|
Definition
| maternal antibodies coming from breast milk |
|
|
Term
| what happens between the age of 3 month and 5 years with respiratory infections? |
|
Definition
3-6 months infection rate increases when child stopps breast feeding.
at toddler and preschool ages high rate of viral infections children older than 5 years there is a decrease in viral infections and an increase in bacterial. Increased immunity with age. |

|
Term
| Differences between respiratory track in children from adults |
|
Definition
| diameter of airways is smaller because of less alveoli, distance between structures is shorter allowing organisms to rapidly move down, shorter wider eustachian tubes used in children. |
|
|
Term
| Rib expansion in children. |
|
Definition
| children have more cartilage in chest wall and it is more ridged they can expand horizontally instead of up this causes them to be more likely to have retractions (using accesssory muscles to help them breath) The younger the patient, the more you see retractions. |
