pediatric hypotension. Low blood pressure in children
In most developing countries, low normal blood pressure is very common, its mainly related to poor nutrition including decreased intake. More so in children when any illness in children predominantly results in decreased intake and thus subclinical hypovolemia.
I had personally attended many deaths in children in intensive care settings in tertiary care settings, they aere associated mainly with hypovolemia whatever the diagnosis be.
Sometimes it was fluid restriction, sometimes inadequate correction of fluid deficit and sometimes excess diuretic administration with fluid restriction.All these surely worsen hemodynamics in
situations like nephrotic syndrome, shock sepsis, meningitis, congestive geart failure etc.
here are simple rules that help us in avoiding unnecessary use of inotropes in children especially dopamine , dobutamine and adrenaline.
following are the levels of systolic blood pressure lower normal limits below which inotrope support may be warranted provided a failur to fluid resucitation is documented with at least 60 ml/kg fluid infusion in 2 hours.
weight of child blood pressure lower normal systolic
1-2 kg 50 mm Hg
3-10 kg 60 mm Hg
10 kg and above 70 mm Hg (plus double the age in years, when age is 10 or more)
( according to standard guidelines the inotropes need to be started below 60 mmHg systolic BP in newborn, below 70mm Hg in infants and below 80 mm Hg in children upto 10 years, and above 10 years below 90 mmHg.
Most books give guidelines to maintain systolic BP to 50th centile, and give guidelines as when it drops below 50th centile, start inotropes. But this is unjustified in clinical settings when there is a significant chance of the blood pressure being normal even at 10-50th centile. So considering the normal Gaussian variation, every blood pressure cant be treated with inotropes when it starts falling below 50th centile.
Lets just give a thought, why is blood pressure needed for? to perfuse the distal most part of extremeties to maintain oxygen distribution and saturation to 96%. If the same is maintained, which can be easily assessed and monitored in children due to tehir thin skin; why is there a cry to maintain systolic BP even if saturation and perfusion is stable and normal.
Blood pressure being regulated by various mechanisms and can change with childs activity, movement of cuff tube and cuff size and also proper size BP cuffs in children is a known rarity often, its impractical to trust the readings of BP just to define hypotension. And since ist last thing to change, may be you have to wait to see the effect of ongoing therapy?
(the arguments made by many are that if BP is at 50th centile or just below it, that means body has given an indication of failing BP regulation and needs inotropes; but friends, thats not so; as if body regulatory mechanisms fail, it should immediately drop below 10th centile.
To summarise, for all practical purposes, fluid resuscitation is warranted as life saving measure, when
newborn systolic blood pressure falls below 50 mm Hg
infant systolic blood pressure falls below 60 mm Hg
and systolic child blood pressure falls below 70 mm Hg
REMEMBER DONOT THINK OF INOTROPES UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE SURE THAT BODY HAS ENOUGH BLOOD VOLUME (40-80cc per kg) IN BLOOD VESSELS, THIS CAN BE CONFIRMED BY CHECKING CVP, IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN 5 TO START INOTROPES (or at least 60-80 cc/kg fluid has to be pushed in), SO BUILD UP VENOUS VOLUME BEFORE GETTING INOTROPE SUPPORT.

methods of recording BP
Infants | Older children |
Auscultation | Auscultation |
Flush method | |
Palpation method | |
Ultrasonic (Doppler) and oscillometric (Dinamp) devices |
Blood pressure should be measured after 3-5 minutes of rest in the seated position with the cubital fossa at heart level. Infants and toddlers may be supine. The cuff should be inflated to a pressure of 20-30 mmHg above systolic blood pressure with a cuff deflation rate of 2-3 mmHg/sec. It should be recorded at least twice on each occasion.
Systolic blood pressure is determined by the onset of the ‘tapping’ Kortokoff sounds. The definition of the diastolic blood pressure is changed from muffling of the K sounds (the 4th Kortokoff sound) in children under 13 years old to the disappearance of the sounds (the 5th Kortokoff sound) in children of all ages.

for pediatricians : clinical tips
for pediatricians
06/08/2003
There is nothing called an emergency intubation?: TIP:not resistance but lack of some precaution on your part.; YES!! Just be confident in AMBU BMV, infact you should never hurry for intubation, unless you achieve a good chest rise and good color/spo2 on AMBU. BMV is the standard safest and most effective mode of mechanical ventilation. If you hurry for intubation, I am sure you will land up in complications. You always have enough time to plan an emergency intubation, give atropine and sedation and to chose the proper tube size.

Most of my patients with fever chills, who I send home on chloroquine; they come back within 24 hrs saying no effext! Is it chloroquine resistance?: TIP:not resistance but lack of some precaution on your part.; See it takes at least 26 hrs to get control over fever after starting chloroquine. If you had taken time to tell pt that fever may recur in 36 hrs, he wouldnt come to you at the next spike of fever. Also some other imp points which you need to tell him are: Shivering/sweating is nothing to worry (!), blankets may aggrevate temp.; Vomitting may be common following tablets. (Why dont you habituate yourself to give the first dose of chloroquine in hospital itself?. Its prefered that it should be given with food but even glucon D suffices; also countering the hypoglycemia effect)

how to inject medicines to babies?
<3 yrs: I recommend child in mothers arm, immobilised... while one injects in thigh or butts.
3yr and above : no amount of counselling helps. Just inform that he may be given an injection which may not pain if he cooperates. Then apply restrain and finish the procedure in shortest time without the kid realising most of it.
===============================================
The maximum pain occurs when the chemical brushes with cut nerve endings.
SO:
use a separate needle to inject.
and when you withdraw needle out, let it be in shortest time span ( preferably with a jerk... rather than slow removal that pains alot).
injecting medicine in... slow or fast usually doesnt much affect duration or intensity of pain...( u r in painless intermuscular or fascial plain)
avoiding bony sites and periosteal injury will be preferable. ( so prefer bulk of muscle... dont hurry to inject)

oral/RT rehydration is almost as efficacious as parenteral, provided the feeding is supervised despit vomitting and sepsis is ruled out.

hi all
I have a case to share, and would be glad to have expert opinion.8 month baby presented on 26 feb with history of measles 10 days prior, and respiratory distress since then, xray after admission showed bilateral parahilar opacities closely resembling bronchopneumonia, counts were near normal, child was given supportive care, was discharged on oral amox-clav as a so called prophylaxis for preventing secondary bacterial infection ( I disagree). Complete XRC resolution was documented within 3 days of admission, child was discahrged on oral antibiotics. There was no fever documented since admission.After 3-4 days, child had fever again.. she couldnt come to hospital over weekend, when she followed up on 6 th March with fever of almost 3 days high grade; there was no refusal to feeds, she refused admission for some reasons, she was sent home after changing antibiotics to oral cefixime as monitoring wasnt possible.There was no relief with same medicines, she was readmitted on around feb 10, on admission... the same patch on Xrchest was obvious, child was having significant distress and there were bilateral crepts, with high fever, again responded to conservative therapy, fever responded to cefotaxim IV after 3 days of therapy, distress settled.
The interesting thing in this course was that... the countson admission 26 feb TC 12000 poly 62 Lympho33
on readmission on 10 march TC 55000 P73 L 25, rest atypical L cytes
after 8 days of antibiotic therapy.. TC 99000 P 60 L 37, rest attypical L cytes.Can we discuss what exactly we were dealing with?
