Assessment of development
*(Means examination as well as the history)
(Examine according to the child's age and the information that you get from the developmental history )
Gross motor
Put the child in prone position : look for creeping, crawling,
raising of his head and chest
Put the child in Supine: rolling, looking, movement of extremities
Pull him to sit and see the head lag
Standing
Do axillary suspension
Do ventral suspension
Fine motor
Hold a toy in front of him and see whether he follow it
Put the toy in front of him see whether reach to it or not
Or give him the toy
Examine for pincer grip :
put a small thing in front of the child
Give him a cup and see what he will do
Give him a pen and paper
Speech and hearing:
See whether the child obey commands
Hearing assessment:
do distraction test
( according to child's age)
Social :
Type of playing

Neurological examination of the child
Ask about patient's name, age and sex
Explain what you are going to do
1) WIPE
2) General look
1) conscious level
2) dysmorphic features
3) observe the child's posture and look for evidence of contractures
4) abnormal movements
5) observe the child gait
6) Gower's sign
7) Muscle bulk
3) Motor examination
1)
Tone
Tone is assessed by the resistance to passive movement of the
limbs. In infants, tone and strength may be judged by
observing the posture. Predominantly flexor tone is normal,
whereas a frog-leg position suggests hypotonia.
Spasticity
2)
Power:
Upper limbs
Lower limbs
3)
Reflexes:
Tendon reflexes:
The symmetry and magnitude of muscle stretch reflexes
are evaluated. The joint under consideration should be at
approximately 90 degrees and fully relaxed. It is often
helpful for the examiner to cradle the joint in his or her
own arm to support it. The end of the hammer should be
held with the other hand and the head of the hammer

7. Gait
A wide-based, unsteady gait is characteristic of cerebellar
dysfunction.
Circumduction and toe-dragging often occur with
spasticity.
A high-stepping, slapping gait often is seen with peripheral
neuromuscular disease.
A waddling gait occurs with pelvic girdle weakness (eg,
myopathies and muscular dystrophies).
Asymmetries of gait, or decreased arm swing or abnormal
arm posturing are often present in hemiparesis

muscles. Ask the child to
open his mouth and bite hard . palpate the masseter muscle . the 5
th
nerve also
provides sensation to much of the face and is divided into the ophthalmic,
maxillary and mandibular divisions test sensation to light touch in each of these
areas , the corneal reflex is not routinely examined in children.
VII. Facial nerve : Ask the child to screw up his eyes as tightly as possible and
show his teeth . in ability to bury the eyelashes on one side or close the eye , and
drooping of the corner of the mouth may indicate facial nerve pulsy.
VIII. Auditory nerve: Ask about hearing . if there is any doubt, or speech delay
you should obtain a hearing test.
IX. Glossopharyngeal nerve, X . vagus nerve, XII. Hypoglossal nerves: ask the
child to stick out his tongue, look for tongue and uvula deviation. The gag reflex
is not routinely examined in children.
XI. Accessory nerve : Ask the child to turn his head to the sides against the
resistance of your hand, and to shrug his shoulderd

If improved discharge him on inhaled B-agonist and oral steroid (like
prednisolone for 5 days)
13)
Admit the child to the hospital if:
1. No improvement after 1-2 hrs of initial treatment
2. No improvement in peak expiratory flow (PEF) (less than 70%)
3. O
2
saturation less than 92%

14)
Hospital management :
1. O
2
2. Inhaled short acting B- agonist and Systemic glucocorticoid iv or orally
3. Iv fluid
If no response give:
4. Iv theophylline 5-10mg/kg i.v over 1 hr followed by infusion 1.1 mg /kg
per hr (age 1-9 yrs) or 0.7 mg/kg per hr (10 yrs to adult)
5. Inhaled heliox: 70% hhelium- 30% O
2
improvement within 20 min

4. Pneumonia :
Note: this management is not according to the ARI program (see page 113)
1-
Send chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis and detect complications
2-
Put iv line and Draw blood sample and do important Investigations(WBC, blood
culture, cold agglutination, isolation of the Bacteria or the virus.
3-
Treatment of suspected bacterial pneumonia is based on the presumptive cause and
the clinical appearance of the child. For mildly ill children who do not require
hospitalization, amoxicillin is recommended. In communities with a high percentage
of penicillin-resistant pneumococci, high doses of amoxicillin (80–90 mg/kg/24 hr)
should be prescribed. Therapeutic alternatives include cefuroxime axetil or
amoxicillin/clavulanate. For school-aged children and in those in whom infection with
M. pneumoniae or C. pneumoniae (atypical pneumonias) is suggested, a macrolide
antibiotic such as azithromycin is an appropriate choice. In adolescents, a respiratory
fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin) may be
considered for atypical pneumonias.
4-
The empirical treatment of suspected bacterial pneumonia in a hospitalized child
requires an approach based on the clinical manifestations at the time of presentation.
Parenteral cefuroxime (150 mg/kg/24 hr), cefotaxime, or ceftriaxone is the mainstay
of therapy when bacterial pneumonia is suggested. If clinical features suggest
staphylococcal pneumonia (pneumatoceles, empyema), initial antimicrobial therapy
should also include vancomycin or clindamycin.

If viral pneumonia is suspected, it is reasonable to withhold antibiotic therapy,
especially for those patients who are mildly ill, have clinical evidence suggesting viral
infection, and are in no respiratory distress. Up to 30% of patients with known viral
infection may have coexisting bacterial pathogens. Therefore, if the decision is made
to withhold antibiotic therapy based on presumptive diagnosis of a viral infection,
deterioration in clinical status should signal the possibility of superimposed bacterial
infection and antibiotic therapy should be initiated.
6-
Admit the child if:
Age < 6 months
Sickle cell anemia with acute chest syndrome
Multiple lobe involvement
Immunocompromised state
Toxic appearance
Severe respiratory distress
Requirement for supplemental oxygen
Dehydration
Vomiting
No response to appropriate oral antibiotic therapy
Noncompliant parents
Supportive care

if needed
If the child has fever (≥39 °C or ≥102.2 °F) which appears to be causing distress, give
paracetamol.
Encourage the child to eat and drink. oral zinc (20 mg/day) helps accelerate recovery
from severe pneumonia
IV fluid if needed, Avoid frequent examinations or disturbing the child unnecessarily
If there is difficulty in swallowing, nasogastric feeding is required.

9. SVT
1)
Vagal stimulation by submersion of the face in iced saline (in older children) or by
placing an ice bag over the face (in infants) may abort the attack. To abolish the
paroxysm, older children may be taught vagotonic maneuvers such as the Valsalva
maneuver, straining, breath holding, drinking ice water, or adopting a particular
posture.
2)
When these measures fail, several pharmacologic alternatives are available:
In stable patients, adenosine (0.1mg/kg diluted by normal saline )by rapid
intravenous push is the treatment of choice because of its rapid onset of action and
minimal effects on cardiac contractility. The dose may need to be repeated rapidly
(given at 2 min. intervals, increase the dose by 0.05 mg /kg up to 0.3 mg/kg (max 18
mg).
Other drugs that have been used for initial treatment of SVT include infusions of
phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) or edrophonium (Tensilon), which increase vagal
tone through the baroreflex, as well as the antiarrhythmic agents quinidine,
procainamide, and propranolol. Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil have
also been used in the initial treatment of SVT in older children. Verapamil may
reduce cardiac output and produce hypotension and cardiac arrest in infants
younger than 1 yr; it is therefore contraindicated in this age group.
3)
In urgent situations when symptoms of severe heart failure have already occurred,
synchronized DC cardioversion 0.5–2 W-sec/kg (average 1J/kg) is recommended as the
initial management .
4)
Once the patient has been converted to sinus rhythm, a longer acting agent is selected
for maintenance therapy. In patients without an antegrade accessory pathway, digoxin
or propranolol is the mainstay of therapy. In children with evidence of pre-excitation
(WPW syndrome), digoxin or calcium channel blockers may increase the rate of
anterograde conduction of impulses through the bypass tract and should be avoided.
These patients are usually managed in the long term with propranolol. In patients with
resistant tachycardias, procainamide, quinidine, flecainide, propafenone, sotalol, and
amiodarone have all been used. It should be recognized that most antiarrhythmic agents
could have proarrhythmic and negative inotropic effects. Flecainide in particular should
be limited to use in patients with otherwise normal hearts. If cardiac failure occurs
because of prolonged tachycardia in an infant with a normal heart, cardiac function
usually returns to normal after sinus rhythm is reinstituted, although it may take days
to weeks.
5)
Twenty-four hour electrocardiographic (Holter) recordings are useful in monitoring the
course of therapy and in detecting brief runs of asymptomatic tachycardia. A brief
assessment of arrhythmia control can be made at the bedside with transesophageal
pacing. More detailed electrophysiologic studies performed in the cardiac
catheterization laboratory are often indicated in patients with refractory SVTs.These
studies are necessary prerequisites to radiofrequency ablation.
6)
Radiofrequency ablation of an accessory pathway is another treatment option
commonly used in patients with re-entrant rhythms. It is often used electively in
children and teenagers, as well as in patients who require multiple agents or find drug
side effects intolerable or for whom arrhythmia control is poor.

