What can cause appendicitis in children? - ANSWER: Obstruction of the lumen of the appendix by
hardened fecal material (fecalith) or swollen lymph tissue following a viral infection.
How does obstruction of the lumen of the appendix lead to infection? - ANSWER: It causes a blockage
of the outflow of mucus, builds pressure in the lumen, compresses blood vessels. This results in
bacterial invasion, ischemia, and ulceration.
What are signs and symptoms of peritonitis in a patient with appendicitis? - ANSWER: Sudden relief
from pain after perforation, followed by a subsequent increase in pain. Abdominal guarding,
distension, tachycardia, rapid shallow breathing, pallor, chills and irritability.
Before perforation occurs, how can appendicitis be treated? - ANSWER: Rehydration, antibiotics
and/or appendectomy.
After perforation occurs, how can appendicitis be treated? - ANSWER: IV antibiotics, IV fluids and
electrolytes, NG compression prior to surgery, NG decompression post operatively until bowel activity
returns, and drainage of abdominal abcesses.
What are some manifestations of pain in children with appendicitis? - ANSWER: Rigid, motionless,
side lying position with knees flexed on abdomen. Decreased ROM of right hip.
