Question
Answer
What is the neonatal period   birth to 28th day of life  
🗑
what are 2 phases of transition period for neonate   1st/2nd periods of reactivity  
🗑
what happens in 1st period of reactivity   lasts up to 30 min. after birth, HR incr to 160-180, then falls to 100-120. May have crackles, grunting, nasal flaring, retractions of chest (all signs of resp distress usually)  
🗑
what is 2nd period of reactivity   4-8 hrs after birth, tachy/tachypnea, meconium passed, incr muscle tone, color, spitty/gaggy  
🗑
what are normal respirations for newborn   30-60 b/min with periodic breathing(pauses), apnea(stop 5-15sec) nose breathers, suction mouth first  
🗑
what are 4 causes of respiration in NB   chemical: pH more acidic, incr CO2, decr O2 mechanical:squeeze in vag canal (C-sect not, so hard to get pink) Thermal: shock stimulates to breath Sensory: lights, smells, snds, touch, gravity  
🗑
what is surfactant and how help lungs   keep alveoli walls from being sticky and collapsing, lowers surface tension, so less inspiratory pressure needed to keep alveoli open Peaks - 35 wks  
🗑
what is Functional Residual Capacity   Air that resides in lung to keep open  
🗑
What happens to HR in baby   birth: 110-140 cry: 175-180 sleep: 80-90  
🗑
How asses NB HR   ascultate 1 min., murmurs normal if stay pink  
🗑
Normal NB BP   NB: 60/40, 80/50 1st hour: drop 15mm 10 days: 95/45, 100/75  
🗑
How does circulation change to neonate   300ml with 100ml incr. Preterm > term b/c > plasma vol. Late clamping of cord incr volume  
🗑
what are lab values for NB   Hb: 14-24, Hct: 44-64%, then drops WBCs 1st day incr (23,000-24) then drop to 11,500  
🗑
what are signs of resp distress   >160, retractions, flaring of nares, cyanosis, grunting, seesaw resp, asymmetry  
🗑
why a risk of hemorrhaging and clotting deficiency   No Vit K at birth, casue gut is sterile adn made from intestinal bacteria. Give IM of Vit. K  
🗑
what is normal blood glucose   40-60mg/dl adult: 70-110  
🗑
what is thermogenesis   non-shivering, how does baby keep warm, brown fat adn incr metabolic activity in brain, heart, liver  
🗑
what does cold stress do to baby   vasoconstricts, decr 02 to lungs and perfusion to tissues, anaerobic glycolysis then acidosis = hypoglycemia  
🗑
what are four methods of heat loss   conduction: heat loss w/ contact, warmed crib Convection: heat loss from air mvmt, cap/blanket radiation: heat loss, no contact, away from windows evaportation: dry after bath  
🗑
what is TNZ, thermal neutral zone for full term   89.6-93.2F, lower for adults, higher for preterm  
🗑
what enzymes are not produced in NB   lipase, pancreatic amylase (6mos), amlase(3mos)  
🗑
when is meconium seen   1st 24-48 hours, sterile 3rd day - transitional stools 4th - milk stools  
🗑
Sucking reflexes are coordinated wtih swallowing by when   after 33wks  
🗑
what is jaundice   manifestation of bilirubin in tissues above 5mg/dl  
🗑
when is iron stored for NB   stored in utero  
🗑
what is kernicterus   yellow staining of brain cells lead to bilirubin encephalopathy. s/s: CNS depression/excite, lethargy, seizures  
🗑
what is normal values of unconjugated bilirubin   0.2 - 1.4 jaundice not good if before 24 hrs  
🗑
what is caput succedaneum   swelling of scalp, cross suture line  
🗑
what is cephalhematoma   blood underneath, not cross suture line, may cause jaundice  
🗑
what is subaleal hematoma   Bleeding beyond bone vital to early detect, monitor LOC and decr Hct  
🗑
what is telangiectatic nevic   stork bite, fades  
🗑
what is erythema toxicum   newborn rash  
🗑
what is vernix caseosa   cheese like coating after birth  
🗑
what is milia   sebaceous glands (white pearls)  
🗑
what is nevus flammeus   port wine, permanent  
🗑
what is desquamation   peeling, sign of post maturity  
🗑
what determines term infant in reproductive system   F: vag discharge, not as edematous M: rugae on scrotum, lgr,  
🗑
what do signs of asymmetry of folds of skin in legs indicate   hip dysplagia, do Ortolani Test  
🗑
what is polydatyly? syndactyly?   poly: xtra digits syn: fused digits  
🗑
Know these reflexes   moro(startle), plantar grasp, Babinski(foot), rooting, suck, fencing(tonic neck), stepping when upright, crossed extension  
🗑
These help determine term or preterm   posture: flexed/extended square window: bend hand/not arm recoil, popliteal angle, scarf sign, heel to ear: term fights plantar creases: lots/smooth ear boing!  
🗑
what is witche's milk   baby discharge from breast  
🗑
what is optimum awake state   quiet alert others: drowsy/active alert/crying  
🗑
what is habituation   expose to same stimuli, decr response  
🗑