12. Dehydration
No dehydration:
Plan A
➤Treat the child as an outpatient.
➤Counsel the mother on the 4 rules of home treatment:
1)
give extra fluid
2)
give zinc supplements
3)
continue feeding
4)
give advice on when to return.
1) Give extra fluid, as follows:
— If the child is being breastfed, advise the mother to breastfeed frequently and for
longer at each feed. If the child is exclusively breastfed, give ORS solution or clean
water in addition to breast milk. After the diarrhea stops, exclusive breastfeeding
should be resumed, if appropriate to the child’s age.
— In non-exclusively breastfed children, give one or more of the following:
• ORS solution
• food-based fluids (such as soup, rice water and yoghurt drinks)
• clean water. To prevent dehydration from developing, advise the mother to give
extra fluids—as much as the child will take:
• for children <2 years, about 50–100 ml after each loose stool
• for children 2 years or over, about 100–200 ml after each loose stool.
Tell the mother to give small sips from a cup. If the child vomits, wait 10 minutes
and then give more slowly. She should continue giving extra fluid until the
diarrhoea stops. Teach the mother how to mix and give ORS solution and give her
two packets of ORS to take home.
2)Give zinc supplements
— Tell the mother how much zinc to give:
Up to 6 months 1/2 tablet (10 mg) per day 6 months and more 1 tablet (20 mg) per
day for 10–14 days
— Show the mother how to give the zinc supplements:
• Infants, dissolve the tablet in a small amount of clean water, expressed
milk or ORS.
• Older children, tablet can be chewed or dissolved
— Remind the mother to give the zinc supplements for the full 10–14 days.
3)Continue feeding
4)Advise the mother on when to return
Follow-up
➤Advise the mother to return immediately to the clinic if the child becomes more sick, or
is unable to drink or breastfeed, or drinks poorly, or develops a fever, or shows blood in
the stool. If the child shows none of these signs but is still not improving, advise the
mother to return for follow-up at 5 days.

Some dehydration:
Plan B
➤In the first 4 hours, give the child the following approximate amounts
of ORS solution, according to the child’s weight (or age if the weight is
not known) However, if the child wants more to drink, give more.
➤Show the mother how to give the child ORS solution, a teaspoonful
every 1–2 minutes if the child is under 2 years; frequent sips from a cup
for an older child.
➤Check regularly to see if there are problems.
• If the child vomits, wait 10 minutes; then, resume giving ORS solution
more slowly (e.g. a spoonful every 2–3 minutes).
• If the child’s eyelids become puffy, stop ORS solution and give plain
water or breast milk.
➤Advise breastfeeding mothers to continue to breastfeed whenever the
child wants.
➤If the mother cannot stay for 4 hours, show her how to prepare ORS
solution and give her enough ORS packets to complete the rehydration at
home plus enough for 2 more days.
➤Reassess the child after 4 hours, checking for signs of dehydration
(Note: Reassess the child before 4 hours if the child is not taking the ORS
solution or seems to be getting worse.)
If there is no dehydration, teach the mother the four rules of home
treatment:
(i) give extra fluid
(ii) give zinc supplements for 10–14 days
(iii) continue feeding
(iv) return if the child develops any of the following signs:
1) drinking poorly or unable to drink or breastfeed
2) becomes more sick
3) develops a fever
4) has blood in the stool.
If the child still has some dehydration, repeat treatment for another
4 hours with ORS solution, as above, and start to offer food, milk or
juice and breastfeed frequently.
If signs of severe dehydration have developed for treatment.
Give zinc supplements
➤Tell the mother how much zinc to give Up to 6 months 1/2 tablet (10
mg) per day 6 months and more 1 tablet (20 mg) per day for 10–14 days

Severe dehydration:
Plan C
Children with severe dehydration should be given rapid IV rehydration followed by
oral rehydration therapy.
➤Start IV fluids immediately. While the drip is being set up, give ORS solution if
the child can drink. Note: The best IV fluid solution is Ringer's lactate Solution
(also called Hartmann’s Solution for Injection). If Ringer's lactate is not available,
normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) can be used. 5% glucose (dextrose) solution on
its own is not effective and should not be used.
➤Give 100 ml/kg of the chosen solution divided
First, give 30 ml/kg in: Then, give 70 ml/kg in:
<12 months old 1 hour 5 hours
≥12 months old 30 minute 2and half hours
Repeat again if the radial pulse is still very weak or not detectable.
Monitoring
Reassess the child every 15–30 minutes until a strong radial pulse is present. If
hydration is not improving, give the IV solution more rapidly. Thereafter, reassess
the child by checking skin pinch, level of consciousness, and ability to drink, at least
every hour, in order to confirm that hydration is improving. Sunken eyes recover
more slowly than other signs and are less useful for monitoring. When the full
amount of IV fluid has been given, reassess the child’s hydration status fully
• If signs of severe dehydration are still present, repeat the IV fluid
infusion as outlined earlier. Persistent severe dehydration after IV rehydration is
unusual; it usually occurs only in children who pass large watery stools frequently
during the rehydration period.
• If the child is improving but still shows signs of some dehydration,
discontinue IV treatment and give ORS solution for 4 hours
If the child is normally breastfed, encourage the mother to continue breastfeeding
frequently. Where appropriate, encourage the mother to continue breastfeeding
frequently. Observe the child for at least 6 hours before discharge, to confirm that
the mother is able to maintain the child’s hydration by giving ORS solution. All
children should start to receive some ORS solution (about 5ml/kg/hour) by cup
when they can drink without difficulty (usually within 3–4 hours for infants, or 1–2
hours for older children). This provides additional base and potassium, which may
not be adequately supplied by the IV fluid. When severe dehydration is corrected,
prescribe zinc

13. Poisoning
Initial medical care
A- Prevention of Absorption
1. Emesis:
use syrup of ipcac 15-30 ml followed by liquid such as water .
its contraindicated in comatose patient, ingestion strong acid or base
2. Lavage:
should be done within one hour
3. Charcoal:
most effective and safe procedure give as s water slurry with a minimum
dose of 15-30 g , 2-6 hrs
.
The dose of charcoal is 1–2 g/kg (maximum, 100 g) per
dose. Repeating the dose of activated charcoal may be useful for those
agents that slow passage through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When
multiple doses of activated charcoal are given, Charcoal dosing is
repeated every 2–6 hours until charcoal is passed through the rectum.
4. Cathartic
s
Like sorbet (max 1g/kg) magnesium sulfate, sod citrate. despite their
widespread use, cathartics do not improve outcome. The use of cathartics
should therefore be avoided.
5. Whole Gut Lavage
Whole bowel lavage uses an orally administered, non absorbable
hypertonic solution such as CoLyte. The use of this procedure in
poisoned patients remains controversial. Preliminary recommendations
for use of whole bowel irrigation include poisoning with sustained-
release preparations, mechanical movement of items through the bowel
(eg, cocaine packets, iron tablets), and poisoning with substances that are
poorly absorbed by charcoal (eg, lithium, iron). Underlying bowel
pathology and intestinal obstruction are relative contraindications to its
use. Consultation with a certified regional poison center is recommended.
Enhancement of Excretion
1. Forced diuresis
: helpful in salicylate ingestion
2. Dialysis

