Q

Different fluid distention mediums for hysteroscopy, their differences, and allowable fluid deficit [healthy/unhealthy]

A
  • Normal Saline = isotonic, electrolytes present, low viscosity [2.5L / 750mL] - use with bipolar electrocautery; risk of fluid overload
  • Hypotonic agents:
    • 1.5 Glycine / 3% Sorbitol = viscous, hypotonic, no electrolytes [1L/750mL] good for monipolar; increased risk of hypo-osmolar and hyponatremia complications
    • 5% Mannitol = viscous, isotonic, no electrolytes [1L/750mL] good for monipolar; less risk of hyponatremia

Q

How does Heparin work? Lovenox?

A

Heparin binds to AT III, which prevent Factor X going to Xa…which now doesn’t allow prothrombin to become thrombin

Lovenox is a FactorXa inhibitor, doing the same which now doesn’t allow prothrombin to become thrombin

Q

Heparin and Lovenox treatment regimens for PE and DVT. Treatment timeframe? How to monitor Coumadin?

74
Q

Treatment options of hirsutism

A
  1. OCP –> increases SHB-globulin which binds androgens
  2. Cosmetic Laser therapy - (dark hair light skin = best candidates) the melanin absorbs the laser wavelength of light which selectively damages the follicle without harming surrounding tissue
  3. Antiandrogen Therapy: (need contraception with antiandrogens)
    •Eflornithine - blocks ornithine decarboxylase
    -SE: stinging burning at site of application
    •Finasteride - 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (blocks testosterone –> DHT)
    -1mg QD
    •Flutamide - androgen receptor blocker
    -125mg QD
    •Spironolactone: diuretic, aldosterone antagonist, binds androgen receptor, slight effect on 5-alpha reductase too (cautious to use in those with renal problems because can exacerbate hyperkalemia)
    -25-100mg BID
    -SE: orthostatic hypotension
75
Q

Medications for acute bleeding

A
  • IV conjugated estrogen 25mg every 6hrs for 24hrs

76
Q

Q

When to treat hyperlipidemia?

A
  • LDL > 190
  • Present CVD
  • All Diabetics 45-75yo
    • If 10-yr CVD risk score > 7.5% = high-intensity, < 7.5% = moderate intensity statins
    o High-intensity statin = goal reduction of > 50% LDL decrease
    o Moderate-intensity statin = goal reduction of 30-50% LDL decrease
    o Atorvastatin start 40mg for mod-high intensity, otherwise 20mg PO
     SE’s: myalgia, temporary increase in LFT’s
     10-yr CVD risk > 7.5%
     Pooled Cohort Equation from the ACC – looks at age, race, gender, age, lipid levels, BP, and medical history to assess 10-yr risk for CVD
