-
sanford guide
antimicrobial therapy
-
two sources for pregnancy and lactation
-
peds vital signs
RR
HR
BP
- increased 40-60 seen often
- increased mean heart rate at 2 wks 148beats/min
- decreased - typical is 65-90/30-60
-
ped lab values
Hgb & Hct
- newborns increased due to low arterial PO2 in utero
- after birth, PO2 increases and erythropoesis decreases ( with increased RBC destruction)
- Hgb lowest in term infants at 6-12 wks
- "physiologic anemia"
- increases with age
-
what does an increased retic count in infants indicate
RBC maturation will begin to develoop
-
levels of
liver enzymes
SCr
pH
- increased - alk phos increased from bone growth
- decreased - decreased muscle mass
- decreased - during first few days of life
- can affect the protein binding of drugs
-
body water proportion compared to adults
- neonate - 50% extracellular 30% intracellular
- adult - 20% extracellular 40% intracellular
-
order of maturation for excretion
- glomerular filtration
- tubular secretion
- tubular reabsorption
- initially all decreased
-
which umbilical line is for monitoring
artery UAC
-
which umbilical line is for administering

-
device used for large volume continuous infusions
volumetric pump with buretrol
-
device used for intermittent infusions
syringe pump or is precise titration of continuous infusions
-
early onset sepsis EOS
- < 7 days of life (majority within 24 hours)
- commonly present as respiratory distress
- maternal factors play a big role
-
late onset sepsis LOS
- > 7 days of life
- less of a maternal impact
- hospital and community acquisition
- clinical presentation often focal
-
ups and downs of neonatal sepsis in the last decade
- decrease mortality
- increase overall incidence
- increase awareness
- decrease meningitis complications
- shift to late onset sepsis and fungal
-
main organisms responsible for EOS
- group B streptococcus (GBS)
- E. Coli
-
main organisms of LOS
- coagulase negative strep (CONS)
- s aureus
-
main organisms in LLOS
- coagulase negative strep CONS predominates
- s aureus less common
- large role of IV catheters and TPN
