Q

Why does a pt need a tetanus jag if exposed to dirty/punctuating wound?

A

full course = 5 vaccines

full course w/ last dose <10yrs ago = no vaccine or tetanus Ig

full course w/ last dose >10yrs ago = booster (if high risk e.g. heavy contamination, extensive deviatlised tissue, surgical intervention) = booster + Ig

vaccine hx unknown/incomplete = booster regardless of severity
if prone/high risk = booster + Ig

Q

What are the different ways you will bring a patients glucose levels back up with a hypo

A

Concious with swallow = 15-30grams of short-acting glucose e.g. 150ml of OJ followed by long acting e.g. toast or biscuit

Concious with no swallow = 1.5-2 tubes of glucose gel

Unconcious = IV 200ml of 10% glucose OR 1mg/kg glucagon IM

16
Q

4Hs and 4Ts of MI

Treatment of ACS

How does this differ for STEMI vs NSTEMI?

A

Hs
- Hypothermia
- Hypo/hyper electrolytes
- Hypovolemia
- Hypoxia

Ts
- tension pneumothorax
- tamponade
- toxins
- thrombus

MMONA+T

Morphine (if in extreme pain)
Metroclopramide
Oxygen (sats <94%)
Nitrates (GTN spray unless hypotensive)
Aspirin 300mg
Ticagrelor

STEMI
<2hrs to PCI
- no a/c previous - aspirin + prasgurel
- a/c previous - aspirin + clopidogrel
>2hrs - fibrinolysis

NSTEMI
- fondapurinaux if no signifcant bleeding risk
- if immediate angioplasty to take place LWMH

16
Q

What bug causing pneumonia is associated with erythema multiforme?

A

Mycoplasma

16
Q

OSHITMAN is same for acute flare of COPD.
What is different in terms of ventilation and O2 delivery?

A

CPAP - if type 1
BiPAP - if type 2

24% O2 (BLUE) venturi mask 88-92%

16
Q

How can you tell if pt has had a true episode of anaphlyaxis?

A

Tryptase levels

16
Q

Pneumonia with lymphopenia, hyponatraemia & deranged LFTs?

A

Legionella

16
Q

Describe the differences in lithium tremors

A

Fine tremor with chronic use
Coarse tremor in acute toxicity

17
Q

What are the contraindications to the following airways
- oropharygeal
- nasopharnygeal

What airway support should be used if significant trauma has happened affecting potentially spine?

A

Oropharngeal = concious - can cause gagging and aspiration in semi-concious pts

Nasopharngeal = potential base of skull factures as small but v dangerous risk of perforation

Jaw thrusts

17
Q

What should be done in addition to OSHITMAN for acute asthma?
How is response monitored?

A

SIT UP

Multiple peak flow measurement

18
Q

What should you do if pt not responsive to first dose of adrenaline?
How much and what dose again?

A

0.5mg of 1:1000 IM in anterolateral aspect of middle thigh
6-12 years old = 0.3mg
<6years old = 0.15mg

Repeat after 5 minutes -> still no response -> HELP -> IV adrenaline from consultant

19
Q

How would you manage each of the following electrolyte imbalances:
- Hyperkalaemia
- Hypokalaemia
- Hypercalcemia
- Hyponatremia

A
  1. IV insulin and dextrose
    Calcium gluconate to protect the heart
    Calcium resonium (to prevent reabsorption - move long term)
  2. IV K+
    Check Mg+ - K+ cannot rise without it and telemtery
  3. IV FLUIDS
    Biphosphates too
  4. 1.8% saline but be careful - low to high - pons might die (central pontine demylineation)
20
Q

What ECG finding can be seen in HYPERcaleamia?

A

Short QT interval

21
Q

How would you describe asthma to a pt?

A

Chronic inflammatory response of the windpipe

Stays tightened and can struggle to get air in

Blue inhaler helps to open up the airways in the short term

Steroid inhaler helps to reduce the inflammation overall

We call it a reversible obstructive inflammation
