Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)


URI? / 2/1000 leading COD in infants 1 mo to 1 year

chronic hypoxia? / sleep apnea? /

Reduce risk by sleeping in prone position
Pediatric Hematologic
Apt test – distinguishes fetal from maternal blood – useful in situations like vasa previa
Hyperbilirubinemia
Physiologic jaundice

physiologic jaundice occurs day 3-4 / 8-10mg/dL

2.5 kg infants – 6% have level above ?

12.9 mg/dl –– peak 4th day – cephalopedal progression / increased production, higher hematocrit (40-60 normal), decreased red cell survival (80 days), decreased ligandin, decreased glucoronyl transferase, decreases EH circulation


Asian >> Caucasian >> black

breastfeed > formula

males >> females

premature >> term

diabetic mother
Pathological jaundice

Definitions: clinical jaundice in 1st 24 hours

total bilirubin level rate of rise > 5 mg/dl/day

total serum bilirubin > 13 mg in term infant

direct serum bilirubin > 2 mg/dl at any time

clinical jaundice for > 1-2 weeks in a term infant

Mechanism: glucuronide transferase activity- adequate after several days / pregnanediol in mother’s milk inhibits conjugation

Causes:


  • excessive RBC breakdown (e.g. sepsis, erythroblastosis)

  • defects in uptake (galactosemia, tyrosinemia, hypo/hyperpituitary, breast milk jaundice, prematurity

Presentation:

Early: lethargy, poor feeding, loss of Moro reflex (usu. present to 6 months)

Later: rigidity, opisthotonos, cry, choreoathetosis, more

Course: 50% mortality, 80% of survivors with neurological sequelae (kernicterus - bile staining of CNS gray matter)

Treatment: phototherapy, hydration (not too much), exchange transfusion, phenobarbital?, albumin?
Photoisomerization

(blue light range) changes ZZ to ZE, which is excreted into bile

Also converted to lumirubin, which is excreted into the urine

Efficiency based on skin exposure, 15-20 cm from baby, eyes patched, turned frequently, bili blankets use fiberoptics and may increase the exposed surface area


Exchange transfusion

double volume exchange done through the umbilical vein and artery, infection,

hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia
Conjugated Hyperbilirubinemia

Diagnosis: LFT, liver ultrasound, bacterial and viral cultures, HIDA scan (biliary atresia, HIDA won’t be excreted into intestine)
More on Bilirubin Metabolism
unconjugated – indirect, lipid soluble

conjugated – direct, water soluble

Physiologic Jaundice
late onset breast milk jaundice

elevated 1st week

10-30 mg/dl by 10-15 days, continues for 3-12 weeks, levels normalize 48 hrs stopping breast feeding / can occur early – possibly related to dehydration

ABO incompatibility (see transfusion medicine)
most common hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN)

Most infants have only mild jaundice, observe for late onset of anemia

Some develop hyperbilirubinemia and require phototherapy

exchange transfusion is needed only occasionally

AO is the most common form
Rh incompatibility
Mild – phototherapy

Moderate – exchange transfusion


Anti-D globulin (RhoGAM), given at 28 weeks and at birth if infant is Rh+

  • Given to Rh- women who have miscarriages, abortions

  • Kleihauer-Betke test measures amount of fetal Hb in mother [wiki]

  • 1 ml can eliminate 10 ml of antigenic fetal cells


Congenital Disorders of Bilirubin Metabolism
Crigler-Najjar – infant death

absent UDP-glucuronide transferase / unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia / jaundice, kernicterus


Gilbert’s disease

milder form / unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia / Ddx: hemolysis



Treatment: plasmapheresis, phototherapy
Dubin-Johnson

conjugated bilirubinemia, defective secretion of bile / black liver, obstruction


Rotor’s syndrome

milder form


Pediatric GI
Necrotizing enterocolopathy (NEC)