Hemodialysis (or peritoneal dialysis if hemodialysis is unavailable) is
useful in the poisonings listed below and in the general management of a
critically ill patient. dialysis is useful for thiophylline, Digoxin and
refractory salicylate intoxication.
3. Hemoperfusion over activated charcoal or resin helpful in:
thiophylline
,
salicylate intoxication
contraindicated in Digoxin, acetaminopgin
Aspirin and other salicylates poisoning
This can be very serious in young children because they rapidly become
acidotic and are consequently more likely to suffer the severe CNS
effects of toxicity. Salicylate overdose can be complex to manage.
■ These cause acidotic-like breathing, vomiting and tinnitus.
1)
Give activated charcoal if available 1-2 g/kg.
Note: that salicylate tablets tend to form a concretion in the stomach
leading to delayed absorption, so it is worthwhile giving several doses
of charcoal. If charcoal is not available and a severely toxic dose has
been given, then perform gastric lavage or induce vomiting.
2)
Give IV sodium bicarbonate 1 mmol/kg over 4 hours to correct
acidosis and to raise the pH of the urine to above 7.5 so that salicylate
excretion is increased.
3)
Give supplemental potassium
(20-40 ml/L)
even the serum K
+
is normal
4)
Monitor urine and plasma PH hourly.
5)
do important other investigations like:
S. K
+
, PT, S.GPT, S.GOT, TSB, Measure level of Salicylate
6)
Give IV fluids at maintenance requirements unless child shows signs of
dehydration in which case give adequate rehydration.
7)
Monitor blood glucose every 6 hours and correct as necessary
8)
Give vitamin K 10mg IM or IV.
9)
Refractory salicylate intoxication may benefit from dialysis.
10)
Charcoal hemoperfusion

Paracetamol poisoning
Table 5 -- Classic Stages in the Clinical Course of Acetaminophen Toxicity
STAGE TIME AFTER
INGESTION
CHARACTERISTICS
I
0.5–24 hr
Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, malaise, pallor, diaphoresis
II
24–48 hr
Resolution of earlier symptoms; right upper quadrant abdominal pain
and tenderness; elevated bilirubin, prothrombin time, hepatic enzymes;
oliguria
III
72–96 hr
Peak liver function abnormalities; anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and
malaise may reappear
IV
4 days–2 wk
Resolution of hepatic dysfunction or complete liver failure
1)
If within 1 hour of ingestion give activated charcoal, if available, or induce vomiting UNLESS
an oral antidote may be required.
2)
Decide if antidote is required to prevent liver damage: ingestions of 150 mg/kg or more, or toxic
4 hour paracetamol level where this is available. Antidote is more often required for older children
who deliberately ingest paracetamol or when parents overdose children by mistake.
3)
If within 8 hours of ingestion give oral methionine or IV acetylcysteine. Methionine can be
used if the child is conscious and not vomiting (<6 years: 1 gram every 4 hours for 4 doses; 6
years or older: 2.5 grams every 4 hours for 4 doses).
4)
If more than 8 hours after ingestion, or the child cannot take oral treatment, give IV
acetylcysteine.
Petroleum compounds poisoning
Examples: kerosene, turpentine substitutes, petrol
1)
Do not induce vomiting or give activated charcoal as inhalation can
cause respiratory distress with hypoxaemia due to pulmonary oedema
and lipoid pneumonia. Ingestion can cause encephalopathy.
2)
chest x-ray may show infiltrates by 2-3hr after ingestion, and after
2-3wk may show pneumatocele
3)
Specific treatment includes:
oxygen therapy if respiratory distress
put the patient in left lateral position
observation

Organo-phosphorus and carbamate
compounds poisoning
Examples: organophosphorus – malathion, parathion, TEPP,
mevinphos (Phosdrin); and carbamates – methiocarb, carbaryl
These can be absorbed through the skin, ingested or inhaled.
The child may complain of vomiting, diarrhoea, blurred vision or
weakness. Signs are those of excess parasympathetic activation:
salivation, sweating, lacrimation, slow pulse, small pupils, convulsions,
muscle weakness/twitching, then paralysis and loss of bladder control,
pulmonary oedema, respiratory depression.
Treatment involves:
1)
Remove poison by irrigating eye or Washing skin (if in eye or on skin).
2)
Give activated charcoal if ingested and within 1 hour of the ingestion.
3)
Do not induce vomiting because most pesticides are in petrol-based
solvents.
4)
In a serious ingestion where activated charcoal cannot be given,
consider careful aspiration of stomach contents by NG tube (the airway
should be protected).
5)
If the child has signs of excess parasympathetic activation, then give
atropine 15–50 micrograms/kg IM (i.e. 0.015–0.05mg/kg) or by
intravenous infusion over 15 minutes. The main aim is to reduce
bronchial secretions whilst avoiding atropine toxicity. Auscultate the
chest for signs of respiratory secretions and monitor respiratory rate, heart

minutes until no chest signs of secretions, and pulse and respiratory rate

6)
Check for hypoxaemia with pulse oximetry, if possible, if giving
atropine as it can cause heart irregularities (ventricular arrythmias) in
hypoxic children.
7)
Give oxygen if oxygen saturation is less that 90%.
8)
If muscle weakness, give pralidoxime (cholinesterase reactivator)
25–50mg/ kg diluted with 15 ml water by IV infusion over 30 minutes
repeated once or twice, or followed by an intravenous infusion of 10 to 20
mg/kg/hour, as necessary.
Iron poisoning
(you need to read more than this)
Check for clinical features of iron poisoning: nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The vomit and stools are often grey or
black. In severe poisoning there may be gastrointestinal hemorrhage,
hypotension, drowsiness, convulsions and metabolic acidosis.
Gastrointestinal features usually appear in the first 6 hours and a child
who has remained asymptomatic for this time probably does not require
antidote treatment.
1)
Activated charcoal does not bind to iron salts, therefore consider giving
a gastric lavage if potentially toxic amounts of iron were taken.
2)
Decide whether to give antidote treatment. Since this can have side-
effects it should only be used if there is clinical evidence of poisoning.
3)
If you decide to give antidote treatment, give deferoxamine (50 mg/kg
IM up to a maximum of 1 g) by deep IM injection repeated every 12
hours;
4)
if very ill, give IV infusion 15 mg/kg/hour to a maximum of 80 mg/kg
in 24 hours.

14.Snake bite
First aid
1)
Splint the limb to reduce movement and absorption of venom. If the
bite was likely to have come from a snake with a neurotoxic venom
2)
Apply proximal tourniquet loose enough to insert 2 fingers and allow
arterial blood flow.
3)
Clean the wound.
4)
Transport to hospital which has antivenom as soon as possible. If
snake has already been killed, take this with child to hospital.
5)
Avoid cutting the wound or applying ice to bite site.
Hospital care
1)
Insert large iv cannula and draw blood for investigations :
CBC, PT, PTT, Blood group, fibrinogen and FDP, RFT
2)
Give tetanus toxoid
3)
Treat shock, if present.
4)
Paralysis of respiratory muscles can last for days and requires
intubation and mechanical ventilation or manual ventilation (with a mask
or endotracheal tube and bag) by relays of staff and/or relatives until
respiratory function returns. Attention to careful securing of endotracheal
tube is important. An alternative is to perform an elective tracheostomy.
5)Antivenom
■ If there are systemic signs or severe local signs (swelling of more than
half of the limb or severe necrosis), give antivenom, if available
➤
Give monovalent antivenom if the species of snake is known. Give
polyvalent antivenom if the species is not known. Follow the directions
given on the antivenom preparation. The dose for children is the same as
for adults.
Deliver it with in 4 hrs (5 vials and repeated every 2 hrs) Give it more
slowly initially and monitor closely for anaphylaxis or other serious
adverse reactions.
Prepare IM epinephrine and chlorpheniramine and be ready if allergic
reaction occurs.

