1st years stuffs Flashcards
acute sinus bradycardia
atropine
if haemodynamically compromised - pace
acute SVT
vagal manœuvres, carotid massage, IV adenosine (small half life), IV verapamil
Which is the worst ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation
fibrillation
treatment for HF
ACEI and BB (alaprenolol)
thiazide diuretic if mild
chronic HF - loop diuretic
Chronic HF in africans
isosorbide mononitrate/hydralazine
when should digoxin be given in HF
still symptomatic despite optimal treatment with diuretics
Fever, pleurisy, herpes, lobar consolidation, rusty sputum
pneumococcal pneumonia
amox (doxyc)
IVDU, bilateral cavitating bronchopneumonia
staphylococcus
fluc (MRSA - vanc)
elderly/DM/alcoholic
aspiration pneumonia
cavitating in upper lobes
red jelly sputum
klebsiella
cefotaxime
common pathogen in bronchiectasis, CF
pseudomonas
ceftrizidime/ciprofloxacin and aminoglycide
pharyngitis, hoarseness, otitis
chlamydia pneumonia
doxy/clarithro/tetra
birds
mucous sputum
patch consolidation
chlamydia pistacchi
doxy/clarithro/tetra
epidemics
dry cough
mycoplasma
clarithro/tetra/cipro
treatment for legionella
clarithro/leflo/cipro 2-3 weeks
rifampicin PO
how to dx and rx viral pneumonia
viral culture and PCR
cipro and co amoxiclav
HIV, immunosuppressed, bilateral peripheral interstitial shadowing
PCP - pneumocytic
co-tramoxazole
the difference between LFTs - AST, ALP, ALT, GGT
and tru liver function tests - prothrombin, bilirubin, albumin
high damage to the liver
liver function
AST
ALT
ALP
AST found in muscles as well as liver
ALT found only in liver
ALP slight raise normal in children, pregnancy, bone pathologies
lone rise in GGT is what
alcohol abuse
AST + ALT > ALP + GGT
ALP + GGT > AST + ALT
AST:ALT
acute alcohol hep, cirrhosis
PBC, gallstones
NAFLD
increased conjugated bilirubin means what
liver its doing its job but too much - obstruction?
increased unconjugated bilirubin means what
too much conjugate being produced
liver cannot conjugate due to damage
gilberts
draw out ECG what is P how long does it last what is PR how long does it last what is QRS how long does it last ST T TP
draw
atrial depolarisation 0.08-0.1s
AV nodal delay 0.12-0.2s
ventricular depolarisation less than 0.1s
ST maintains ventricular depolariation systole (contract)
T ventricular repolarisation
TP diastole (relax)
calibration of ECG
How to work out the HR
25mm/sec
300/number of large squares between R-R
number of QRS complexes in 30 x10
what is the normal axis of an ECG
-30 +90
what are the stages of hypertension
1- 140/90 monitor 130/80
2 - 160/100 monitor 150/95
3 - 180/100
malignant is DBP >130
in stage 1 why would drugs be started
if target end organ damage present of 10 year risk of CVD disease over 20%
treatment for hypertension
55/black - CCB/thiazide diuretic
A+C/A+D
A+C+D
BB or AB
target for hypertension
under 80 140/90 over 80 150/90
DM/renal/CV - 130/85
angina treatment
GTN + aspirin/ACEi/statin
bisoprolol or verapamil
unstable angina and NSTEMI treatment for low risk and high risk
low risk - aspiring, clopidegrol, nitrates
high risk - PCI, thrombolysis, CABG
treatment for a STEMI
MONAC - sublingual nitrate
PCI within 90 minutes
thrombolyse if PCI unavailable - streptokinase and aspirin
1st degree HB
2nd degree HB
3rd degree HB
prolongation of PR interval >0.22s
mobitz 1 prolongation of PR then dropped QRS
mobitz 2 dropped QRS
no correlation between the two
BBB
treatment
WiLLiam
MaRRow
IV atropine, pacing
pan systolic to axilla
displaced apex
MR
mid diastolic rumble
tapping apex malar rash
MS
ejection systolic -> carotids
slow rising pulse
heaving apex
AS
early diastolic
displaced apex
AR
CURB65
confusion
urea >19
RR>30
