Trach. Fistula
The definitive treatment for a tracheoesophageal fistula is this
What is surgical intervention?
This type of diet is followed to manage symptoms and promote healing in individuals with celiac disease.
What is a gluten-free diet?
This type of swelling, often first noticed around the eyes, is a hallmark symptom of nephrotic syndrome
What is periorbital edema?
Daily monitoring of this parameter helps assess fluid retention and kidney function in children with acute glomerulonephritis.
What is intake and output (I&O)?
One of the first signs of acute kidney injury is a decrease in urine output, known as this.
What is oliguria?
In one type of tracheoesophageal fistula, the upper esophagus ends in this
What is a blind pouch?
People with celiac disease must avoid foods containing this protein found in wheat, rye, and barley.
What is gluten?
The urine in nephrotic syndrome patients may appear frothy due to this excess substance being excreted.
What is protein?
During acute glomerulonephritis, foods high in this mineral are restricted if the child has decreased urine output
What is potassium?
This electrolyte imbalance, often associated with AKI, can cause irregular heart rhythms and weakness
What is hyperkalemia (high potassium)?
Infants with tracheoesophageal fistula may present with frothy saliva and these two additional symptoms during feeding
What are choking and coughing?
If untreated, celiac disease can lead to intolerance of this sugar, commonly found in milk.
What is lactose?
This corticosteroid is commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and protein loss in nephrotic syndrome.
What is prednisone?
Severe hypertension in acute glomerulonephritis may lead to this neurological emergency, requiring seizure precautions
What is hypertensive encephalopathy?
This diuretic is commonly used in AKI to promote urine flow in patients with oliguria.
What is furosemide?
After surgery, the infant's positioning is critical to prevent aspiration. This specific position is recommended.
What is elevated head-of-bed (HOB) at 30–45 degrees?
In celiac disease, gluten damages this part of the small intestine responsible for nutrient absorption.
What is the intestinal lining (mucosa)?
This nutrient may be restricted in the diet of nephrotic syndrome patients if they have significant swelling.
What is sodium (salt)?
Acute glomerulonephritis often causes urine to appear this color, described as “tea-colored.
What is brown or smoky?
Elevated levels of this substance in the blood indicate impaired kidney function in AKI.
What is blood urea nitrogen (BUN)?
Until surgical correction, infants with tracheoesophageal fistula are kept on this nutritional route to prevent aspiration
What is parenteral nutrition or feeding via gastrostomy?
In children, these three hallmark symptoms often present with celiac disease: failure to thrive, abdominal distension, and this type of stool.
What is foul-smelling, fatty (steatorrhea)?
Daily monitoring of this measurement, typically taken at the same time each day, is critical for tracking fluid retention in nephrotic syndrome.
What is weight?
A positive titer for this antibody indicates a recent streptococcal infection associated with acute glomerulonephritis.
What is antistreptolysin O (ASO)?
If AKI leads to severe electrolyte imbalances, this therapeutic procedure may be necessary to filter waste products from the blood.
What is dialysis?
