3 Pediatric Assessment Triangle The across the room assessment Appearance Work of breathing Group Practice #1 Circulation to skin 2 year old presents with shortness of breath. Mom states son has had a 3 day history of productive cough and runny nose. Child holding blanket & intently watching your movements while being held in mother s arms. RR appears to be within normal limits for age with no evidence of work of breathing. Chest expansion appears equal. Skin is pink Appearance - Work of breathing - Circulation - Is child sick/unstable? Or not sick/stable? Wong Baker Faces Pain Scale
4 Group Practice #2 An 8 month old infant presents with a cough, clear nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing. Mom states the infant has had a cold for the past 2 days. She is concerned because his breathing is different today and he has been feeding poorly. You note the infant appears tired & limp in mom s arms. Color is dusky. Respiratory rate is rapid & shallow. You note nasal flaring and intercostal & subcostal retractions. Appearance - Work of breathing Circulation Is child sick/unstable? Or not sick/stable? What action is necessary? Intraosseous Insertion 6 H s Hypovolemia give 20 ml/kg, repeat up to 60 ml/kg Hypoxia oxygenate Hydrogen ion acidosis ventilate Hyper/hypokalemia obtain history, check EKG for tall peaked T waves Hypothermia keep covered and warm Hypoglycemia most common metabolic problem in neonates 5 T s Tablets /drug overdose what has the child gotten in to? Tamponade, cardiac Tension pneumothorax check breath sounds, if bagging is there resistance? Equal rise and fall of chest wall? Thrombosis, coronary ACS Thrombosis, pulmonary embolism
5 Rhythm Review Identify the following rhythm strips
6 Practice Calculating mg Problem #1 Pt weighs 44 pounds Administer 1:10,000 Epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg Problem #2 Pt weighs 56 pounds Administer Amiodarone 5 mg/kg Problem #3 Pt weighs 75 pounds Administer Benadryl 1 mg/kg How many mg does the calculation give to administer? Problem #4 Pt weighs 25 pounds Administer Versed 0.1 mg/kg
7 Drug Calculation Practice Formula #1 X ml = desired dose (mg) x vol on hand (ml) dose on hand (mg) Formula #2 mg on hand = mg ordered ml on hand x ml Practice Calculating Volume to Draw Up Use mg answers from previous problems Problem #1 Administer 0.2 mg. Epinephrine 1:10,000 packaged as 1 mg/10ml Problem #2 Administer 125 mg. Amiodarone packaged as 150mg/3ml Problem #3 Administer 34 mg. Benadryl packaged as 50mg/ml How much would you really administer to a patient per SOP? Problem #4 Administer 1.1mg.Versed packaged as 5mg/5ml
8 Group Practice #3 A 7 year-old girl is having difficulty breathing. You find the child sitting upright and leaning forward, supported by arms, mouth open. She is aware of your presence but unconcerned. You note nasal flaring, suprasternal retractions and use of intercostal muscles. You hear audible loud wheezes without a stethoscope. Color is pale. Caregiver states a history of asthma. A neighbor visited about 1 hour ago to show them a new cat. Respirations 38 and labored Pulse 140/minute B/P 94/62; capillary refill < 2 seconds Skin pale, warm & dry Speech limited to 2-3 word sentences Absent breath sounds bilaterally in bases, diminished throughout remaining lung fields Appearance - Work of breathing Circulation - Is child sick/unstable? Or not sick/stable? Case Scenario Small Group Practice Break into smaller groups. Each group to be assigned a scenario. Present your scenario to the group through discussion and role playing skills. All members need to take an active role and demonstrate at least one technique. You may use any available resources to answer your questions under the Instructions (texts, blackberries, SOP s, power point, websites, presenter, etc).
