Pediatrics and Child Health Nursing | AIIMS NORCET 10 | Aarogyam Infinity MCQ Series | Part 4 BY Aarti Ma'am Welcome to Part 4 of the Aarogyam Infinity MCQ Series for Pediatrics and Child Health Nursing! 🩺 In this session, we focus on high-yield topics related to the Respiratory System and Congenital Heart Defects in children, essential for AIIMS NORCET 10 and other nursing competitive exams. This lecture covers critical concepts such as Pneumonia in Infants, Croup vs. Epiglottitis, Transient Tachypnea of Newborn (TTN), Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), and Cyanotic Heart Defects. We discuss the pathophysiology, clinical features, X-ray findings, and nursing management for these conditions, ensuring you are well-prepared for any related questions. 🔍 Key Topics Covered in this Session: Pneumonia: Most common cause in infants (Viruses - RSV), bacterial causes (Streptococcus pneumoniae), and age-wise etiology. Croup (Laryngotracheobronchitis): Barking cough, Steeple sign on X-ray, and viral etiology (Parainfluenza). Epiglottitis: 4 Ds (Dysphagia, Dysphonia, Drooling, Distress), Thumb sign on X-ray, and causative organism (H. Influenzae type b). Respiratory Distress in Newborns: Differentiating TTN (Sunburst/Air Bronchogram), RDS (Reticulogranular pattern), and Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (Patchy infiltrates). Asthma Management: Acute severe asthma treatment (Nebulized Beta-2 agonists) vs. long-term control (Corticosteroids). Congenital Heart Defects: Recognizing PDA (Bounding pulse, Wide pulse pressure) and understanding Eisenmenger Syndrome (Differential Cyanosis). Neonatal Asphyxia: Earliest biochemical marker (Elevated Lactate) and the Diving Reflex protecting vital organs. Clubbing: Pathophysiology (Shamroth Sign, Lovibond angle) and causes in children (Cystic Fibrosis, Cyanotic Heart Disease). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📢 PDF Notes Available! 📄 Access on PW App under Aarogyam Reloaded (Free Batch) ✨ Get expert guidance for all Nursing Exams - https://shorturl.at/HbvgR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⭐ Nursing Pro 1.0 (2026) for All Nursing Exams https://physicswallah.onelink.me/ZAZB... ⭐ Nightingale Regular for AIIMS NORCET 10 https://physicswallah.onelink.me/ZAZB... ⭐ Nightingale Regular 2.0 for AIIMS NORCET 10 https://physicswallah.onelink.me/ZAZB... ⭐ Nightingale Fastrack for AIIMS NORCET 10 https://physicswallah.onelink.me/ZAZB... ⭐ Nursing Express 2.0 for RRB Staff Nurse https://physicswallah.onelink.me/ZAZB... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📌 RECOMMENDED CHANNELS FOR YOU - 🌐 Physics Wallah - Alakh Pandey: / @physicswallah 🌐 Competition Wallah: / @pw-neetwallah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📌 PHYSICS WALLAH SOCIAL MEDIA - 🌐 Nursing Wallah Telegram Channel: https://t.me/pwnursing 🌐 Telegram: https://t.me/Physics_Wallah_Official_... 🌐 Instagram: / physicswallah 🌐 Facebook: / physicswallah 🌐 Twitter: / physics__wallah 🌐 LinkedIn: / physicswallah 🌐 Quora: https://pwofficial.quora.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to Respiratory System Topics 01:25 - MCQ: Most Common Cause of Pneumonia in Infants (RSV) 06:33 - Age-wise Causes of Pneumonia 14:09 - MCQ: Diagnosis for Barking Cough & Stridor (Croup) 16:16 - MCQ: Clinical Features of Epiglottitis (Drooling, Muffled Voice) 18:42 - Epiglottitis Management: Do's and Don'ts (Avoid throat exam) 21:38 - MCQ: Wheezing Not Responding to Bronchodilators (Foreign Body) 26:59 - MCQ: Mainstay Treatment for Acute Severe Asthma (Beta-2 Agonists) 30:26 - MCQ: Steeple Sign on X-ray (Croup) 31:39 - White Membrane on Tonsils (Diphtheria) 34:06 - MCQ: First Line Antibiotic for Community Acquired Pneumonia 37:37 - MCQ: Diagnostic Sweat Chloride Value in Cystic Fibrosis 38:15 - Earliest Sign of Cystic Fibrosis (Meconium Ileus) 40:15 - MCQ: Most Common System Involved in Cystic Fibrosis (Respiratory) 41:39 - MCQ: Condition causing Clubbing (Cystic Fibrosis) 43:32 - Clubbing Signs Explained: Shamroth Sign & Lovibond Angle 47:29 - MCQ: Most Common Cause of Pneumonia in Neonates (GBS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📌 For any Queries or Complaints visit: https://www.facebook.com/nursingwalla...
