What is a normal intraocular pressure?
8–22 mm Hg
Common Peroneal Neuropathy
foot drop, numbness in web space between 1st -2nd toes
Most commonly caused by proximal fibula injury
Treatment is an ankle splint
Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Treatment is
- BiPAP: ↑ oxygenation, ↓ work of breathing, ↓ preload/afterload
- Nitroglycerin: ↓ preload/afterload
- Furosemide: diuresis
– Severe hypotension w/ s/o shock: norepinephrine (↑ systemic vascular resistance, ↑ HR, ↑ BP, ↑ myocardial O2 demand)
Normal intraocular pressure
Normal intraocular pressure: 10–21 mm Hg
What disease is associated with urinary incontinence, ataxia, and dementia?
Normal pressure hydrocephalus
