PICU Board ReviewJanuary 2014
Stanford UniversityLoren D. Sacks, MD
Ouch!!The most common thoracic injury seen in children is:a. Pulmonary contusionb. Aortic rupturec. Clavicular fractured. Myocardial contusione. Tracheal disruption
You’ve got the shakes… A 6-year-old with renal failure develops seizures after 6 days in the PICD. Her medicationsinclude fentanyl, meperidine, digoxin, atracurium, meropenem, and dobutamine. Which of thefollowing is MOST likely implicated in her seizures?
a. Toxic metabolite of atracuriumb. Digoxin toxicityc. Accumulation of fentanyl metabolitesd. Meperidinee. Meropenem
AtracuriumNon-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking
agent, first synthesized in 1974Cisatracurium = purified R-cis R-cis isomer
Metabolization of Paralytics:Succinylcholine, Mivacurium CholinesterasesVecuronium Deacetylated and excreted in
bileAtracurium Hoffman degradation
Side effects:Renal failure can lead to increased laudanosine
DigoxinPurified glycoside similar to Digitoxin
(isolated from the foxglove plant)First described by William Withering in 1785
Mechanism: Binds to myocardial Na-K-ATPase pumpIncreases intracellular Ca+Longer Phase 4 and 0
Adverse effects: “PAT with Block” Seizures ~ 0.1%
FentanylSynthetic opioid first synthesized by Janssen
Pharmaceuticals in 1959Mechanism of actions:
Bind mu-receptors to inhibit neurotransmitter release in pain fibers
High lipophilicity allows for easy CNS penetration
Clearance:Primarily cleared by the liverNo active metabolites
MeperidineAlso known as…
Demerol!First synthetic opioid (1932)
Acts primarily at mu recepMay act at the kappa-receptor to stop shivering
Clearance: Metabolized to normeperidineNormeperidine is cleared in the urineElevated normeperidine levels are associated
with seizures (often fatal)
MeropenemCarbapenam antibiotic
Similar class: Imipenem, ErtapenamMechanism:
Beta-lactam inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis
Resistant to beta-lactamaseAdverse Effects:
Most common = diarrhea, nausea, vomitingC.diff in 3.6% of patients taking Meropenem

My heart is racing!A 14-year-old male quadriplegic is postoperative day 7 following spinal surgery to stabilize a C4-5 fracture. He had been doing well for several days. You are called to his bedside emergently for acute tachycardia (HR 175) and hypertension (BP 220/130). He is awake and diaphoretic. You note that he has been oIiguric for over 10 hours. The best initial response in this scenario is to:
a. Obtain blood cultures and start broad spectrum antibiotics·b. Obtain an emergent head CT scanc. Institute beta blocker therapyd. Catheterize the bladdere. Administer intravenous fluids until urine output is established
Bladder Innervation
Bladder Function with SCIThroaco-lumbar Injury (Sympathetic)
Decreased internal sphincter toneDecreased distensibility of the bladder
Sacral Injury (Parasympathetic)Increased internal sphincter toneIncreased bladder distension
Rostral Spine Injury (Somatic)Stretch receptors and spinal reflexes
intact, but loss of EUS controlFrequently develop spasms as the
bladder contracts against a closed EUS

Speaking of hearts…A 4-year-old girl status post complete repair of Tetralogy of Fallot develops tachycardia on the first postoperative night. Her surface ECG (bottom) and simultaneous univentricular atrial wire recording (top) are shown in the figure below.
Based on the electrocardiograms the most likely diagnosis of her tachycardia is:a. Atrial fibrillationb. Atrial flutterc. Junctional ectopic tachycardiad. Ectopic atrial tachycardiae. Sinus tachycardia
Atrial Fibrillation
Automatic signals from multiple foci in the atrium, often around the pulmonary veins
Result in atrial “quivering”, but near-normal ventricular conduction
Atrial Flutter
Rapid atrial contractions due to a re-entrant circuit (usually in the RA in infants)
Rare in infancy, this condition usually resolves after conversion
Characteristic saw-tooth patterns in II, III, and aVF
Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia
Impulse arises from a single ectopic focus in the atrium
Accounts for 10-20% of all pediatric SVT
Back to the question at hand…
Junctional Ectopic TachycardiaEnhanced automaticity in the region of the
AV-NodeFeatures:
AV DissociationVentricular rate > Atrial rateUsually occurs in the immediate post-op period
Causes: May be inflammation/injury of conducting fibersFamily history in 50-55% of adult patientsMost common occurrence is after Tet Repair
Take a deep breath…Which of the following findings in a tracheal aspirate is MOST indicative of bacterial pneumonia in a patient who has been ventilated in your PICU for one week?
a. 15,000 colony-forming units of Gram-negative rods on a bronchoalveolar lavageb. Gram-positive organisms in chains on a gram stain of tracheal aspiratec. Positive tracheal aspirate for Pseudomonasd. Lobar infiltrate that clears within 24 hourse. Positive blood culture for coagulase-negative staphylococci

Our friend the nephron
Diabetic KetoacidosisAnion-Gap Acidosis and Hyperglycemia
Low insulin inability to utilize glucoseProduction of beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetic
acidPotassium
Extracellular shifts due to acidosis, lack of insulinWasted in urine (H-K-ATPase symporter)
SodiumPseudohyponatremia due to hyperglycemia“True Na” = (Measured Na) + 1.6x[(Glucose -
100)/100]
Diabetes InsipidusCentral DI:
Lack of ADH production from the posterior pituitary
Nephrogenic DI:Inability of the collecting duct to respond to ADHV2 Receptor located on X-q28Aquaporin-2 Receptor accounts for ~10% of
congenital cases Loss of ADH:
Inability to resorb free H2O excessive, dilute UOP
Hypovolemia increased aldosterone
SIADHRelease of excessive ADH
Associated with CNS pathology (tumor, TBI, etc.)
Can be induced by carbamazepine, cyclophosphamide
Results: Retention of H2O volume expansionDepressed aldosterone
HyperaldosteronismAldosterone
Primary mineralocorticoid Synthesized in zona glomerulosa
Normal actions: Distal convoluted tubule K+ and H+
excretionCollecting duct Na+ and Cl- resaborptionH2O follows Na+
Excessive states: Metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia
