respiration
|
|

|
7. crying
|
|
what is best stage to feed infant?
|
4. quiet/alert
|
|
what things can you do to have infant respond better to feeding?
|
change enviroment
use blankets for support give infant a time-out swaddle/contain limbs support hands/feet use gentle/slow movements offer one mode of stimulation |
|
what are some disorders taht can affect the GI tract in children?
|
reflux
malabsorption disorders necrotizing enterocolitis |
|
at what age does the brain reach 90% of its volume?
|
10 years
|
|
at birth the hard palage and larynx are how large?
|
1 inch
|
|
in an infant the soft palate touches the
|
epiglottis
|
|
at birth the trachea is located at
|
C6
|
|
facial area grows _________ than cranium after age 1
|
faster
|
|
higher placed larynx helps protect airway; when does this protection disappear?
|
24 months
|
|
5 ways respiration can be reduced as it relates to swallowing
|
1. reduced patency of pharyngeal airway
2 hypopharyngeal compression caused by position of anatomic structures 3 normal physiologic neck flexion 4 mandibular excursion that recuces pharyngeal cavity 5 small laryngeal vestibule |
|
belly breathing is abnormal after
|
6 months
|
|
why is trach tube good for infants who need support for breathing?
|
because there is not enough space for intubation between the vocal folds and trach guarantees airway
|
|
last efforts for children who are at risk for death because of aspiration are:
|
1 epiglottic pull-down
2 laryngeal bypass 3 total laryngectomy (not reversible) |
|
In suckling:
|
-birth-6 months
-loose lips, reduced seal, tongue seals nipple -wide mandibular excursions -tongue moves in and out |
|
in sucking:
|
-6-9 months and on
-tight lip seal, reduced tongue seal -reduced mandibular excursion -tongue moves up and down -more sophisticated |
|
in sucking:
|
-6-9 months and on
-tight lip seal, reduced tongue seal -reduced mandibular excursion -tongue moves up and down -more sophisticated |
|
oral feedings are not recommended in premature infants until they weigh:
|
at least 1500 grams
|
|
santmyer swallow reflex is:
|
puff of air onto the infant's face and is used to aid the insertion of nasogastric tubes, force a swallowing during behavioral feeding therapy, and help during videofluoroscopic evaluations of swallowing
|
|
Swallowing requires:
|
-large area of brain stem
-six cranial nerves -large number of sensory receptors -thirty-one pairs of muscles |
|
sensory input for swallowing is from cranial nerves:
|

|
|

|
5,7,9,10,12

|
commercial infant formulas generally carry ___ calories/ounce instead of standard 20 calories/ounce
|
24 ounces (more concentrated)
|
|
if an infant does not demonstrate a normal non-nutritive suck, he or she .....
|
will NOT exhibit a normal nutritive suck and is NOT ready for oral feedings
|
|
Some indications of poor tolerance to high calorie load are :
|
1. presence of sugar or fat in the stool
2 high urine-specific gravity 3 vomiting 4 diarrhea |
|
good general suggestions for feeding include:
|
-include at least one food the child likes
-consider the texture and preferences child has -offer high calorie snacks but limit those that are high in fat (they decrease appetite) -serve food at regular times each day -offer young children 4-6 meals/snacks every 2-4 hours |
|
which enteral type of tubes are used for long-term feeding problems?
|
-nasoduodenal and nasojejunal tubes

apnea and bradycardia monitor:
|
-monitors breathing and heart rate and will monitor staff with an alarm
Apnea: cessation of breathing that lasts longer than 20 seconds Bradycardia: when heart rate drops below 80 beats per minute |
|
what does a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) do?
|
-administration of oxygen and air under pressure through short tubes placed in the nose; improves oxygenation
|
|
positive end expiration pressure (PEEP)
|
machine to maintain constant pressure to the alveoli, keep alveoli open at all times, and promote gas exchange (SIMILAR TO CPAP BUT MORE PRESSURE TO LUNGS)

|
pulse oximeter is a...
|
machine that measures the amount of saturated oxygen in the infant's blood