16. Diabetes Mellitus:
If pt. firstly present with hyperglycemia
1)
Admission of the pt. to the ward for DM control
2)
Apply sliding scale:
Date time RBS Urine sugar Insulin U note
Measure RBS every 6 hrs and see the reading if:
<90 mg/dl no need for insulin
90-180 mg/dl give 0.1 U/kg of insulin
180-270 mg/dl give 0.2 U/kg
270-360 mg/dl give 0.3 U/kg
>360 mg/dl give 0.4 U/kg
Notes:
1- The insulin used in this scale is soluble Insulin only
2- Night dose is 0.1 U/kg
3- The pt. must stay on this scale for 3 days
4- After 3 days count the total amount of insulin used and
divided it on 3 to calculate the maintenance dose of insulin
that the pt. will need after discharge
5- Use mixtard insulin after discharge
6- Give the dose half hr. before the meal
7- Give the pt 2/3 of this dose at morning and 1/3 at night

17. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
1-
Ask about patient's name ,age, weight
2-
You must arrange a observation chart
3-
Confirm the diagnosis by RBS & urine for ketone bodies and sugar
4-
Admission to ICU
5-
Initial treatment
Successful therapy consistently includes the following:
Stabilization of the airway, respiration, restoration of circulatory
volume
Institution of insulin therapy to correct hyperglycemia and clear
ketoacidosis
Correction of fluid and metabolic abnormalities
Determination of the cause of diabetic ketoacidosis; rule out infection
Avoidance of complications of therapy, including cerebral edema,
hypokalemia, and hypoglycemia
6-
Rehydration is the main step of treatment The initial goal of fluid
resuscitation is to restore circulation, usually with a 10-20mL/kg bolus of
isotonic saline solution or Ringer lactate over 30 to 60 minutes then slow
rehydration from the 2
nd
hour until reduce the risk of cerebral edema using
0.45% NaCl the amount of which is calculated according to the following
formula: IV rate = 85ml/kg + maintenance - bolus divided by 23 hours to
replace the deficit
Maintenance (24 hr) = 100 ml/kg (for the 1st 10 kg) + 50 ml/kg (for the 2nd
10 kg) + 25 mL/kg (for all remaining kg)
7-
Insulin therapy
We begin with by infusion of 0.1 U/kg until blood sugar is less than 250
mg/dL (14 mmol/L) then we give 5% glucose water
8-
Potassium therapy
During therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis, serum level of potassium can
decrease as insulin therapy facilitates intracellular glucose uptake and with
potassium shift back into the intracellular compartment as acidosis resolves.
In anticipation of these shifts, one must begin potassium replacement early
in the course of therapy for diabetic ketoacidosis.

b- potassium level is 5 mEq/L or less, potassium replacement is initiated
with up to 40 mEq/L added to the maintenance fluids. The goal is to
provide 2 to 5 mEq/kg/d. Patients with more marked deficits may need
potassium replacement at up to 0.5 mEq/kg/h. Potassium replacement
should be given as 50% potassium chloride and 50% potassium phosphate
9-
Bicarbonate therapy should be avoided unless severe acidosis (pH
<7.0) results in hemodynamic instability, or symptomatic hyperkalemia is
present
10-
Subsequent treatment
when diabetic ketoacidosis has been successfully controlled that’s to say
pH is greater than 7.3, bicarbonate level is greater than 15 mEq/L, glucose
less than 300 mg/dl, and the patient is ready to resume enteral intake The
insulin infusion can be discontinued this transition ideally occurs during the
day and before a meal. The insulin infusion must be continued for 30 to 60
minutes after the first subcutaneous dose is administered to allow for
delayed onset of action of the injected insulin. Calculation of an appropriate
subcutaneous dose is based on sliding scale in which insulin dose is divided
into 4 daily doses continued for 2-3 days as follows
Blood glucose level
Dose of insulin(soluble)
More than 360mg/dl
0.4u/kg
270-360mg/dl
0.3u/kg
180-270mg/dl
0.2u/kg
90-180mg/dl
0.1u/kg
90mg/dl
Not give insulin
11-
After that the patient should be shifted Outpatient Management
The dose should be divided into two daily injections, with two thirds of the
total daily dose given in the morning, 30 minutes before breakfast if using
regular insulin or at breakfast if using lispro or aspart, and one third given
in the evening, likewise 30 minutes before dinner if using regular or at
dinner if using lispro or aspart The ratio of insulin in the morning dose
should be two-thirds intermediate-acting insulin (NPH or Lente), and one-
third short-acting or fast-acting insulin, In the evening, one half of the
evening insulin dose should be given as intermediate-acting insulin (NPH or
Lente), and one half should be given as short-acting or fast-acting insulin

Painful crisis of SCA
Specific therapies for pain vary, but generally include the use of
acetaminophen or a nonsteroidal agent early in the course of pain,
followed by acetaminophen with codeine and short- or long-acting oral
opioids, or hospitalization with IV administration of morphine or
morphine derivatives . The incremental increase and decrease in the use
of medication to relieve pain roughly parallels the 8 phases associated
with a chronology of pain and comfort In phase 1 (baseline), the patient is
free of pain. Phase 2 involves no pain, but the child may show prodromal
signs and symptoms of painful episodes, such as scleral icterus or fatigue.
During this phase, comfort measures can be used. Phases 3–7 involve
increasing and then decreasing levels of pain, including the pain start
point, phase 3, when acetaminophen with codeine or nonsteroidal
inflammatory agents may be used. Pain acceleration, phase 4, is often
associated with administering short- or long-acting morphine derivatives.
Peak pain experience, phase 5, is the point at which IV morphine may be
started and the patient is often admitted to the hospital. The average
hospital stay for children admitted for pain is 3–5 days. The pain starts to
decrease during phases 6 and 7, and the pain medication is slowly
decreased. In general, decreasing the opioid medication by 20% of the
starting dose should occur during the early morning hours, when the
caretaker, physician, or house staff is available to assess the effect of the
change in dose. Decreasing opioid administration in the afternoon or late
at night is not advisable because pain is often worse at night and the
primary health care provider is often not available to assess the effect of
the change in dose administration. In phase 8, pain resolution, the pain
decreases to a manageable level so that the child can be discharged from
the hospital.
Several myths exist about the treatment of pain in sickle cell anemia. The
concept that painful episodes in children should be managed without
opioids is without foundation and results in unwarranted suffering on the
part of the patient. There is no evidence that blood transfusion therapy
during an existing painful episode decreases the intensity or duration of
the episode. Blood transfusion should be reserved for patients who have a
decrease in hemoglobin, resulting in hemodynamic compromise, and for
patients with respiratory distress or a dropping hemoglobin concentration
with no expectation that a safe nadir will be reached.

IV hydration does not relieve or prevent pain and is appropriate when the
patient is dehydrated or is unable to drink as a result of severe pain.
Concern about opioid dependency in children with sickle cell anemia
must never be used as a reason not to treat a child in pain. Patients with
multiple painful episodes requiring hospitalization within 1 yr or those
whose pain episodes require hospital stays of longer than 7 days should
be evaluated for comorbidities and psychosocial stressors that may
contribute to the frequency or duration of pain.
Hydroxyurea, a myelosuppressive agent, is the only effective drug proven
to reduce the frequency of painful episodes. Hydroxyurea raises the level
of Hb F and the hemoglobin level. Hydroxyurea usually decreases the
rate of painful episodes by 50%; it also decreases the rate of ACS
episodes and blood transfusions by approximately 50% in adults. In
children with sickle cell anemia, only a safety and feasibility trial of
hydroxyurea has been conducted. This study demonstrated that
hydroxyurea was safe and well tolerated in children older than 5 yr of
age. No clinical adverse events were identified. The primary laboratory
toxicities were limited to myelosuppression, which was reversed on
cessation of the drug. Given the short-term safety profile of hydroxyurea
in children and its established efficacy in adults, hydroxyurea is
commonly used in children with multiple painful episodes. Hydroxyurea
treatment begun in infancy may preserve splenic function, improve
growth, and reduce the incidence of ACS. The long-term toxicity
associated with hydroxyurea in children has not been established, and
there are theoretical concerns about the potential risk of leukemia and
unknown complications. The typical starting dose of hydroxyurea is 15–
20 mg/kg daily, with an increase in dose every 8 wk of 2.5–5.0 mg/kg, if
no toxicities occur, up to a maximum dose of 35 mg/kg. The therapeutic
effect of hydroxyurea may require several mo of treatment. Monitoring
children who are receiving hydroxyurea is labor-intensive, with initial
visits every 2 wk and then monthly, after a therapeutic dose has been
identified. Close monitoring of the patient requires a commitment by the
parents and the patient as well as diligence by a physician to monitor
toxicity.

