiving oxygen from the placenta to breathing on their own. Proper neonatal resuscitation training and equipment can reduce infant mortality from complications during birth by 30%.
Labour management
The document discusses the role of nurses in managing labor. It describes the four stages of labor and the nurse's responsibilities in each stage. The first stage involves cervical dilation and has three phases. The second stage is the birth of the baby. The third stage involves delivery of the placenta. The fourth stage involves recovery after birth. The nurse monitors progression, provides comfort, maintains safety, and documents the process.
Intussusception (2)
Intussusception is the telescoping of one part of the intestine into another part and is most common in children under 2 years old. The classic presentation includes intermittent abdominal pain, a sausage-shaped abdominal mass, and currant jelly stools. Ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic method and shows a target or "doughnut" sign. Treatment involves rehydration and antibiotics if infected. Non-operative reduction using hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure is usually attempted first but surgery may be needed if reduction fails or there are signs of perforation or necrosis. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, mortality from intussusception is less than 1%.
Newborn assessment
The document provides information on neonatal assessment. It discusses the purposes of newborn assessment including understanding well-being, detecting disease early, and determining needed treatment. It outlines the different phases of assessment including initial, transitional, and assessment of gestational age and systems. The initial assessment involves Apgar scoring. The document details the process for physical examinations of various body systems and measurements. Key reflexes of newborns are also outlined.
Gastrointestinal Problems In Children
Intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies consisting of tubular or spherical structures attached to the intestine with a shared blood supply and intestinal lining. They are classified into 3 categories: localized duplications occurring anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, duplications associated with spinal cord anomalies, and duplications of the colon associated with urinary/genital anomalies. Clinical manifestations include bowel obstruction, abdominal pain, and palpable masses. Diagnosis is based on history and physical exam. Treatment involves surgical resection and management of any associated defects.
Tracheo esophageal fistula
This document discusses the anatomy, embryology, classification, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF). It notes that TEF occurs due to incomplete separation of the foregut during embryological development. The classification system describes the different types of atresia and fistula presentations. Surgical repair aims to divide the fistula and perform an end-to-end anastomosis of the esophageal pouches. Long-term complications can include tracheomalacia, gastroesophageal reflux, and swallowing and motility issues.

measuring of fundal height.pptx
Fundal height is a measurement taken during pregnancy to check baby's growth. It is measured from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus in centimeters. After 24 weeks, fundal height should generally match the number of weeks pregnant within 2 centimeters. The document provides instructions on how to measure fundal height using a tape measure from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus.
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis
NEC is the most common life-threatening emergency of the gastrointestinal tract in the newborn period. The disease is characterized by various degrees of mucosal or transmural necrosis of the intestine. The cause of NEC remains unclear but is most likely multifactorial. The incidence of NEC is 1-5% of infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Both incidence and case fatality rates increase with decreasing birthweight and gestational age. Because very small, ill preterm infants are particularly susceptible to NEC, a rising incidence may reflect improved survival of this high-risk group of patients.
Clinical Manifestations
Infants with NEC have a variety of signs and symptoms and may have an insidious or sudden catastrophic onset (Table 96-1). The onset of NEC is usually in the 2nd or 3rd week of life but can be as late as 3 mo in VLBW infants. Age of onset is inversely related to gestational age. The 1st signs of impending disease may be nonspecific, including lethargy and temperature instability, or related to gastrointestinal pathology, such as abdominal distention and gastric retention. Obvious bloody stools are seen in 25% of patients. Because of nonspecific signs, sepsis may be suspected before NEC. The spectrum of illness is broad, ranging from mild disease with only guaiac-positive stools to severe illness with bowel perforation, peritonitis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, shock, and death. Progression may be rapid, but it is unusual for the disease to progress from mild to severe after 72 hr.
Diagnosis
A very high index of suspicion in treating preterm at-risk infants is crucial. Plain abdominal radiographs are essential to make a diagnosis of NEC. The finding of pneumatosis intestinalis (air in the bowel wall) confirms the clinical suspicion of NEC and is diagnostic; 50-75% of patients have pneumatosis when treatment is started (Fig. 96-4). Portal venous gas is a sign of severe disease, and pneumoperitoneum indicates a perforation (Figs. 96-4 and 96-5). Hepatic ultrasonography may detect portal venous gas despite normal abdominal roentgenograms .

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
