Neonates are not Small Adults
Neonates have this type of vocal cords placement.
What is more anterior?
This syndrome involves inadequate surfactant production leading to alveolar collapse.
What is Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)?
This condition results from failure to transition from neonatal to postnatal circulation.
What is Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)?
This condition is characterized by rapid breathing and is typically temporary in newborns.
What is Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN)?
This factor in neonates contributes to increased oxygen consumption.
What is increased metabolism?
Neonates have this type of tongue in relation to their mouth size.
What is a large tongue in a small mouth?
Premature neonates born before this gestational age are most at risk for developing RDS.
What is 28 weeks?
This intervention is used to reduce pulmonary hypertension in severe PPHN cases.
What is inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)?
This diagnostic tool confirms TTN with findings of fluid in the lungs.
What is chest X-ray?
This term describes the compliant nature of a neonate's rib cage.
What is very cartilaginous?
Neonates have this type of airway shape.
What is conical shaped?
This term describes the radiological finding in RDS characterized by a diffuse and fine granular pattern across the lungs.
What are ground-glass opacities?
This diagnostic tool is used to confirm PPHN by assessing cardiac function
What is echocardiography (echo)?
TTN is caused by delayed clearance of this fluid, usually absorbed during labor and delivery.
What is fetal lung fluid?
Neonates exhibit this type of chest movement during respiration that is normal for neonates but not for children and adults.
Neonates can simultaneously breathe through their nares while feeding due to this physiological trait.
What is being obligate nose breathers?
This therapy involves administering a natural lung lubricant to improve lung function in premature infants.
What is surfactant replacement therapy?
This advanced therapy for severe PPHN involves artificially oxygenating the blood outside the body.
What is ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)?
Maternal factors such as this type of delivery are associated with an increased risk of TTN in newborns.
What is cesarean section (C-section)?
These hormones, affected during labor, aid in absorbing fetal lung fluid.
What are catecholamines?
Neonates have these anatomical feature that contributes to airway management challenges.
This condition may develop in severe cases of RDS due to prolonged inadequate ventilation.
What is respiratory acidosis?
This physiological phenomenon in PPHN leads to right-to-left shunting of blood in neonates.
What is failure to transition from fetal to neonatal circulation?
Most cases of TTN resolve spontaneously within this timeframe after birth without long-term respiratory sequelae.
What is 24 to 72 hours?
his anatomical feature of neonates contributes to their higher oxygen consumption compared to adults, reflecting their increased metabolic demands.
What is the smaller, thicker, and fewer alveoli in neonatal lungs?
