Book1 Flashcards
Time to SAH surgery
48h
Immediate treatment for undescended testicle
Chorionic gonadotropin for one month
Kidney stone tx
5mm - shock. >2cm - surgery
Pattern of electrolytes in kidney failure
Ca up, LFTs up, RBC up
Renal carcinoma tx
If look like heterogenic solid and enhancing on CT - 4cm - radical nephrectomy
Bladder cancer tx
Intravesical BCG + intravesicular chemo
Testicular cancer tx
NO BX - Take b-HCG + alpha-fetoprotein - then radical orchiectomy unless seminoma (radiosensitive), monitor recurrence with BHCG + AFP + LDH. LN resection only if teratoma that hasn?t spread above diaphragm or embryonal
Surgery for testicular torsion if
<6h
Prosthetic joint infection likely organism
3mo S epidermidis
Ideal body weight calculation
Women: 100 + 5x inch over 5’. Men: 106 + 6x inch over 5’
Calorie requirement calculation
25 x kg every day, multipy by 1.2 for nonstressed hospitalized, 1.5 postsurg, 1.8 for trauma/burns
RQ equation and use
CO2 produced / O2 consumed; >1 - too much, <0.82 - increase calories
Refeeding syndrome electrolytes
Low PO4, low Mg, low K –> high Glu, high Cl, acidosis, vol overload –> CHF
Protein requirements calculation
0.8 x kg every day, up to 2.5 if burns
When to close a dirty wound
If <6h old
Burn fluids
To maintance fluids, add LR: 4 mL x kg x BSA affected – 1/2 over 8, 1/2 over 16
Silver nitrate complication
Hyponatremia
Silver sulfadiazine complication
Neutropenia
Mafenide acetate complication
Metabolic acidosis
Brown recluse antidote
Dabsone
Cleft lip palate tx
Lip - 3mo, Palate - 1-1.5y
Intraop abx #1 choice
Cefazolin
Acute angle closure glaucoma, can’t do surgery right now, tx
Pilocarbine, diamox, mannitol
RTA 1
Can’t excrete H+, can’t make ammonia. Autoimmune disorders.
RTA 2
Can’t reabsorb HCO3. Multiple myeloma or drugs.
RTA 4
Hyperkalemia. Aldosterone deficiency (diabetic nephropathy).
FeNa calculation
Urine Na x Serum Cr / Urine Cr x Serum Na
Post-op urinary retention drugs
Prazosin, phenoxybenzamine
MUDPILES
Methanol, Uremia, DKA, Paraldehyde, Isoniazid, Lactic acidosis, Ethanol, Salicylites
HARD UP
Normal gap: HyperPTH, Adrenal insufficiency, RTA, Diarrhea, Ureteroenteric fistula, pancreatic fistula
3 causes of metabolic acidosis
Increased acid, Decreased bicarb, Renal failure
Osmolar gap calculate
Observed Osm - [2Na + Glu/18 + BUN/2.8], should be <10
2 causes of metabolic alkalosis:
Lose H+ (GI, increased aldo, diuretics, RTA) ; 2) gain HCO3
MIS[HAP]3S
Respiratory alkalosis: Mechanical overventilation, ICP, sepsis, hypoxemia/hyperpyrexia/HF, Anxiety/asthma/ascites, Pregnancy/pain/PNA, salicylates
Normal PCO2
35-45
Normal HCO3
24-30
Respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis formula
1.5 x HCO3 + 8 +- 2 and if not compensating, respiratory acidosis also.
How to tell acute respiratory acidosis vs. chronic
Change in pH / Change in pCO2 –> if < 0.3, chronic. If < 0.8, acute
Normal serum Osm
~290
Follicular cancer tx
4cm - total thyroidectomy, no LN
Similarities between adrenal insufficiency and sepsis
Hypotension, fever, AMS
Differences between adrenal insufficiency and sepsis
Adrenal: high K, sepsis no change K, adrenal hypoglycemic, sepsis hyperglycemic.
Screen for medullary thyroid cancer
Calcitonin, pentagastrin, provocative ca. infusion
Sarcoma likely if
> 5cm, surgery only
How to mediate XRT damage
Sulfhydryl - free radical scavenger
If give methotrexate
Also give folinic acid
Give IL-2 for
Renal cancer and melanoma
Floxuridine side effect
Bile duct inflammation
L-asparaginase side effect
pancreatitis
Normal SVR
800-1200
Normal PCWP
12
Normal CO
5
Normal CI
2.6 - 4.2
EKG stress test positive if
STD > 0.2
Liver failure ammonia
> 150
Poor nutrition indicators - 4
> 20% body weight over months, albumin < 3, transferrin <200, anergy to skin-test antigens

Pleural effusion tx
If >1cm on XR, thoracentesis
Light’s criteria are for:
Pleural effusion is a transudate if: LDH effusion / serum = 0.6; or protein effusion / serum = 0.5