progression of symptoms after 30 minutes
➤if symptoms persist, treat as moderate reaction .
Moderately severe reactions
(due to moderate hypersensitivity, nonhaemolytic reactions, pyrogens
or bacterial contamination
Signs and symptoms:
■ severe itchy rash ( urticaria )
■ flushing
■ fever >38 °C or >100.4 °F (Note: fever may have been present
before the transfusion)
■ rigors
■ restlessness
■ raised heart rate.
Management:
➤stop the transfusion, but keep the IV line open with normal saline

Signs and symptoms:
■ fever >38 °C or >100.4 °F (note: fever may have been present
before the transfusion)
■ rigors, restlessness
■ raised heart rate, fast breathing
■ black or dark red urine (haemoglobinuria)
■ unexplained bleeding, pallor, jaundice
■ confusion
■ collapse.
Note that in an unconscious child, uncontrolled bleeding or shock
may be the only signs of a life-threatening reaction.
Management:
➤stop the transfusion, but keep the IV line open with normal saline
➤maintain airway and give oxygen
➤give epinephrine (adrenaline) 0.01 mg/kg body weight (equal to 0.1
ml of 1 in 10 000 solution

20.Management infant of diabetic mother
Treatment of infants of diabetic mothers should be initiated before birth by frequent
prenatal evaluation of all pregnant women with overt or gestational diabetes, by
evaluation of fetal maturity, by biophysical profile, by Doppler velocimetry, and by
planning the delivery of these infants in hospitals where expert obstetric and
pediatric care is continuously available. Periconception glucose control reduces the
risk of anomalies and other adverse outcomes, and glucose control during labor
reduces the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia. Women with Type 1 diabetes who
have tight glucose control during pregnancy (average daily glucose levels <95
mg/dL) deliver infants with birthweights and anthropomorphic features that are
similar to those of infants of nondiabetic mothers. Treatment of gestational diabetes
also reduces complications; dietary advice, glucose monitoring, and insulin therapy
as needed decrease the rate of serious perinatal outcomes (death, shoulder dystocia,
bone fracture, or nerve palsy). Women with gestational diabetes may also be treated
successfully with glyburide, which may not cross the placenta. In these mothers, the
incidence of macrosomia and neonatal hypo glycemia is similar to that in mothers
with insulin-treated gestational diabetes. Regardless of size, all infants of diabetic
mothers should initially receive intensive observation and care.
Asymptomatic infants should have a blood glucose determination within 1 hr
of birth and then every hour for the next 6–8 hr
if clinically well and normoglycemic, oral or gavage feeding with breast milk
or formula should be started as soon as possible and continued at 3 hr
intervals.
If any question arises about an infant's ability to tolerate oral feeding, the
feeding should be discontinued and glucose given by peripheral intravenous
infusion at a rate of 4–8 mg/kg/min.
Hypoglycemia should be treated, even in asymptomatic infants, by frequent
feeding and/or intravenous infusion of glucose.
Bolus injections of hypertonic glucose should be avoided because they may cause
further hyperinsulinemia and potentially produce rebound hypoglycemia.

21. Management infant with hypoglycemia
1) When symptoms other than seizures are present, an intravenous bolus of
200 mg/kg (2 mL/kg) of 10% glucose is effective in elevating the blood
glucose concentration.
2) In the presence of convulsions, 4 mL/kg of 10% glucose as a bolus injection
is indicated.
3) After initial therapy, a glucose infusion should be given at 8 mg/kg/min.
4) If hypoglycemia recurs, the infusion rate and concentration should be
increased until 15–20% glucose is used.
5) If intravenous infusions of 20% glucose are inadequate to eliminate
symptoms and maintain constant normal serum glucose concentrations,
hyperinsulinemia is probably present and diazoxide should be
administered.
6) If the diazoxide is unsuccessful, octreotide may be useful
7) infants with severe persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia may
eventually need to undergo subtotal pancreatectomy .
8) The serum glucose level should be measured every 2 hr after initiating
therapy until several determinations are above 40 mg/dL.
9) Subsequently, levels should be measured every 4–6 hr
10) the treatment gradually reduced and finally discontinued when
the serum glucose value has been in the normal range
the baby asymptomatic for 24–48 hr.
11) Treatment is usually necessary for a few days to a week, rarely for several
weeks.
12) Infants at increased risk for hypoglycemia should have their serum glucose
measured within 1 hr of birth, every 1–2 hr for the 1st 6–8 hr, and then
every 4–6 hr until 24 hr of life.
13) Normoglycemic high-risk infants should receive oral or gavage feeding
with human milk or formula started at 1–3 hr of age and continued at 2–3
hr intervals for 24–48 hr.
14) An intravenous infusion of glucose at 4 mg/kg/min should be provided if
oral feedings are poorly tolerated or if asymptomatic transient neonatal
hypoglycemia develops.

22.Management of ITP
platelet transfusion in ITP is usually contraindicated unless life-threatening bleeding is
present. Initial approaches to the management of ITP include the following:
1. No therapy other than education and counseling of the family and patient for patients
with minimal, mild, and moderate symptoms, as defined earlier. This approach
emphasizes the usually benign nature of ITP and avoids the therapeutic roller coaster
that ensues once interventional therapy is begun. This approach is far less costly, and
side effects are minimal.
2. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). IVIG at a dose of 0.8–1.0 g/kg/day for 1–2 days
induces a rapid rise in platelet count (usually>20× 10
9
/L) in 95% of patients within 48
hr. IVIG appears to induce a response by downregulating Fc-mediated phagocytosis
of antibody-coated platelets. IVIG therapy is both expensive and time-consuming to
administer. Additionally, after infusion, there is a high frequency of headaches and
vomiting, suggestive of IVIG-induced aseptic meningitis.
3. Intravenous anti-D therapy. For Rh positive patients, IV anti-D at a dose of 50–
75μg/kg causes a rise in platelet count to>20× 10
9
/L in 80–90% of patients within 48–
72 hr. When given to Rh positive individuals, IV anti-D induces mild hemolytic
anemia. RBC-antibody complexes bind to macrophage Fc receptors and interfere
with platelet destruction, thereby causing a rise in platelet count. IV anti-D is
ineffective in Rh negative patients.
4. Prednisone. Corticosteroid therapy has been used for many years to treat acute and
chronic ITP in adults and children. Doses of prednisone of 1–4 mg/kg/24 hr appear to
induce a more rapid rise in platelet count than in untreated patients with ITP.
Whether bone marrow examination should be performed to rule out other causes of
thrombocytopenia, especially acute lymphoblastic leukemia, before institution of
prednisone therapy in acute ITP is controversial. Corticosteroid therapy is usually
continued for 2–3 wk or until a rise in platelet count to>20× 10
9
/L has been achieved,
with a rapid taper to avoid the long-term side effects of corticosteroid therapy,
especially growth failure, diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis.
Each of these medications may be used to treat exacerbations of ITP, which commonly occur
several wk after an initial course of therapy.
In the special case of intracranial hemorrhage, multiple modalities should be used, including
platelet transfusion, IVIG, high-dose corticosteroids, and prompt surgical consultation, with
plans for emergency splenectomy.
patients who are bleeding significantly should be treated, and these may represent only 5%
of children with ITP. Intracranial hemorrhage remains rare, and there are no data showing
that treatment actually reduces its incidence.
The role of splenectomy in ITP should be reserved for 1 of 2 circumstances. The older child
(> 4 yr) with severe ITP that has lasted >1 yr (chronic ITP) and whose symptoms are not
easily controlled with therapy is a candidate for splenectomy. Splenectomy must also be
considered when life-threatening hemorrhage (intracranial hemorrhage) complicates acute
ITP, if the platelet count cannot be corrected rapidly with transfusion of platelets and
administration of IVIG and corticosteroids. Splenectomy is associated with a lifelong risk of
overwhelming postsplenectomy infection caused by encapsulated organisms.

