Important tricks
• Bradycardia in pediatric is 1rst sign • Common problems :
of hypoxia.
• Laryngospasm partial or complete
• Hypoxia is common cause of .
respiratory arrest in peri operative
• Gastric aspiration .
period.
• Apnea post operative.
• Un predectide congenital
anomalies • Atelactasis.
Definitions
• Newborn or neonate: From birth
to 2 month
• Infant : from birth to 1 year
• Toddler : 2_ 3 years
• baby : from birth to 4 years
• Child : from birth to 14 years
Anatomical differants
• Large head , short neck , prominent • Mucosa softer
occiput
• Mucociliary action less⬇️
• Thin under develped mandible.
• Secretory glands more
• Small nasal airway
• Alveolar no less
• Large toungue
• Epiglottis : large , flobby end
• Larynx : higher , funnel shape ,
narrowest point C3 C 4
Anatomical changes
Larynx veiw
Physiological changes
Respiratory system
• ⬆️BMR⬆️, O2 consumption • Cv closing volume = volume of
lung at which small airway closed.
• ⬆️RR , ⬆️work of breathing on
respiratory muscle ➡️easy to get • CC closing capacity = Cv + Rv
fatigue ➡️easy to get apnia after maximum expiration
• ⬆️LC • Atelactasis is common
• ⬇️FRC
• CC < FRC
Physiological changes
C.V.S
• HR⬆️
• C.O.P⬆️
• C.O.P depend on HR
• ⬇️* HR = ⬇️C.O.P
• Cardiac muscle complieance⬇️
• ⬆️SVR
• ➕️para sympathetic is domenant
➡️brady cardia common .
Other systems changes
• Renal system : • C.N.S : immature BBB ➡️
permeability of anesthetic drugs
• ⬇️ GFR ➡️ kidney cant tolerate
over depletion or hydration of
