This mechanism, otherwise known as nonshivering thermogenesis, is the most important means of heat production in the neonate.
What is Brown Fat Metabolism.
100
This scoring system evaluates 6 neurologic and 6 physical criteria to assess gestational age.
What is the Ballard Score?
100
This is performed to assess the abdomen for tone, masses, pulsations, organ enlargement, and organ position.
What is palpation?
100
This sound resulting from turbulent blood flow may be due to abnormal valves, septal defects, regurgitated flow through incompetent valves, or higher than normal blood flow across normal structures.
What is a murmur?
100
The availability of this component and oxygen influence cerebral metabolism.
What is glucose?
200
This part of the brain serves as the control center for temperature regulation.
What is the hypothalamus?
200
Plethora, or a very ruddy or red appearance may indicate presence of this hematologic problem.
What is polycythemia?
200
This herniation of abdominal contents through an abdominal wall defect, usually occurs to the right of the umbilicus.
What is gastroschisis?
200
Clinical features may include bounding pulses, hyperactive precordium, and a widening pulse pressure.
What is patent ductus arteriosus?
200
This part of the brain promotes integrative muscle function, maintains balance, and enables smooth, purposeful movements.
What is the cerebellum?
300
Warming oxygen used in oxygen hoods, swaddling infants, keeping side rails up on OBWs and portholes closed on isolettes, and using plastic bags to wrap ELBW infants in the delivery room are all mechanisms to decrease this type of heat loss.
What is convective heat loss?
300
During the resuscitation of a term infant, you notice the child is very difficult to ventilate and oxygenate. As you look for chest rise while giving PPV, you realize the child has a scaphoid abdomen. These physical exam findings are consistent with this diagnosis.
What is diaphragmatic hernia?
300
Excessive oral secretions, the inability to pass an OG tube, coughing, gagging or cyanosis with feedings, and abdominal distention may all be signs of this anomaly.
What is TE Fistula?
300
The most common cyanotic heart lesion, this disorder includes a combination of 4 defects: pulmonary stenosis, VSD, Aorta overriding VSD, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
What is Tetralogy of Fallot?
300
This disorder is defined as excess CSF in the ventricles of the brain due to a decrease in reabsorption or due to overproduction.
What is hydrocephalus?
400
Total body cooling is used to help minimize this in term babies with birth asphyxia.
What is Hypoxic-Ischemic-Encephalopathy?
400
This syndrome has the physical exam findings of neonatal rash, a murmur, and absent red reflex.
What is congenital Rubella?
400
Bilious vomiting, abdominal distention, a history of polyhydramnios, and an x-ray showing a "double-bubble" are all consistent with this defect.
What is duodenal atresia?
400
In this defect, a single great vessel arises from both ventricles. Clinical features include CHF with bounding pulses, intermittent cyanosis, and an x-ray showing cardiomegaly with increased pulmonary markings.
What is truncus arteriosus?
400
It's components include the medulla, pons and midbrain.
What is the brain stem?
500
Hypoglycemia, hypoxia, metabolic acidosis, increased respiratory distress, feeding intolerance, and impaired weight gain are all short term or chronic consequences of this.
What is cold stress?
500
This nerve supplies the sensory nerves in the face and jaw and can be tested by touching the cheek to elicit the root reflex.
What is the trigeminal nerve?
500
Although this problem has been reported in a few patients without cystic fibrosis, it is considered a condition unique to cystic fibrosis. Clinical presentation includes abdominal distention, bilious vomiting, and palpable bowel loops.
What is meconium ileus?
500
This defect involves an obstruction of blood flow from the left side of the heart due to a hypoplastic aorta and ventrical leading to pulmonary venous congestion and edema.
What is hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
500
This symptom of neurologic dysfunction can be caused by metabolic encephalopathies, structural abnormalities, meningitis, withdrawal from maternal drugs, or genetics.