23.Management of severe malnutrition
Treat the following conditions
1)
Hypoglycaemia
➤Give the first feed of F-75 if it is quickly available and then continue with 2–3 hourly
feeds.
➤If the first feed is not quickly available give 50 ml of 10% glucose or sucrose
solution (1 rounded teaspoon of sugar in 31/2 tablespoons of water) orally or by
nasogastric tube, followed by the first feed as soon as possible.
➤Give 2–3-hourly feeds, day and night, at least for the first day.
➤Give appropriate antibiotics.
➤If the child is unconscious, treat with IV 10% glucose 5 ml/kg or, if unavailable, 10%
glucose or sucrose solution by nasogastric tube
Monitoring
If the initial blood glucose was low, repeat the measurement (using fingerprick
or heelprick blood and dextrostix, where available) after 30 minutes.
• If blood glucose falls <3 mmol/1 (<54 mg/dl), repeat the 10% glucose or sugar solution.
• If the rectal temperature falls <35.5 °C or if there is deterioration in the level
of consciousness, repeat the dextrostix measurement and treat accordingly.
Prevention
➤Feed 2 hourly, starting immediately or, if necessary, rehydrate first. Continue feeding
throughout the night.
2)
Hypothermia
➤Feed the child immediately (if necessary, rehydrate first).
➤Make sure the child is clothed (including the head), Cover with a warmed
blanket and place a heater (not pointing directly at the child) or lamp nearby,
or put the child on the mother’s bare chest or abdomen (skin-to-skin) and
Cover them with a warmed blanket and/or warm clothing.
➤Give appropriate antibiotics.
Monitoring
• Take the child’s rectal temperature 2-hourly until it rises to
more than 36.5 °C. Take it half-hourly if a heater is being used.
• Ensure that the child is Covered at all times, especially at night.
Keep the head Covered, preferably with a warm bonnet to reduce heat loss.
• Check for hypoglycaemia whenever hypothermia is found.
Prevention
➤Feed the child 2-hourly, starting immediately
➤Always give feeds through the night.
➤Place the bed in a warm, draught-free part of the ward and keep the child Covered.
➤Change wet nappies, clothes and bedding to keep the child and the bed dry.
➤Avoid exposing the child to cold (e.g. after bathing, or during medical examinations).
➤Let the child sleep with the mother for warmth in the night.

after wrapping the child, the
head needs to be covered
with a cap or bonnet to
prevent heat loss.

Dehydration:
Treatment
Do not use the IV route for rehydration except in cases of shock .
Standard WHO-ORS solution for general use has a high sodium and low
potassium content, which is not suitable for severely malnourished children.
Instead, give special rehydration solution for malnutrition, ReSoMal (see recipe
below, or use commercially available ReSoMal).
➤Give the ReSoMal rehydration fluid, orally or by nasogastric tube, much
more slowly than you would when rehydrating a well-nourished child:
— give 5 ml/kg every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours
— then give 5–10 ml/kg/hour for the next 4–10 hours.
The exact amount depends on how much the child wants, volume of stool
loss, and whether the child is vomiting.
➤If rehydration is still occurring at 6 hours and 10 hours, give starter F-75
instead of ReSoMal at these times. Use the same
volume of starter F-75 as for ReSoMal.
Monitoring
During rehydration, respiration and pulse rate should fall and urine start to be
passed. The return of tears, a moist mouth, less sunken eyes and fontanelle,
and improved skin turgor are also signs that rehydration is proceeding, but
many severely malnourished children will not show these changes even when
fully rehydrated. Monitor weight gain.
Monitor the progress of rehydration half-hourly for 2 hours, then hourly for
the next 4–10 hours. Be alert for signs of overhydration, which is very
dangerous and may lead to heart failure. Check:
• respiratory rate
• pulse rate
• urine frequency
• frequency of stools and vomit.
If you find signs of overhydration (increasing respiratory rate by 5/min and
pulse rate by 15/min), stop ReSoMal immediately and reassess after 1 hour.
Prevention
Measures to prevent dehydration from continuing watery diarrhoea are similar
to those for well-nourished children, except
that ReSoMal fluid is used instead of standard ORS.
➤If the child is breastfed, continue breastfeeding.
➤Initiate refeeding with starter F-75.
➤Give ReSoMal between feeds to replace stool losses. As a guide, give 50–
100 ml after each watery stool.

24. Rickets :
Children with nutritional vitamin D deficiency should receive vitamin D
and adequate nutritional intake of calcium and phosphorus.
There are 2 strategies for administration of vitamin D. With stoss therapy,
300,000–600,000 IU of vitamin D are administered orally or
intramuscularly as 2–4 doses over 1 day. Because the doses are observed,
stoss therapy is ideal in situations where adherence to therapy is
questionable.
The alternative is daily, high-dose vitamin D, with doses ranging from
2,000–5,000 IU/day over 4–6 wk. Either strategy should be followed by
daily vitamin D intake of 400 IU/day, typically given as a multivitamin.
It is important to ensure that children receive adequate dietary calcium
and phosphorus; this is usually provided by milk, formula, and other
dairy products.
Children who have symptomatic hypocalcemia may need intravenous
calcium acutely, followed by oral calcium supplements, which typically
can be tapered over 2–6 wk in children who receive adequate dietary
calcium. Transient use of intravenous or oral 1,25-D (calcitriol) is often
helpful in reversing hypocalcemia in the acute phase by providing active
vitamin D during the delay as supplemental vitamin D is converted to
active vitamin D. Calcitriol doses are typically 0.05 μmg/kg/day.
Intravenous calcium is initially given as an acute bolus for symptomatic
hypocalcemia (20 mg/kg of calcium chloride or 100 mg/kg of calcium
gluconate).
Some patients require a continuous intravenous calcium drip, titrated to
maintain the desired serum calcium level. These patients should transition
to enteral calcium, with most infants requiring approximately 1,000 mg of
elemental calcium.

Intraosseous Access:
Features of IO infusion:
used when intravascular access cannot be obtained
Rapidly and easily inserted
Low complication rate
Roughly has the same absorption rate as iv access
Safe with resuscitation medications
Not for long term use ( usually 24-48 hrs )
Require less skill and practice than central and umbilical line
placement
Recommended in <6 yrs but can be used in all age groups
Procedure:
1- Prepare the necessary equipment, i.e.:
— bone marrow aspiration or intraosseous needles (15–18 gauge or,
if not available, 21 gauge). If these are not available, large-bore
hypodermic or butterfly needles can be used in young children
— antiseptic solution and sterile gauze to clean the site
— a sterile 5-ml syringe filled with normal saline
— a second sterile 5-ml syringe
— IV infusion equipment
— sterile gloves.
2- Place padding under the child’s knee so that it is bent 30° from the
straight (180°) position, with the heel resting on the table.
3- Locate the correct position (described above and shown in the
illustration).
4- Wash the hands and put on sterile gloves.
5- Clean the skin over and surrounding the site with an antiseptic
solution.
6- Stabilize the proximal tibia with the left hand (this hand is now not
sterile) by grasping the thigh and knee above and lateral to the
cannulation site, with the fingers and thumb wrapped around the
knee but not directly behind the insertion site.
7- Palpate the landmarks again with the sterile glove (right hand).