80% are premature / susceptibility requires GI colonization

dive reflex lowers perfusion, lowers mucous / enzymes degrade, bacteria invade / perforation / DIC follows necrosis / fibrin covers perforation / pneumatosis intestinalis / multiple segments / reepithelialization 3 days / granulation 8-9 days / scar formation 6 months
Tracheoesophageal fistula (1/1000)

90% esophageal atresia w/ tracheal-lower esophageal fistula / H-type compatible w/ life

50% have associated malformations
Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (1/1000)

2-3 wks onset / 80% males / 1/3 first born / 10% associated malformations


Cleft palate

children with cleft palate or submucosal cleft palate should not have adenectomy because the adenoids help close of nasopharynx during speech


Duodenal

associated malformations / Down’s syndrome
Jejunum/Ileum

associated malformations rare / hydramnios / ischemia / acquired in utero / idiopathic < 2yrs old
Congenital Malrotations

associated with Ladd’s bands (cecum to ULQ, obstruct duodenum) / most cases present with vomiting in first few weeks (can be months, rarely up to 1 year) from Ladd’s band or midgut volvulus / a few remain asymptomatic / all infants with bilious vomiting are malrotation until proven otherwise



Congenital annular pancreas


most commonly presents with vomiting from duodenal obstruction
Meckel’s diverticulum (1/50) rule of 2’s

50% are gastric epithelium (can be other type) / males > female / 40-90 cm (2 feet) proximal to ileocecal valve on antimesenteric side / remnant of vitelline duct / 2% incidence (90% asymptomatic)

fixed duct  volvulus

inverted  lead point intussusception



Imaging: pertechnetate Tc-99 scan for gastric mucosal /barium may be useful

Complications: bleeding (50%, ulceration from acid), obstruction (25%), intussusception, volvulus, incarceration), perforation (20%)

Presentation: bleeding (1st LGI bleed in < 2 yrs), obstruction / may present w/ granuloma at umbilicus / associated malformations?

Ddx: celiac disease, others

Treatment: resection
Hirschprung’s (megacolon)

1 in 5000, 4:1 males



aganglionosis with hypertrophy of muscularis occurring in rectum (26%), sigmoid (53%), descending colon (10%) / dilatation of proximal segment / how far did the neurons not get?

meconium plug syndrome (not that common) – liberated by barium enema? -

20-25% of neonatal obstructions

trisomy 21 / 2.5% w/ megaloureters



Presentation: FTT, constipation, distention, vomiting, perforation, enterocolitis / 70% 0-3 months / 10% 4-12 months 17% 1-5 yrs

enterocolitis has a 30% mortality; 20-30% of mortality? is GN sepsis (rarely over 2 yrs old, 2/3 under 3 months), 50% pseudomembranous – (maybe C. difficile, other normal flora in many cases)
Diagnosis:

  1. barium enema (send to pediatric radiologists)

  2. anorectal manometry

  3. suction biopsy (sub-mucosal plexus, 3-4 cm proximal to pectinate line, don’t do it too distally)

  4. full thickness biopsy (myenteric plexus, again use experienced pediatric pathologist, ganglion cells, nerve trunks, etc.)


Acquired megacolon

Chagas disease - trypanosomes destroy plexi

obstruction -neoplasm or inflammatory stricture

toxic megacolon - ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease

psychosomatic disorder
?idiopathic megacolon – common – onset 2-3 yrs – fecal soiling (never in HD) - even from 0-12 yrs age – abdominal distension rare – infrequent, hard stools
cholase DOES NOT really work for constipation

the case against mineral oil – pt’s don’t like leaking, staining clothes

stimulant cathartics are not recommended for long term use

Lactulose – stool softener / biofeedback has similar success (more cumbersome therapy)


Encoprosis (very common)
Atresia and stenosis

duodenum (most common) / atresia more than stenosis / double-bubble (air in proximal duodenum and stomach, associated with Down’s)


