| large for gest age | when cord cut, cuts off sugar supply but baby has too much insulin and seizes |
| post mature | decreased subcutaneous tissue, dry baby due to low nutrition due to placenta quitting |
| Skin exam | color, rashes, nevi |
| hemangiomas | most not present at birth |
| sucking baby | eyes open! |
| epicanthal folds | (nasal side) - seen in Downs Syndrome |
| Conjunctivitis on day 1 | m/c cause chemical (due to silver nitrates on skin around eye) |
| conjunctivitis on day 2 | m/c cause gonorrhea |
| conjunctivitis on day 3 or later | due to chlamydia **watch out for pneumonia! |
| Head exam | shape, fontanelles, swelling, lesions, face |

| what happens if pressure at inner canthus doesnt open lacrimal duct and the baby is <1 yr? | the optho will not probe it because too young |
| mouth exam | palate, tongue, ebsteins pearls, supernummerary teeth |
| palate | feel to make sure its intact - may have submucosal cleft |
| submucosal cleft | looks intact but isnt and will create speech problemes |
| high arched palates | associated with developmental and congenital anomalies |
| ebsteins pearls | occlusion cysts midline palate or on gum, look like teeth, benign, rupture and go away |
| supernummerary teeth | babys permanent teeth - no problem |
| neck exam | masses, sinus tracts, clavicles |
| clavicle fractures | many miss this! palpate for crepitus, heal spontaneously |
| masses | SCM lesions, branchial cleft rests; goiter - mom may be hypothyroidism |
| cystic hygroma | seen laterally |
| sinus tracts | remnants of fetal development - dont cause major problems |
| thyroglossal ducts | normally travels down but may not finish and may find mass/ draining sinus midline - dont remove until you know if it is the thyroid since they are small in newborns! |
| newborn breast engorgement | may leak milk as mom breast feeds - normal due to moms hormones |
| normal resp rate of newborn | 40 |
| tachypnea of newborn | >60 |

| umbilical veins | 1 |
| umbilical artery | carries blood to placenta |
| umbilical vein | carries O2 blood to fetus! |
| single umbilical artery | possible malformation in Cardiovascular, CNS, GI, Renal, Karyotypic syndromes |
| Male genital exam | make sure testes are down, look for hydrocele, hernia, hypospadius |
| hypospadius | opening of urethra is any place other than tip; if severe, cant have circumscision because you need the skin to repair it |
| female genital exam | normal to have mucoid or bloody discharge in breast fed babies due to maternal hormones |
| Back exam | look for any skin abnormality overlying the cord because the skin and NS are derived from the same germ layer (neurocutaneous disorders) |
| hips | dislocation, especially in breech deliveries - make sure you call it developmental dysplasia of hips (not congenital dislocation of hips because not always found at birth) |
| m/c finding with dysplastic hip | abduction |
| Galazzi sign | knees bent with feet on mattress - is one knee higher than the other? the lower knee is the subluxed hip |
| barlow maneuver | attempt to dislocate the hip - you abduct and push up and feel it slip out the glenoid |

| developmental dysplasia of hips | evaluate the hips every visit until they walk |
| when will the cord fall off around? | 2-6 weeks |

| baby doesnt cry because has gas | passing gas because right before they cry they take a deep breath in and bear down |
| when do you do a spinal tap and check for sepsis? | if baby is <1 month and has 101 F; <2 months and has 102 F; <3 months and has 103 F |
| elevated bili | 1.increased production - due to increased hemolysis 2.impaired handling - due to immaturity or liver disease 3.increased reabsorption from intestine |
| Normal adult Hb | 12-15 |
| normal baby Hb | 20 HbF (more Hb) because placental O2 is lower therefore once born, air O2 is higher and they break down the extra blood |
| septic jaundice | high direct bili |
| polycythemia | due to delayed cord clamping (increases blood volume) can cause jaundice |
| Jaundice of term infants | begins 2-3 days and gone by day 7 |
| premies jaundice | begins day 4-5 and gone by day 14 |
| c-section <38 weeks | increase bili and jaundice because more immature liver |

| Jaundice | starts at head and works down so check soles to see how far along they are |
| kernicteris | yellow staining of brain |
| high direct bili | very bad! |
| high direct bili | caused by sepsis, infection, hemolytic disease, cystic fibrosis |
| Increased indirect bili | most are fine; it is physiologic but look at Coombs test |
| Coombs test | isoimmunization; if positive have Rh or ABO incompatablility |
| ABO incompatability | mom is O because has anti a and anti b and baby is either a or b |
| If coombs was negative | measure Hb next - if Hb high, baby is polycythemic (tomato) |
| causes of high Hb | twin transfusion, maternal-fetal transfusion, delayed cord clamping, small for gest age |
| If Hb low | look at reticulocyte count - if normal, there is nothing wrong with the RBC and high bili due to cephalohematoma, high enterohepatic circulation, infreq stool, bowel obstr, neonatal asphyxia (no heart beat) |
| If reticulcytes high | ask hematologist to look at smear |
| characteristic smear cells | spherocytosis (abnormal, rupture in spleen) |
| how is spherocytosis dx? | family hx of anemia |
| nonspecific smear cells | G6PD deficiency (causing the increased indirect bili) |
| risks for hyperbili | -born before 38 wks -sibling w/jaundice -mother exclusively breastfeeding - causes excess hormones to be metabolized by immature liver -visibly jaundice at <24 hrs |
| risk for hypoglycemia | small for gest age |
| risk for hypoglycemia | diabetic moms |
| risk for hypoglycemia | premie, postmatures, stressed infants |
| hypoglycemia symptoms | may be asymptomatic |
| lumbar puncture | differentiates between sepsis and meningitis |
| transplacental bacterial infections | syphilis, lyme, TORCH |

| number 1 etiology of sepsis | group B strep (women are colonized in vag flora) |
| early onset sepsis | types I and II; prevented by IV ABX to mom & screenings |
| late onset sepsis | type III; presents as pneumonia and you die |
| respiratory distress syndrome | most freq cause of resp distress in newborn; results from lack of surfactant |
| xray of respiratory distress syndrome | ground glass appearance |
| tx resp distress syndrome | tx like baby has GroupB strep because the xray looks the same |
| most common pneumonia | Group B strep |
| Crack/cocaine use | 3rd leading cause of birth defects assoc with mental retardation |

| Heroin&Methadone | infants go through withdrawal; with methadone symptoms are more severe and longer - irritable, tremors, seizures, high-pitched cry |
| barbiturates | symptoms delayed; due to the slow metabolism & excretion by the immature liver |
| opiods | increased risk for resp distress & seizures |
| leading cause of death in 1st yr of life after newborn period | SIDS; most common between 2-6mos |
| cows milk based formula brands | enfamil, similac, goodstart |
| cows milk based formula protein source | skim milk (cow) |
| cows milk based formula fat source | soy, coconut, safflower oils |
| cows milk based formula carb source | lactose |
| Lactose | the sugar in breastmilk is lactose so you cant be lactose intolerant at birth |
