▪ viral - supportive care
▪ bacterial - antibiotics and supportive care - ANS S/S: *Pneumonia*
upright - ANS Epiglottitis position
echocardiogram - ANS Noninvasive diagnostic testing for the heart to see its structure and
function. Should be ordered first to evaluate a murmur.
• Non-weight bearing
• Activity limitations
• Cast education - ANS Patient Education: Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease - ANS • This is an avascular necrosis (lack of blood resulting in
destruction) of the proximal femoral epiphysis
• Child normally look well but may have a limp, guarding of hip while moving it
• Less than 6 - NSAIDs and containment device to keep head of femur in place
• Older than 6 - reconstructive surgery followed by cast application - ANS Treatment: *Legg-
Calve-Perthes Disease*

Ductus Arteriosus*

Ductus Arteriosus*
patent ductus arteriosus - ANS a failure of the fetal ductus arteriosus to close within the first
weeks of life
▪ BP higher in the upper extremities than in the lower extremities
▪ Signs of HF may occur in infants
▪ Bounding pulses in the arms and weak or absent femoral pulses and cool extremities may be
present
**be sure to assess the femoral and radial pulses simultaneously** - ANS S/S: *Coarctation
of the Aorta*
▪ balloon angioplasty
▪ surgical repair - ANS Treatment: *Coarctation of the Aorta*
coarctation of the aorta - ANS a localized narrowing near the insertion of the ductus
arteriosus