8- Insert the needle at a 90° angle with the bevel pointing towards the
foot.
Advance the needle slowly using a gentle but firm, twisting or
drilling motion.
9- Stop advancing the needle when you feel a sudden decrease in
resistance
or when you can aspirate blood. The needle should now be fixed in
the bone.
10- Remove the stylet.
11- Aspirate 1 ml of the marrow contents (looks like blood), using the
5-ml syringe, to confirm that the needle is in the marrow cavity.
12- Attach the second 5-ml syringe filled with normal saline.
13- Stabilize the needle in place in the antero-medial surface
at the junction of the upper and middle third of the tibia.
and slowly inject 3 ml while palpating the area for any
leakage under the skin. If no infiltration is seen, start
the infusion.
14- Apply dressings and secure the needle in its place.
Note: Failure to aspirate marrow contents does not mean that the
needle is not correctly placed.
15- Monitor the infusion by the ease with which the fluid flows and by
the clinical response of the patient.
16- Check that the calf does not swell during the infusion.
Stop the intraosseous infusion as soon as venous access is available.
In any case, it should not continue for more than 8 hours.
Complications:
1- Incomplete penetration of the bony cortex
Signs: The needle is not well fixed; infiltration occurs under the
skin.
2- Penetration of the posterior bone cortex (more common)
Signs: Infiltration occurs, calf becomes tense.
3- Infection Cellulites at the site of the infusion, osteomyelitis
4- Compartmental syndrome
5- Hematoma
6- Fracture
Note: you need to read about Contrindication of intraosseoss
infusion

Measurement of blood pressure:
WIPE
Ask about patient's name , age and sex
1- Inform the child and the mother that you will measure the blood pressure
2- The child must be relaxed in sitting position if can sit
3- Choose a suitable cuff by:
Measuring the length of the arm from acromion to olecranon
Calculate two thirds of this length
Measure the width of the cuff and connect it with the
sphygmomanometer
4- Apply the cuff to the arm, ensuring that it fits securely.
5- Localize the brachial artery at about
2
cm above the cubital fossa
.
6- The level of the arm (cubital fossa) must be at the level of the heart
7- Palpate brachial pulse and Inflate the cuff till the pulse disappears
8- Inflate the cuff to 20-30 mmHg more than that point. You can estimate the
systolic blood pressure by palpating the brachial or radial artery pulse and
inflating the cuff until you can no longer feel it.
9- Place the stethoscope over the brachial artery pulse, ensuring that it does not
touch the cuff. and start to deflate the cuff slowly 2-3mm/sec.
10-
Record the points when the sound appears and disappears as systolic
and diastolic blood pressure
11- Measure the height of the patient and plot it on the centile chart
12- plot your reading on special chart for blood pressure
13- You also should mention that you need to measure blood pressure in other
hand and in standing position.
After the procedure
14- Ensure that the patient is comfortable.
15- Tell the child or the mother about the blood pressure and explain its
significance. Hypertension can only be confirmed through several blood
pressure measurements taken over time.
16- Thank the patient.

Ventolin nebulizer:
1) Place the air compressor on a sturdy surface that will support its
weight plug the cord from the compressor into properly grounded
(three prong) electrical outlet.
2) Wash your hands with soap and water and dry completely with a clean
towel.
3) Carefully measure the medicine exactly as you have been instructed.
use a separate syringe for each medicine
4) see the expire date of the drug
5) the average dose for a single treatment is (0.25 to 2.5 mg of salbutamol)
diluted in 2-5 ml of sterile normal saline
6) remove the top part of the nebulizer cup.
7) Place the medicine in the bottom of the nebulizer cup.
8) Attach the top portion of the nebulizer cup and connect the
mouthpiece or face mask to the cup
9) Connect the tubing to both the aerosol compressor and nebulizer cup.
10) Turn on the compressor with the on/off switch. Once you turn on the
compressor you should see a light , mist coming from the back of the
tube opposite the mouthpiece
11) Let the pt. sit up straight on a comfortable chair
12) If you are using a mask , position it comfortably and securely on the
face
13) If you are using a mouth piece place it between the pt. teeth and lips
around it.
14) Take slow , deep breaths through the mouth , if possible , hold each
breath for two to three second before breathing out, this allow the
medication to settle into the airways
15) Continue the treatment for 7-10 minutes
16) Turn the compressor off
17) Ask the pt. to take several deep breath and cough
18) Wash your hands with warm water and soap and dry them with dry
towel.
Care for nebulizer
1. after each treatment rise the nebulizer cup with warm water ,shake off
excess water and let it air dry
2.at the end of each day , the nebulizer cup , mask or mouth piece should be
washed in warm , soapy water
3.no need to clean the tube that connect the nebulizer to the air compressor
4. every third day , after washing your equipment disinfect the equipment
using a vinegar/water solution or other disinfectant solution

type of transfusion
5-
See the blood is the correct group and the patient’s name and
number are on both the label and the form calculate the volume
you need
6-
see the blood transfusion bag for any leaks
7-
the blood pack has not been out of the refrigerator for more than
2 hours, the plasma is not pink , and the red cells do not look
purple or black
8-
any signs of heart failure. If present, give 1mg/kg of furosemide
IV at the start of the transfusion in children whose circulating
blood volume is normal. Do not inject into the blood pack.
During transfusion:
1- record the time of start of transfusion
2- if available, use an infusion device to control the rate of the
transfusion
3- check that the blood is flowing at the correct speed
4- look for signs of a transfusion reaction particularly carefully in the
first 15 minutes of the transfusion
5- Observe and record the child’s general appearance, temperature,
pulse and respiratory rate, urine output, urine color , skin rash every
30 minutes
After transfusion:
record the time the transfusion was started and ended, the volume of
blood transfused, and the presence of any reactions.
Reassess the child. If more blood is needed, a similar quantity
should be transfused and the dose of furosemide (if given) repeated.
Note:
Desferal pump and its use is very important subject so

Family counseling
:
Note : the following information are taken from the portfolios of
previous years with slight modifications.
Febrile convulsion:
Inform parents that these dramatic events do not indicate future
neurologic dysfunction or disease& There is no evidence that they cause
death, brain damage, epilepsy, mental retardation, a decrease in IQ, or
learning difficulties
also inform them Febrile seizures are age dependent & rarely occur after
6 year old.
Educate the parents what to do during seizure :
leave the child on the floor.
slide a blanket under the child if the floor is hard.
Move him only if he is in a dangerous location.
Remove objects that may injure him.
Loosen any tight clothing, especially around the neck. If possible, open
or remove clothes from the waist up.
If he vomits, or if saliva and mucus build up in the mouth, turn him on
his side or stomach. This is also important if it looks like the tongue is
getting in the way of breathing.
Don’t try to force anything into his mouth to prevent him from biting
the tongue, as this increases the risk of injury.
Don’t try to restrain their child or try to stop the seizure movements.
If possible try to time the seizure using watch or a clock. Because they're
so alarming, seizures often seem to last longer than they really do
Also try to note which part of child's body begins to shake first, and look
for other signs of illness.
Focus their attention on bringing the fever down:
o Insert an acetaminophen suppository (if have some) into the
child's rectum.
o DO NOT try to give anything by mouth.
o Apply cool Washcloths to the forehead and neck. Sponge the
rest of the body with lukewarm (not cold) water. Cold water
may make the fever worse.

o After the seizure is over and child is awake, give the normal
dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
When to Contact a Medical Professional:
If the seizure is lasting several minutes bring the child to the
hospital.
if repeated seizures occur during the same illness, or if this looks
like a new type of seizure for your child.
if other symptoms occur before or after the seizure, such as:
1) Abnormal movements
2) Agitation
3) Confusion
4) Drowsiness
5) Nausea
6) Problems with coordination
7) Rash
8) Sedation
9) Tremors
Possible Complications
Biting oneself
Breathing fluid into the lungs, pneumonia
Complications if a serious infection, such as meningitis, caused the fever
Injury from falling down or bumping into objects
Injury from long or complicated seizures
Seizures not caused by fever
Side effects of medications used to treat and prevent seizures (if prescribed)
prognosis: Febrile seizures are not associated with reduction in later
intellectual performance, and most children with febrile seizures have
only a slightly greater risk of later epilepsy than the general population.
Factors that are associated with a substantially greater risk of later
epilepsy include the presence of complex features during the seizure or
postictal period, a positive family history of epilepsy, an initial febrile
seizure before 12 mo of age, delayed developmental milestones, or a pre-
existing neurologic disorder. The risk of epilepsy is much higher than in
the general population in children with one or more complex febrile
seizures, especially if the seizures are focal in children with an underlying
neurologic disorder. The incidence of epilepsy is >9% when several risk
factors are present, compared with an incidence of 1% in children who
have febrile convulsions and no risk factors.