Congenital diaphragmatic hernia

usually occurs on left, posterolateral defect (foramen of Bochdalek) / heart pushed to the right side / unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia other malformations / eventration (elevated diaphragm with attenuated muscle) / scaphoid abdomen / 100% mortality if left untreated


Omphalocele

Membrane covering / larger defect, may contain liver / associated abnormalities in 50% (pentalogy of Cantrell: diaphragmatic hernia, cardiac, omphalocele, pericardial defect, sternal cleft) / 1 in 5000



Treatment: fluids, antibiotics, surgery
Gastroschisis

No membrane covering, thickened bowel / R > L (of cord) / 2-4 cm / less common than

omphalocele, intestinal atresia in 10-15% (but no other associations) / complications: hypothermia,

hypovolemia, sepsis, metabolic acidosis, NEC, prolonged ileus



Treatment: similar to omphalocele (90% survival)
Pediatric Liver Disease (see liver)

Congenital Heart Disease
ASD, VSD, TOF, transposition, AV valve malformations, PDA, coarctation,

Genetic Syndromes



Down’s, Turner’s, Edward’s, Marfan’s, Prader-Willi, congenital deafness, JLN, William’s
1 in 50 births / ¼ of all major malformations

1) VSD

2) HLH

3) TOF
there are some lesion that are difficult to detect by fetal echo, such as small to moderate size VSD’s, coarctation, minor valve abnormalities, and of course, persistence of an ASD or a PDA (can be diagnosed after the baby is born)


ASD


  • Ostium secundum (most common) / Lutembacher’s – secundum defect and acquired MS

  • Ostium primum defect – endocardial cushion / MR

  • Sinus venosus (2-3%)

Usually asymptomatic until 40s / DOE, RHF, pulmonary HTN (50% over 40 yrs)

Complications: MR, MS, paradoxical embolism,

Findings: wide fixed (or not), split S2, incomplete RBB on ECG (rSr or rsR)

Treatment: surgical correction (risk 1-3%) or catheter based insertion of corrective device / treatment is recommended even in patients from time of diagnosis to over 60 yrs
VSD
Infracristal (80%) - 4 other defects

Supracristal - truncus arteriosis

Single ventricle - transposition of great arteries
Course: may close spontaneously before < 10 yrs / L to R shunt with Qp:Qs > 1.5 will cause problems

Findings: loud pansystolic murmur and/or systolic thrill on LLS border, increased pulmonary arterial pressure, PaO2 from RA to RV increases from 60 to 80 mm Hg / S2 splitting?

Treatment:


  • afterload reduction (nitrates, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation)

  • repair VSD at earliest sign of heart failure (urgent)

Small shunt  usually do not repair small defects / small minority can develop TR/AR

Moderate shunt catheterization for evaluation and surgical or balloon repair / post-repair residual patency rate (20%), re-operation rate (5%), RBB (30-60%), heart block (10%), SCD (2%)
Eisenmenger’s syndrome

may occur from ASD > VSD or aortopulmonary shunt / progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance leads to reversal of shunting / leads to progressive AR from prolapse of aortic valve leaflet / no longer candidates for surgery, so no need for invasive studies / clubbing in toes > left arm > right arm



Ddx (for cyanosis): Ebstein’s anomaly, TOF, truncus arteriosis
Truncus Malformations
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)

  1. Dextroposition of aorta (overriding aorta)

  2. right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH)

  3. pulmonary valve stenosis

  4. infracristal VSD

cyanosis within 1 day, may be late in TOF (mild case may present up to 2 yrs old)

RV tap +/- thrill

loud & single S2, +/- murmur

EKG shows RAD + RVH (? LVH in pulmonary artery)

CXR – boot-shaped heart

Echocardiogram - ?


