2 1. Review unique anatomy and physiology of obese pediatric patients that are important in the acute care setting 2. Describe risks associated with pediatric obesity in the acute care setting 3. Describe nursing interventions that increase the safety of obese pediatric patients in the acute care setting

3 Seventeen percent of children in the US are considered obese. *Obesity is defined as a BMI of greater than 95 th percentile

4

5 WA State 12% according to WA Dept of Health

6 Hypercholesterolemia/dyslipidemia Hypertension Obstructive Sleep Apnea Mental health issues Orthopedic issues Skin breakdown/infection Gallbladder disease Type 2 diabetes Pancreatitis Venous thrombosis

7

8 Bones are more prone to fractures Skin is at risk for breakdown High risk for poor skin healing Circulating blood volume and increased cardiac workload = intolerant of fluid boluses

9 Fat deposits around neck narrow airway and increase the collapsibility Fat deposits around the trunk decrease lung compliance and increase oxygen demand Changes can cause obstructive sleep apnea

10

11 Sleep Apnea Hypoxemia Hypercapnia triggers the sympathetic nervous system to startle or take a deep breath. Chronic hypoventilation decreased oxygen reserve

12 Dosing by weight, except if it exceeds adult dosing Dosing by total body weight vs. ideal body weight Often depends if medication is lipophilic or hydrophilic

13

14 Chronic hypoxemia and diminished response to CO2 + pain meds dosed by TBW =

17 Equipment is ill-fitting Insufficient monitoring Falls risks Pressure sores Resuscitation can be more difficult

18 Resuscitation Difficulties Difficult to seal Increased airway and chest wall resistance Reduced pulmonary compliance Difficult airway to intubate Increased force for chest compressions

21 Identify obese patients and flag them as at risk Follow Guidelines of Care for Obese Patients

22 System to calculate BMI and flag patients at risk.

23 SCH Obese Care Clinical Standard Work Pathway 6 guidance for providers and nurses Recommends providers use Pediatric Obesity orderset Guideline of care for nurses

25 ASA and sedation safety information Cues about resuscitation needs Comment on special equipment in bed request

26 The ASA score is a subjective assessment of a patient s overall health that is based on five classes (I to V) 4. I Patient is a completely healthy fit patient. II Patient has mild systemic disease. III Patient has severe systemic disease that is not incapacitating. IV Patient has incapacitating disease that is a constant threat to life. V A moribund patient who is not expected to live 24 hour with or without surgery.

27 Modified Mallampati Scoring: [3] Class I: Soft palate, uvula, fauces, pillars visible. Class II: Soft palate, uvula, fauces visible. Class III: Soft palate, base of uvula visible. Class IV: Only hard palate visible.