127
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA):
The child's family must understand clearly that diabetes
is a life long illness and their child must be kept on
insulin for the rest of his life.
one should emphasize that insulin is not harmful and
must not discontinued by the family also education about
herbal medicine and traditional medicine which causes a
significant proportion of poor compliance to treatment
The parent must also have an idea about the Long-term
complications of DM1 which include retinopathy,
nephropathy, neuropathy, and macrovascular disease.
Before hospital discharge, the family and child must
show competence in glucose monitoring
insulin administration including how to calculate the dose
of insulin ,how to give subcutaneous injections ,the site
of injection(thigh, abdomen ,arms ….etc)
this site should be periodically ;
various aspects of nutrition, especially related to
carbohydrate intake instruction must be given so that the
family understand that no diet apart from refined sugar is
restricted (refined sugar is allowed once or twice monthly
or if the child is participating for example in a birthday
party provided that the insulin dose is increased)
the ideal diet consist of carbohydrates 50% to 65% of the
total calories; protein, 12% to 20%; and fat, less than
30%. Saturated fat should contribute less than 10% of the
total caloric intake, and cholesterol intake should be less
than 300 mg/24 hours.
High fiber content is recommended because it improve
glycemic control
recognition and management of
hypoglycemia(Symptoms of hypoglycemia include
headache, visual changes, confusion, irritability, or

seizures tremors, tachycardia, diaphoresis, or anxiety)
and hyperglycemia; when and how to check for urinary
ketones; and what to do during intercurrent illnesses .
The child must be given close follow-up care in the
outpatient clinic and by telephone and be given 24-hour
access to a physician in the event of an emergency.
Families need clear guidelines on when and how to call
for help. In the early stages, many families need daily
telephone calls for reassurance, to assess glucose control,
and to adjust the insulin regimen.
A visiting home health nurse can help assess the family's
management skills and facilitate the transition to
outpatient therapy.
Also they must be told that exercise in controlled D.M
reduce insulin requirement by 10%
After the initial period the child must be followed every
3-4 month with screening for possible complication of
diabetes.
Prognosis
T1DM is a serious, chronic disease. It has been estimated
that the average life span of individuals with diabetes is
about 10 yr shorter than that of the non diabetic population.
Although diabetic children eventually attain a height
within the normal adult range, puberty may be delayed,
and the final height may be less than the genetic potential
Note: counseling to family about insulin injection
and storage it's so important and frequently
Coming in OSCE so please read about it.

Nephrotic syndrome
You should tell the family these facts and advices:
Nephrotic syndrome is not infectious. May be hereditary.
High percentage of patient will not achieve complete remission
The child should be bring to the medical attention if he develops abdominal
pain, fever, or look ill.
Diet:
Should provide adequate energy & protein.
Sodium restriction participates in reduction of edema.
Fluid restriction per se is not required.
Micronutrient supplement: - According to the condition of the patient may
need supplement with iron , vitamin D ,Ca
Activity: There are no activity restrictions for patients with nephrotic
syndrome. Ongoing activity, rather than bed rest, will reduce the risk
of blood clots.
Vaccinations should be taken: -
Yearly influenza vaccination is recommended to prevent serious illness
in the immunocompromised patient, as well as to prevent this possible
trigger of relapse.
Pneumococcal vaccination should be administered to all patients with
INS upon presentation. Vaccination should be repeated every 5 years
while the patient continues to have relapses.
Routine childhood vaccines with live virus strains are contraindicated
during steroid therapy and for a minimum of 1 month afterward.
Care
must be taken in administering live viral vaccines to children in
remission from FRNS, who might need to restart steroid therapy shortly
after vaccination.
Because of the high risk of varicella infection in the
immunocompromised patient, post exposure prophylaxis with varicella-
zoster immune globulin is recommended in the non immune patient.
Patient with varicella-zoster infection should be treated with acyclovir
and carefully monitored.
Varicella immunization is safe and effective in
patients with INS who are in remission and off steroid treatment (with
the usual precautions for administering live viral vaccines to patients
who have received steroids).
Routine non live viral vaccines should be administered according to their
recommended schedules. Despite the former belief that routine

immunization can trigger relapse of nephrotic syndrome, no solid
evidence supports this, and the risk of these preventable childhood
illnesses exceeds the theoretical, unproven risk for triggering relapses.
Explain to the parents about the possible complications of the disease and
the side effects of the treatment .
Long-term monitoring
Ambulatory monitoring of the child's condition and response to treatment
is a very important aspect of the overall management of nephrotic
syndrome.
Home monitoring of urine protein and fluid status is an important aspect
of management.
Parents and/or caregivers should be trained to monitor first morning urine
proteins at home with urine dipstick.
Weight should be checked every morning as well and a home logbook
should be kept recording the patient’s daily weight, urine protein, and
steroid dose if the child is receiving steroids.
Families and patients are instructed to call for any edema, weight gain, or
urine testing 2+ or more for protein for more than 2 days. Rapid detection of
relapse of proteinuria by home testing of urine can allow early initiation of
steroid treatment before edema and other complications develop. Urine
testing at home is also useful in monitoring response (or non response) to
steroid treatment.

Bronchial asthma
Asthma is not an infectious disease
Lifestyle and home remedies:
Taking steps to reduce your child's exposure to his or her asthma triggers will
lessen the possibility of asthma attacks. Steps to help avoid triggers vary depending
on what triggers your child's asthma. Here are some things that may help:
Maintain low humidity at home.
Keep indoor air clean.
Reduce pet dander. If your child is allergic to dander, it's best to avoid pets
with fur or feathers. Regularly bathing or grooming your pets also may
reduce the amount of dander in your surroundings.
Use your air conditioner. Air conditioning helps reduce the amount of
airborne pollen and lowers indoor humidity and can reduce your child's
exposure to dust mites. If you don't have air conditioning, try to keep your
windows closed during pollen season.
Make your home more asthma friendly. Minimize dust that may aggravate
nighttime symptoms by replacing certain items in your bedroom. For
example, encase pillows, mattresses and box springs in dust-proof Covers.
Consider removing carpeting and installing hard flooring, particularly in
your child's bedroom. Use Washable curtains and blinds.
Clean regularly. Clean your home at least once a week to remove dust and
allergens.
Reduce your child's exposure to cold air. If your child's asthma is worsened
by cold, dry air, wearing a face mask outside can help.
Make treatment a regular part of life. If your child has to take daily medication,
don't make a big deal out of it , it should be as routine as eating breakfast or
brushing teeth.
Make sure your child gets exercise. Don't let asthma sideline your child. Regular
exercise reduces symptoms and is important for your child's overall health. With

asthma under control, there should be no limit to your child's physical activity
level.
Help your child to maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight can worsen
asthma symptoms, and it puts your child at risk of other health problems.
Regular clinic visit 2-4 per year to maintain good control to check up
Treatment of co-morbid condition (sinusitis, rhinitis ,Gastroesophageal reflux).
Prognosis
The prognosis for asthma is good, especially for children with mild disease. Of
asthma diagnosed during childhood, 54% of cases will no longer carry the
diagnosis after a decade. The extent of permanent lung damage in people with
asthma is unclear. Airway remodeling is observed, but it is unknown whether
these represent harmful or beneficial changes. Although conclusions from studies
are mixed, most studies show that early treatment with glucocorticoids prevents
or ameliorates decline in lung function as measured by several parameters. For
those who continue to suffer from mild symptoms, corticosteroids can help most
to live their lives with few disabilities. It is more likely to consider immediate
medication of inhaled corticosteroids as soon as asthma attacks occur. According
to studies conducted, patients with relatively mild asthma who have received
inhaled corticosteroids within 12 months of their first asthma symptoms achieved
good functional control of asthma after 10 years of individualized therapy as
compared to patients who received this medication after 2 years (or more) from
their first attacks. Though they (delayed) also had good functional control of
asthma, they were observed to exhibited slightly less optimal disease control and
more signs of airway inflammation. Asthma mortality has decreased over the last
few decades due to better recognition and improvement in care.

In α-thalassemia, there are relatively fewer α-globin chains and an excess of β- and γ-globin chains. These
excess chains form Bart's hemoglobin (γ
4
) in fetal life and Hb H (β
4
) after birth. These abnormal tetramers
are not as lethal, but lead to extravascular hemolysis. Prenatally, a fetus with α-thalassemia may become
symptomatic because Hb F requires sufficient α-globin gene production, whereas postnatally, infants with
β-thalassemia become symptomatic because Hb A requires adequate production of β-globin genes
