Today's video is about Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (HPS). Learn more. Before talking about HPS, it's important to talk a little about regurgitation and vomiting. 00:00 - Introduction 01:33 - Physiological Reflux 02:59 - Pathological Reflux 04:27 - Projectile Vomiting 05:27 - What is HPS? 06:30 - When does it usually occur? 07:11 - How is it diagnosed? 07:26 - What is the treatment? 1. Physiological (Normal) Reflux Every baby can experience episodes of regurgitation, especially in the first few months of life. This is mainly due to muscle hypotonia in the "containment ring" that connects the stomach to the esophagus. In other words, the liquid goes in, but since it isn't held there, it comes back out. This type of situation, known as physiological reflux, is common and does not cause discomfort to the baby or interfere with weight gain (we know these babies as happy regurgitators). Treatment is simply with anti-regurgitation postural measures. 2. Pathological Reflux Reflux is considered pathological, meaning a problem, when it causes pain, discomfort, irritability, difficulty breastfeeding, and the baby "fighting" the breast, which can lead to decreased weight gain. This is a situation with warning signs. It requires evaluation by a pediatrician as soon as possible, and treatment should be targeted according to the cause. 3. Projectile Vomiting There is a condition characterized by recurrent, progressively worsening "projectile" vomiting that can lead to dehydration. This condition is very serious and requires immediate medical evaluation. This problem is known as Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (HPS). 4. What is Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis? (EHP). EHP is the near-complete obstruction of the pyloric canal (the connection between the stomach and the intestine) due to hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle layer. 5. When does it usually occur? It is a common diagnosis among babies under three months of age, most commonly between the third and fourth weeks of life. Rarely, symptoms appear at birth or after five months of age. 6. How is the diagnosis made? The pediatrician will perform a detailed physical examination and may request an abdominal ultrasound. 7. Treatment If the diagnosis is confirmed, a pediatric surgeon should be contacted as this is a surgical case. 🛍 Visit the MdM store on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com.br/macetesdemae 📖 Discover my book: "Pregnant and Practical - A straightforward guide for first-time mothers"!
