| What are the indications to get a chest x-ray when evaluating for asthma | Atypical presentation, asymmetric breath sounds, suspicion of foreign body, lack of clinical improvement, worsening of clinical course, persistent oxygen requirement |
| What is the ideal asthma management | Daily anti-inflammatory agent plus PRN bronchodilator agent |
| What are the types of bronchodilators | Methylxanthine derivatives, beta-2 agonists, anti-cholinergics |
| What are the types of anti-inflammatories used for asthma | Mast cell stabilizers, steroids, leukotriene inhibitors, anti-IgE antibodies |
| What are the beta-2 agonists | Albuterol, levalbuterol (Xopenex), salmeterol (Serevent) |
| What are the anti-cholinergics | Atropine, ipratropium (Atrovent) |
| What are the mast cell stabilizers | Cromolyn (Intal), nedocromil (tilade) |
| What are the inhaled steroids | Beclomethasone (Qvar), triamcinolone (Azmacort), flunisolide (Aerobid), fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort) |
| Name two combo therapies for asthma | Advair (fluticasone and salmeterol), Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) |
| What are systemic steroids useful for when treating asthma | Acute attacks |
| How long should a patient be on systemic steroids for a mild to moderate flare | 3-5 days with no taper |
| How long should a patient be on systemic steroids for a moderate to sever flare | 5 days with taper as per clinical course |
| What are the short term side effects of systemic steroids | Increased appetite, wt gain, fluid retention, irritability |
| What are the long term side effects of systemic steroids | Growth suppression, adrenal suppression, immunosuppression, decreased bone density, hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts |
| What is the best way to asses inhaler canister fullness | Count the number of uses |
| What are inaccurate methods for determining canister fullness | Weight, sound, bone dry |
| Peak flow meters are very useful for __ | Following lung function at home |
| Peak flow reading of __ is in the green zone | >80% |
| Peak flow reading of __ is in the yellow zone | 50-80% |
| Peak flow reading of __ is in the red zone | <50% |
| What may be the possible reason for a patient on what appears to be a good asthma treatment plan that is still doing poorly | Not enough medication, confounding feature (allergies, GERD, CF), wrong diagnosis, suboptimal medication delivery (poor technique, poor adherence) |
| When should you refer your allergy patient | Acute life threatening attack, moderate to severe asthma, steroid dependent, atypical/complicated asthma, poor response to optimal therapy, confounding variables, more complicated diagnostic studies required |
| __% of the pediatric population experiences sleep apnea | 7-10 |
| What is the male female ration for sleep apnea in children before the onset of puberty | Male=female |
| What is the treatment plan for primary snoring | No intervention |
| Partial to complete upper airway obstruction during sleep, associated with O2 desaturations and or CO2 elevations | Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome |
| __% of the pediatric population experiences obstructive sleep apnea syndrome | 1-3 |
| Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome peaks at ages __ | 2-7 years |
| What are the possible etiologies of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea | Enlarged tonsils and or adenoids, obesity, craniofacial abnormalities, nasal polyps, chronic allergic rhinitis, pharyngeal infections |
| What are some complications of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea | Pulmonary hypertension, developmental delay, growth retardation, death, cor pulmonale, behavioral problems, failure to thrive |
| Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea while asleep | Snoring, observed apnea, resuscitative gasps, disturbed or restless sleep, paradoxical chest wall movements, observed difficulty breathing, enuresis |
| Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea while asleep | Mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, excessive daytime tiredness, behavioral problems, hyperactivity trouble concentrating |
| What are the respiratory parameters for obstructive apnea in children | Obstructive apnea for 2 or more breaths |
| What are the respiratory parameters for obstructive apnea in adults | Obstructive apnea for >10 seconds |
| What is the respiratory parameter for central apnea | Central apnea for > or = 20 seconds, any central apnea associated with an O2 desat >4% and or bradycardia |
| What is the parameter for hypopnea | Decreased in measured airflow of > or = 50% |
| The apnea index for children is >__ apneas/hour | 1 |
| The apnea index for adults is > __ apneas/hour | 5-10 |
| Treatment options for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea | Observation, surgery, wt loss, CPAP, dental appliance, medication |
| What are indications for surgery for obstructive sleep apnea | Failed CPAP therapy, patient not a candidate for CPAP therapy, surgically amenable problem |
| What is the key to successful surgery with obstructive sleep apnea | Correctly identifying the area of obstruction |
| What are the causes of obstruction in the nasopharynx | Turbinate enlargement, deviated septum, nasal polyps |
| What are the causes of obstruction in the oropharynx | Tonsillar hypertrophy, adenohypertrophy, macroglossia, adipose tissue |
| What are the causes of obstruction in the hypopharynx | Adipose tissue, macroglossia, mandibular size or structure abnormalities (micro/retrognathia) |
| What is the most common obstructive sleep apnea surgery in children | Adenotonsillectomy |
| What are the advantages of adenotonsillectomy | High safety record, very common, outpatient procedure, curative in many cases |
| What are the disadvantages of adenotonsillectomy | Pain, dehydration, bleeding, post-op swelling can transiently worsen obstructive sleep apnea, adenoids can grow back |
| Number of apneas decreases by up to __% for each 10% decrease in wt | 50 |
| CPAP complications | Nasal/oral dryness, epistaxis, nasal congestion, sneezing, rhinorrhea, sinusitis, claustrophobia, mask irritation, nasal abrasions, aerophagy, facial deformities, decreased cardiac output |
| Medications used for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea | Oxygen, thyroxine, theophylline, acetazolamide, medroxyprogesterone, antidepressants (SSRI, tricyclic) |
| What is the main difference between the treatment of adult vs pediatric obstructive sleep apnea | Surgery is comes before CPAP, and wt loss in for children |
| What is the difference in causes of pediatric vs adult obstructive sleep apnea | Children usually have enlarged tonsils and adenoids whereas adults are usually obese |
| What are the criteria for not sending a snoring child to get a polysomnogram for evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea | Patient > 2 yo, “classic” history, excellent underlying health, normal physical exam, no underlying risk factors, low risk for post-operative complications |
| What are the indications for sending a child for polysomnography | Snoring, witnessed apneas, restless sleep, excessive daytime tiredness, sleep disturbances, neuromuscular dz with FEV1 <40-50%, poorly controlled SS dz, unexplained pulm hypertension/cor pulmonale/polycythemia |