TOF hypoxic spells (blue or tet spells)

precipitating causes: bowel movement, crying with hunger, finger stick, etc

leads to irritability, loss of consciousness, acidosis, tachypnea, air hunger, increasing cyanosis

Treatment: rest, oxygen, knee-chest position (squatting), morphine, bicarbonate, beta-blockers, general anesthesia, emergency shunt (thought to increase systemic resistance and decrease R-L shunting)
Treatment:

Treat hypoxic spells (above), PGE1 (opens ductus arteriosis), balloon atrial septostomy

surgery – switch (RV is not capable, long term develops aortic insufficiency)

venous – mustard or senning

arterial – before 2-3 weeks of life
Must increase blood flow to lungs!


  • before 6 months – systemic (aorta or subclavian if older) to pulmonary artery shunt (Blalock-Taussig or modification, Waterston-Cooley or modification, Pott’s)

  • after 6 months - corrective surgery (switch has been done 15-18 yrs, so far with good success?)


Truncus Arteriosus

supracristal VSD / single artery to aorta, lungs / pulmonary HT / death < 1yr


Transposition of Great Arteries

incompatible with life in absence of communication

TGA + defective septum cyanotic at one month?
AV, Semilunar Valve malformations
Endocardial cushion defect

(foramen primum, VSD, etc.) / Trisomy 21 (Down’s)


Endocardial fibroelastosis

usually causes CHF in 1st year of life


Tricuspid valve atresia

all have ASD


Presentation: cyanosis or heart failure, overactive cardiac impulse, holosystolic murmur

CXR shows prominent RAD, ?EKG RAE, LAD + LVH



Treatment: PGE1, decongestive therapy, balloon atrial septostomy, SHUNT, BT

SVC to pulmonary artery shunt

At 3-4 months, bi-directional Glenn – bring SVC blood into pulmonary arteries

At 4-6 months – Fontan procedure - bring IVC blood into pulmonary arteries


Ebstein’s anomaly

Downward displacement of tricuspid (lithium)

ECG: peaked P waves, wide, bizarre QRS

Findings: pre-excitation (20%), SVT, Afib/flutter (30-40%)


Pulmonary valve stenosis  CHF
Pulmonary valve atresia – death w/out shunt

Mitral valve atresia – hypoplastic LV - fatal

Aortic valve atresia – same
Patent Ductus (PDA)

Findings: Continuous murmur from L-R shunt (1st or 2nd left ICS), systolic murmur from high pulmonary vascular resistance, widened pulse pressure

ECG: LA enlargement and LVH / prolonged PR in 20%

CXR: calcification at PDA, dilated ascending aorta and pulmonary artery, LA/LV enlargement

Course: 1/3 die from infective endocarditis (0.45%/yr after 20 yrs) / 2/3 die by age 60 yrs / causes congestive heart failure in premature infants

Treatment: closure recommended even for small defects / surgery or catheter-implanted Rashkind prosthesis (residual shunt rate < 10% at 3 yrs) / 5% develop Eisenmenger’s (operation not recommended)
Coronary arteries

- origin from pulmonary artery - angina, MI sooner or later

- fistula from coronary artery to right ventricle - L-R, R-L shunt
anomalies of aortic arch

ductus arteriosus

aortic arch obstruction
hypoplasia or interruption is associated with other intracardiac defects
Coarctation of the aorta (localized)

7% of cardiac malformations / men 2x > women / most common distal to origin of left subclavian / lower incidence of associated intracardiac defects (mostly: gonadal dysgenesis/Turner’s and bicuspid aortic valve and also: aberrant subclavian artery, PDA, VSD, parachute mitral valve, berry aneurysm)



Presentation: HTN in upper body, epistaxis, leg claudication

Findings: LVH, enlarged collateral vessels in upper body, reduced development of lower limbs; may be no murmur or midsystolic murmur over anterior chest and back

Diagnosis: clinical or TEE or CT/MRI of chest

Course: leads to CHF early (3-6 months) or late (adulthood) / made worse when ductus closes


anomalous venous connection

-many types

TAPVR (with and without obstruction)
With obstruction will produce pulmonary congestion with reticular pattern on CXR

Will be benefit from balloon opening an ASD to allow mixing?
