In evaluation of general appearance, what is the component that need to be included ?
General colour

Inotropic agents such as dopamine or adrenaline
Antihypertensive medications
Diuretics
Beta-blockers
How to assess end-organ dysfunction?
Brain (mental status)
Liver (enzyme levels)
Lungs (oxygen saturation)
Heart (electrocardiogram)
What are the physiological status of cardiopulmonary condition?
Stable

Cardiopulmonary failure
Hypotension
What are the fluid used in a resuscitation ?

Normal Saline (NS) only
Lactated Ringer's solution only
Protein Energy Malnutrition
(Wellcome Classification) ?
Kwashiorkor
Marasmus
Obesity
Anorexia
What is the characteristics for each of this terminology ? -- underweight/marasmus/kwashiorkor -- growth faltering -- stunted growth (short stature) -- short for genetic potential -- overweight and obesity
underweight/marasmus/kwashiorkor : WELLCOME CLASSIFICATION
growth faltering : VERY LOW SEMUA GRAPH
stunted growth (short stature) : KALAU HEIGHT JA YANG LESS THAN -2SD OR 3RD PERCENTILE
short for genetic potential : HEIGHT>1.5SD SCORE BELOW MPH

0.5 - 1 ml/kg/hr
1 - 2 mls/kg/hr
2 - 3 mls/kg/hr
1 - 1.5 mls/kg/hr
What are the early and late signs of shock?
Tachypnea, Tachycardia, Poor systemic perfusion, Weak central pulses
Weak central pulses, Altered mental status, Hypotension, Bradycardia
Tachycardia, Altered mental status, Hypotension, Bradycardia
Tachypnea, Weak central pulses, Altered mental status, Hypotension
In airway examination, what are the components and explanation?
Clear (no assistance needed to maintain airway patency)
Maintainable (non-invasive assistance needed such as bag-valve mask, head positioning or suctioning)
Not maintainable (needed invasive ventilation such as endotracheal intubation, needle cricothyrotomy or relief of foreign bodies)
Obstructed (complete blockage of the airway requiring immediate intervention)
What are the formula for water requirement ?
1st DOL: 60 mls/kg/day, 2nd DOL: 80 mls/kg/day, 3rd DOL: 100 mls/kg/day, 4th DOL: 120 mls/kg/day
First 10 kg: 100 mls/kg/day, Second 10 kg: 50 mls/kg/day, Rest of kg: 20 mls/kg/day
Up to 6 months: 150 mls/kg/day, Up to 1 year old: 120 mls/kg/day
1st DOL: 50 mls/kg/day, 2nd DOL: 70 mls/kg/day, 3rd DOL: 90 mls/kg/day, 4th DOL: 110 mls/kg/day
What are the signs of respiratory distress?
Tachypnea, Recession, Abnormal breathing sounds, Skin colour changes
Coughing, Sneezing, Fever, Headache
Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Abdominal pain
Fatigue, Muscle pain, Joint pain, Skin rash
How to calculate calories requirement ?
In the first year, 1000 calories, then add 100 calories for each year up till 12 years.
Start with 1200 calories and increase by 50 calories each year.
Begin with 800 calories and add 200 calories for each subsequent year.
Calculate based on the child's weight and height only.
Heart rates in paediatrics (infants VS children) What are amount for sinus tachycardia and amount for SVT ?
SVT in Infants: >= 220, Children: >= 180
Normal to Sinus Tachycardia in Infants: 85 to 220, Children: 60 to 180
SVT in Infants: >= 180, Children: >= 160
Normal to Sinus Tachycardia in Infants: 70 to 200, Children: 50 to 170
What is the uniqueness of septic shock and what are the manifestation of septic shock ?
In septic shock, the skin color becomes warm due to vasodilation and increased blood flow to the peripheries.
In septic shock, the skin color becomes cold due to vasoconstriction and decreased blood flow to the peripheries.
In septic shock, the heart rate decreases significantly due to reduced blood volume.
In septic shock, the patient experiences severe abdominal pain and diarrhea.
What is the causes of growth faltering (FTT) ?
Inadequate calorie intake
Inadequate caloric absorption
Excessive calorie expenditure
Insufficient physical activity
In circulation, how to evaluate responsiveness (brain perfusion) ?
AVPU
ABCDE
CABCDE
SAMPLE
Definition of each physiological status in cardiopulmonary condition?
Stable
Respiratory distress: increase effort breathing
Shock: cardiac output cannot meet demands of the rest of the body
Cardiopulmonary failure: both failure of cardiac and respiratory leading to signs - agonal respirations/bradycardia/cyanosis and poor perfusion
In cardiopulmonary failure, how is the condition of central (femoral) and distal pulses (DPA) ?
Loss of central pulses occurs before loss of peripheral pulses
Loss of peripheral pulses occurs before loss of central pulses
Central pulses remain unaffected until the end stages
Distal pulses are always stronger than central pulses
