4
BIRTH INJURIES INTRACRANIAL INJURIES SPINAL CORD INJURIES NERVE INJURIES
5
INTRACRANIAL INJURIES Most common site of fatal and disabling injury – intracranial cavity Preterm – more prone to hypoxic cerebral injury – spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage Term infants – more prone to subdural hemorrhages which are traumatic in origin
6
INTRACRANIAL INJURIES CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS: Nonspecific Most common: Respiratory distress Pallor Lethargy/somnolence with poor response to stimuli Hypo- or hyperreflexia Convulsions Signs of ICP Unequal pupils Tachy- or bradycardia
7
INTRACRANIAL INJURIES DIAGNOSIS: Clinical history/course Spinal taps (done in extreme caution) Cranial ultrasount vs CT scan of the head TREATMENT: Minimal handling Management of ICP – fluid restriction Furosemide paCO2 25-30 torr Thermoregulation Oxygen and ventilatory support, as warranted Anticonvulsant for siezure Vitamin K for coagulation defect

Clinical fulminant insiduous insiduous Sxspneumonia meningitis multisystem Morbidityneurologic prolonged prolonged handicap hospitalization hospitalization Mortality15-50% 10-15%
20
INFECTIONS OF THE NEWBORN DIAGNOSIS OF SEPSIS Clinical judgment Recovery of the organism from a meaningful site: Blood culture UA vs UV specimens - The best alternative is still blood culture from a peripheral vein Volume of blood – 0.5 ml should be adequate. Larger specimens will often grow faster Single vs multiple blood cultures- With early onset sepsis, a single culture would suffice. With late- onset sepsis esp with possible CONS, at least two cultures should be obtained.

JAUNDICE IN THE NEWBORN BILIRUBIN METABOLISM biliverdinHemoglobinbilirubin Heme oxygenase C0Iron biliverdin reductase 1 mole of Hgb = 1 mole each of C0 & bilirubin Transport = bilirubin is transported to liver bound to serum albumin Uptake = nonpolar bilirubin (dissociated from albumin) crosses the hepatocyte plasma membrane, binds to cytoplasmic ligandin (Y protein) for transport to SER Note: Phenobarbital increases concentration of ligandin
31
