Question
Answer
Aspiration   when foreign objects are swallowed into the air passages of the bronchial tree; most likely right bronchus because of size and angle of divergence  
🗑
Asthma   airways are narrowed by stimuli that do not affect the airways in normal lungs; labored breathing, increased mucus in the lungs  
🗑
Atelectasis   collaspse of all or portion of a lung because of obstruction of bronchus or puncture  
🗑
Bronchiectasis   widening of bronchi due to acute infection of congenital abnormality  
🗑
Croup   narrowing of upper airway resulting in labored breathing, harsh, dry cough  
🗑
Cystic Fibrosis   inherited disease which results in heavy mucous which clog's bronchi, bronchioles  
🗑

🗑
Meconium   a dark green secretion of the liver and intestinal glands mixed with some amniotic fluid  
🗑
Meconium Aspiration   during birth fetus under stress passes meconium stools during into amniotic fluid and inhales it into the lungs; causes airway to collapse causing rupture; pneumothorax or atelectasis  
🗑
Epiglottitis   bacterial infection of the epiglottitis; blockage of the airway caused by swelling; a serious condition that can rapidly become fatal (within hours of onset); exam done in upright position by a specialist  
🗑
Hyaline Membrane Disease (HMD)   now called respiritory distress syndrome (RDS); alveoli and capillaries are injured or infected resulting in leakage of fluid or blood into lung spaces  
🗑
Neoplasia   formation of tumor/neoplasm in the respiratory tract  
🗑
Pneumonia   accumulation of fluid within the lungs  
🗑
Pneumothorax   air in the pleural spaces causing partial or total collapse of the lung; may be caused by trauma or a pathologic condition  
🗑
Pneumomediastinum   air leaks from the air sacs into the soft tissue between the lung and heart  
🗑
Diaphragmatic Hernia   a tear in the diaphragm which results in protrusion of abdominal contents through the diaphragm and into the lungs  
🗑
Congenital goiter   an enlarged thyroid at birth caused by an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)  
🗑
Cretinism   Hypothyroidism; slow bone growth or possible drawfism  
🗑
Neonatal Graves' disease   Hyperthyroidism in adults; inherited from mom with Graves' disease; life-threatening; enlarged thyroid can press against the airway and close it causing difficult breathing; eyes protrude  
🗑
Craniostenosis   deformity of the skull caused by premature closure of skull structures; most common is sagittal suture  
🗑
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)   older term is congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH); femoral hip is separated by the acetabulum; Ultrasound used to confirm; Pavlik Harness is used  
🗑
Hydrocephalus   enlarged ventricles from which the cerebrospinal fluid produced in the ventricles cannot drain; results in pressure buildup and overall enlargement of the head; shunts inserted into brain to alleviate pressure and fluid from the brain  
🗑
Idiopathic Juvenile Osteoporosis   bone becomes less dense and fragile  
🗑
Osteogenesis Imperfecta   hereditary disorder where bones are abnormally soft and fragile  
🗑
Osteomyelitis   infection of a long bone  
🗑
Osteochondrodysplasia   hereditary disorder in which bones grow abnormally, most of which cause dwarfism or short stature  
🗑
Achondroplasia   short limbed dwarfism, bone formation decreased at growth plates; usually affects upper and lower limbs, not torso  
🗑
Osteopetrosis   hereditary condition; results in an increase in bone density; usually present with skull abnormalities; common in African Americans; marble bone  
🗑
Osteochondromas/Osteochondrosis   affects the epiphyseal or growth plates of long bones; results in excessive bone growth protrusions extending from bone; very painful; deformities and abnormal bone growth  
🗑
Legg Calves Perthes disease   abnormal bone growth at the hip (head and neck) of the femur; results in a flattened head and later appears fragmented; overweight children ages 5-10yrs  
🗑
Kohler's bone disease   causes inflammation of bone and cartilage of the navicular bone of the foot; common in males 3-5yrs  
🗑
Osgood Schlatter's disease   inflammation of the tibial tuberosity (patella tendon attachment); results in a wearing away of the bone in this region; common in males 5-10yrs  
🗑
Osteomalacia (Rickets)   condition in which developing bones do not harden or calcify causing skeletal deformities; common sign is bowing legs or "Blount's disease)  
🗑
Spina Bifida   posterior aspect of the vertebrae fails to develop exposing part of the spinal cord; ultrasound used to diagnose before birth  
🗑
Spina Bifida Occulta   mild form of SB resulting in some defect or splitting of the posterior arch of L5 - S1; no protrusion of meninges or spinal cord  
🗑
Meningocele   severe form of SP; results in protrusion of the meninges through the undeveloped opening of the vertebrae; creates a cerebrospinal fluid filled bulge under the skin called a meningocele  
🗑
Myelocele   most severe case of SP; both meninge and spinal cord protrude from the vertebrae  
🗑
Talipes (Clubfoot)   congenital deformity of the foot  
🗑
Talipes Varus   inward, medial turning of foot (walk on outer portion of foot)  
🗑
