Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Examination || CNS Examination || Pediatrics — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00hello everyone today i am going to cover
- 0:03the last part of the cns examination
- 0:06autonomic nervous system and the skull
- 0:08spine
- 0:09so autonomic nervous system
- 0:12is divided into central and the
- 0:13peripheral anus in central ions
- 0:17structures which are included are the
- 0:19amygdala mainly hypothalamus and also
- 0:23role of basal forbane age in midbrain
- 0:26and spinal cord
- 0:29division of peripheral anus is
- 0:31sympathetic parasympathetic and the
- 0:33entry part
- 0:36main function of the anus it controls
- 0:38the known striated muscle of the
- 0:40visceras and also glendular function
- 0:43also it regulates the circulation
- 0:45respiration digestion metabolism and the
- 0:48temperature
- 0:49so autonomic nervous system is mainly
- 0:51for the maintenance of the vital
- 0:53function
- 0:55so to examine the autonomic nervous
- 0:57system first we should take the proper
- 0:59history then we should measure the all
- 1:01the vitals in
- 1:03supine and standing position so we will
- 1:06measure the blood pressure heart rate
- 1:09then record the temperature and there
- 1:12are various other cutaneous signs can be
- 1:14there because of the
- 1:16this autoregulation
- 1:18respiratory abnormalities can be there
- 1:20eye sign and
- 1:23abnormal body weight and appetite can be
- 1:25there because of involvement of the
- 1:26hypothalamus
- 1:28may be having bulimia or behavior
- 1:30changes
- 1:32sleep disturbance because of central
- 1:34anus or hypothalamus involvement
- 1:38so for detailed history to rule out the
- 1:42autonomic
- 1:43nervous system this regulation
- 1:46in this first we have to ask the sign
- 1:48symptoms due to the dysfunction of git
- 1:52and got example child may be having the
- 1:54constipation dysphasia
- 1:56night diarrhea weight loss
- 1:58or sometimes urinary retention urgency
- 2:01recurrent uti can be there fecal or
- 2:03urinary incontinence can be there
- 2:05because of the
- 2:07gut dysfunction
- 2:09then we have to ask the sign symptoms of
- 2:12the orthostatic hypotension child may be
- 2:14having the dizziness lightheadedness
- 2:18history of syncope palpitation weakness
- 2:21confusion slurred speed
- 2:25all these symptoms will be worst when
- 2:27child is
- 2:28doing the exercise or after long
- 2:31standing
- 2:32taking the whole bath or after meal also
- 2:36we have to ask the history of
- 2:39related to the sweating abnormalities
- 2:41example
- 2:43dryness of skin leak of normal moisture
- 2:46in socks it is characteristic
- 2:49and
- 2:50after taking the detailed history we
- 2:53have to rule out sign symptoms of anus
- 2:55disorder
- 2:58then we have to measure the blood
- 2:59pressure and the heart rate
- 3:02orthostatic change in the heart rate in
- 3:04bp occur in anes disorders
- 3:07so we have to
- 3:09calculate the heart rate in supine and
- 3:11then in standing position
- 3:13then we have to
- 3:15measure the blood pressure in supine and
- 3:17at one three five minutes after standing
- 3:21so normally systolic bp on a standing
- 3:24should not decrease more than 20 mmg and
- 3:26diastolic vp more than 10 mmg
- 3:29and in heart rate
- 3:31normally it should not increase more
- 3:33than 30 beats per minute above the
- 3:35baseline on standing or in adolescent
- 3:38age group
- 3:39should not be more than 120
- 3:44also we can perform the tilt table
- 3:46testing in this we have to tilt the
- 3:48table up to the 60 to 80 degree angle
- 3:51and after five minutes we have to take
- 3:54the heart rate and the blood pressure
- 3:57so similar finding
- 3:58will be there if the child is having ans
- 4:01disorder
- 4:02then we have to measure the temperature
- 4:04and we have to observe for various
- 4:06cutaneous signs
- 4:08so
- 4:09patient will have the abnormal sweating
- 4:11or dryness and it will also alter the
- 4:14temperature change in skin color or
- 4:16temperature
- 4:18can lead to the paler acrocyanosis
- 4:20erythema
- 4:22sometime mottling hypertrichosis nail
- 4:24thickening all can be the feature of
- 4:27various cuteness science
- 4:30respiratory abnormalities in the form of
- 4:32hyper apnea apnea
- 4:34or various character of the breathing
- 4:36biots or
- 4:38chinese stroke building can be
- 4:40there in eyes we have to assess the
- 4:43lacrimation by sheamus test we have to
- 4:46keep the strip of paper in lower eyelid
- 4:49and after five minutes we have to
- 4:51measure the weightness in sheamus test
- 4:55and
- 4:55[Music]
- 4:57we have to also ask about the excessive
- 4:59dryness of the eye the redness of the
- 5:01eye should be
- 5:02examine for the dryness and redness
- 5:07if the child is having central autonomic
- 5:10nervous system involvement hypothalamus
- 5:12involvement
- 5:14then the abnormality of the body weight
- 5:16appetite can occur child may be having
- 5:18the bulimia behavior changes child is
- 5:21having irritability or
- 5:23various behavior disorders
- 5:27sleep disturbance can be there in the
- 5:29form of
- 5:30hypersomnolence or insomnia
- 5:33so all these are the characteristic
- 5:37testings and the symptoms of the
- 5:40autonomic nervous system
- 5:43now the last part is skull spine in this
- 5:46we have to
- 5:48inspect and also palpate the skull for
- 5:51the size shave frontal bossing
- 5:54prominence we should pulp it for the
- 5:56fontanelles and scalp swelling already i
- 5:59have explained the details in the
- 6:01general physical examination
- 6:03so in this picture you can see the child
- 6:04is having hydrocephalus
- 6:07and similarly for the spine we have to
- 6:09inspect for any spinal deformity in the
- 6:11form of scoliosis kyphosis
- 6:14or lordosis look for any swelling if it
- 6:17is present either spina bifida or having
- 6:20the
- 6:21some other deformity
- 6:23then we have to palpate further any
- 6:25tenderness or
- 6:27all the characteristic of the mass
- 6:31so this is all about the
- 6:34autonomic nervous system examination and
- 6:36the skull spine
- 6:38thank you so much
