facial
in the embryo, the 12 cranial nerves are present at:
5-6 weeks
when does the hard/soft palate fuse?
12 weeks
what two things happen during weeks 13-16
1. body length doubles
2 pharyngeal swallow begins
what 3 things happen in weeks 17-20
1. pharyngeal swallow strengthens
2 fetus swallows 50% of amniotic fluid
3 suckling begins
weeks 21-25 what happens?
1. fetus may survive outside uterus
2. upper and lower respiratory development
weeks 26-29 what happens?
1 primitive reflexes begin
2 lungs may be capable of breathing air with difficulty
weeks 30-33...
premature infant is still unable to suck, swallow, breathe in coordinated way
weeks 34-36
1 premature infants can be breast or bottle fed
2 most infants can sustain nutrition orally
weeks 37-40, what is average weight and length at birth?
7 lbs, 19 inches
what is most compromised in premature infants
respiration
infant stages of alertness go from 1. deep sleep to
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
motor output for swallowing is from cranial nerves:
5,7,9,10,12
1 cc=
1 ml
t tsp=
5 ml
1 tbsp =
15 ml
1 oz =
30 ml
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
respirator is AKA
ventilator (provides respiratory support)
what is synaction?
belief that premature infants learn to adapt to the stresses in the environment through the interaction of physiologic, motor and behavioral processes
Absolutely do not feed at what stage?
Stage 1
motor development progresses from....
head to toe (head control before many other movements)
at birth, average length from the 1st cervial vertebra to the fifth lumbar vertebra is
19-20 cm (40% of the total length
tongue movement is developed and pretty normal by
24 months
lungs in newborn are proportionally large in comparison to size of the
thorax
