Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Nature and Nurture

Nature and Nurture

Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) evaluate and treat pediatric dysphagia, a swallowing disorder impacting oral feeding. They use clinical and instrumental methods like VFSS and FEES to diagnose and create safe feeding plans, reducing aspiration risk.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Medicine
Speech-Language Pathology
Gastroenterology

Background:

Pediatric dysphagia, often linked to aerodigestive disorders, presents numerous challenges to successful oral feeding.
Factors like anatomy, medical status, neurological function, and developmental abilities can impede swallowing.
Swallowing is a complex process with four phases, and dysphagia can affect any or multiple phases.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the critical role of Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in managing pediatric dysphagia.
To outline the diagnostic approaches for swallowing disorders in children.
To emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of creating effective feeding plans.

Main Methods:

Clinical swallowing evaluations.
Instrumental assessments including Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES).
Analysis of patient factors affecting oral feeding, such as anatomy, medical condition, and developmental status.

Main Results:

Dysphagia diagnosis is achieved through comprehensive clinical and instrumental evaluations.
VFSS provides radiographic assessment of oropharyngeal swallow function.
FEES offers a "bird's eye view" of laryngeal anatomy and swallow function via nasal endoscopy.

Conclusions:

SLPs are essential in diagnosing and treating pediatric dysphagia.
Interventions include diet modification, compensatory strategies, and specialized equipment.
Multidisciplinary collaboration is key to developing safe and effective oral feeding plans for children with dysphagia.
