|
Complex, multicausal disorder that affects the developing blood vessels in the eyes; often associated with oxygen tensions that are too high for the level of retinal maturity, initially resulting in vasoconstriction and continuing problems after the oxygen is discontinued.
|
Retinopathy of prematurity ROP
|
|
|
Acute inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal mucosa commonly complicated by perforation; intestinal ischemia, colonization by pathogenic bacteria, and formula feeding all play an important role in its development.
|
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)
|
|
|
Occurs when the fetal shunt between the left pulmonary artery and the dorsal aorta fails to constrict after birth or reopens after constriction has occured
|
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)
|
|
|
Chronic lung disease with a multifactorial etiology that includes pulmonary immaturity, surfactant deficiency, lung injury and stretch, barotrauma, inflammation caused by oxygen exposure, fluid overload, ligation of a PDA, and genetic predisposition; it is primarily seen in infants weighing less than 1000g who are born at less than 28 weeks of gestation
|
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)
|
|
|
Lung disorder caused by a lack of pulmonary surfactant, which leads to progressive atelectasis, loss of functional residual capacity, and ventilation-perfusion imbalance with an uneven distribution of ventilation; it usually affects preterm infants and a small percentage of term and near term infants
|
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)
|
|
|
Combined findings of pulmonary hypertension, right to left shunting, and a structurally normal heart; it is also called persistent fetal circulation because the syndrome includes reversion to fetal pathways for blood flow.
|
Persistent Pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN)
|
|
|
One of the most common types of neurologic injuries encountered in the neonatal period and among the most severe in both short-term and long-term outcomes; pathogenesis includes intravascular factors, vascular factors, extravascular factors and routine nursery care.
|
Periventricular- intraventricular hemorrhage (PV-IVH)
|
|
|
What's a late sign of shock for baby?
|
hypotension
|
|
|
What is the normal range for specific gravity?
|
1.006-1.013
|
|
|
What would a specific gravity > 1.020 suggest?
|
dehydration
|
|
|
How is the length of tubing measured in a gavage tube?
|
measure from the tip of nose to lobe of ear to midpoint between xiphoid process and unbilicus.
|
|
|
How do you ease the passage of a gavage tube?
|
coat the tube with sterile water
|
|
|
How fast should the food flow in a gavage tube?
|
about 1 ml/min
|
|
|
How do you check placement of a gavage tube?
|
inject a small amount of air (1-3ml) into the tube while listening for gurgling by using a stethoscope placed over the stomach.
