CF affects which exocrine glands sweat glands, pancreas, lungs
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency causes what in CF patients sever decrease in digestive enzymes causing decreased digestive enzymes, malnutrition and diarrhea and sometimes diabetics
The standard test for CF is the sweat test, checks for increased sodium and chloride in perspiration
A positive sweat test is what greater than 60 mEg/L Cl
Does CF affect sterility? yes in males
What is an autosomal disease hereditary with both parents carriers, 50% chance of offspring being a carrier, 25% chance offspring having disease, 25% no disease no carrier

Newborns with in 2 days present with what, are highly suggestive of CF meconium illeus (blocked poop)
The most common signs of CF are digital clubbing, chronic sinusitis, crackles in upper lobes
CF CXR will show hyperinflation due to always trying to take deep breaths
Why do CF patients have cor pulmonale chronic hypoxemia
The best way to treat and prevent respiratory tract infections in CF is bronchial hygiene
CPT in CF postural drainage, percussion, PEP and flutter
Percussion in CF 2-3 mins in 10 diff postural drainage positions for adequate clearance 45 minutes total 3-4 times per day
Bronchial hygiene in CF includes CPT, hydration of secretions, pt and family education, antibiotics, bronchodilators, pulmonzyme (dnase mucolytic), O2 therapy PRN, lung transplant

Supraglottic involves not just epiglottis, but also aryepiglotic fold and arytenoids cartilages (folds around the hole)
Epiglottitis acute inflammation and selling of the supraglottic structures and partial or complete upper airway obstruction…a true airway emergency for 2-6 yr olds
Why is epiglottitis not as common as it once was development of the H-flu vaccine
How can we differentiate Epiglottitis from croup drooling, pt with Epiglottitis cannot swallow so they are big droolers
Symptoms of Epiglottitis high fever, sore throat, toxic appearance, apprehensive/irritated, drooling, muffled voice but not hoarse, inpir stridor, tachycardic, no cough, sterna retractions
Dx of Epiglottitis lateral neck xray with oblong swollen epiglottis with thumb print, ballooning of the hypopharynx
Tx of Epiglottitis first priority in all cases is establishing artificial airway, ETT 1 size smaller, o2 for hypozemia, monitor SaO2, freq spO2 & vitals, cyanotic O2 with blow by, sedation PRN, cultures, ICU 24-48 hrs, antibiotics, IV fluid, humidity, CPT if secretions
What is the most common cause of upper airway obstructions in children croup
What is the most common cause of croup acute laryngotracheobronchitis LTB

What causes LTB parainfluenza type I is most common at 75%, RSV, flue and mycoplasma pneumonia at 25%
Is the onset of Epiglottitis fast or slow very fast 4-5 hours
Is the onset of croup fast or slow slow 2-3 days
Symptoms of croup are swelling of subglottic area leading to partial obstruction, inspiratory stridor, hoarse, barking cough, low grad or no fever, suprasternal reatractions tachypnea, prefers to lie down
1mm of edema in subglottic area can lead to how much decrease in airflow 60%
Moderate stages of croup symptoms will be anxious, increased WOB, audible stridor, decreased breath sounds, dyspneic, decreased PaO2
Severe stages of croup symptoms will be increased anxiety, lethargic, dusky or cyanotic, pronounced stridor, barely audible, breath sounds way decreased, gasping totally exhausted leading to respiratory failure
DX of croup neck xray with hourglass or steeple sign, ballooning hypopharynx, lateral neck will have normal epiglottis
Tx of Croup cool mist, O2, racemic epi, hydration, primary caregiver present, steroids, avoid intubation if possible
Spasmodic croup accours with prodrome, child just wakes with barking cough, hoarseness and insp stridor
Prodrome is with out precursor symptoms
RX for spasmodic croup cool mist or cool nite air, usually gone after a nite or two
Bacterial tracheitis aka pseudomembranous croup
Bacterial tracheitis is a rare bacterial croup that looks like LTB, but have staph. 25% have sudden repiatory arrest
RX bachterial tracheitis IV antibiotics, humidity for crusty secretions, bronchoscopy to remove obstructive exudates, artificial airway for airway mgmt and pulm toilet, intub, long resolution, trach is often
ICU with bacterial tracheitis when stridor at test, suprasternal chest wall retractions, SaO3 less 95% on 50% fio2, vapo, heliox, Decadron, intubate
Bronchiolitis is highly contagious acute infection of the lower respiratory tract that causes inflammation, swelling and constriction of the bronchioles and small bronchi
What causes Bronchiolitis RSV
What precautions need to be taken with bronchiolitus gown, mask, gloves shower and change prior to picking up own kids

Most severe symptoms of bronchiolitis lasts for how long 2 to 3 days
CXR in bronchiolitis looks like hyperinflation, peribronchiolar thickening, patchy consolidation
How is bronchiolitis diagnosed presents with rsv culture from nasopharynx positive with lower respiratory tract infection
Prevent rsv and bronchiolitis with immunoglobulin Synagis given monthy during winter
Hypoxemia in kids is SPO2 less than 92% and PaO2 less than 70 mmhg
Drugs for bronchiolitis are albuterol and racemic epi, hydration and antibiotics and cpt
