HyperK widens QRS
HypoK prolongs QT (flattens T/ Biphasic T or U)
Give mag with it, give more than you think (100 for .3)
DC patient if QT is under 500, K 3.0 or higher, and not N/v (fix underlying) so they can swallow K replacement

Q

Complete white out of 1 lung DDX and approach

A
  1. Trachea pulled toward white lung

    - L/R main stem
    - Pnuemonectomy
  2. Teachea away
    - HTX
    - PLeural effusion
    - Diaphram injury
  3. Trachea midline
    - Aspiration
    - COnsilidation
    - Pulem edema, ARDS, TRALI

put the good lung down with gravity UNLESS! lots of pus and blood then good lung up so no blood or pus cna drain into good lung

infection
PE
recent thoracentesis
ARDS
inhalation injury
aspiration
25
Q

Thrombytics dosing

Reperfusion stuff

A

15 mg over 2 min tpa
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm after tpa - kind of looks like v tach but negative deflecthon axis in 1/F - self resolving and normal
If inferior- get ready to pace

26
Q

5 steps to VT or SV abberancy- stable

A
modified valsalva
12 mg Adenosine
Lidoncaine 1.5 mg/kg over 15 seconds 
procainamide up to 500 mgs
DC cardioversion 

lido and procaine can go to gotehr - don’t mix with amio

27
Q

5 causes agitation in trauma patients

A
Hypoxia 
HupoG
Blood in head 
Hem shock 
Hyper sympathetic alike coke
28
Q

Tca OD

A

Push 1 amp bicarb and then do a drip Shoot for 7.5-7.55 no higher you can do harm with protein binding etc!bdont pish a lot do
Blind bicarb

1 amp is 0.1 increase and 1 meq/kg get you 0.1-0.15

Qrs is marker of disease>100 is bad news

29
Q

Wood FB dispo

A

Admit - very dirty and infected

30
Q

What kills with adenosine

A

Dehydrated old sinus tach

Wide irregular and now uses bypass tract

31
Q

Adenosine vs silt in svt

A

Adenosine 12 in young and need quick

Silt 2.5 mg/min for old and a littler longer takes 10-15 min. Max at about 25 min. Pee treat with 3 cc calcium glauconate(doesn’t block chronograpy and helps with negativeniontorope effect to help with hypotension.) and has 98% conversion rate vs 86% adenosine 12mg

32
Q

Epi drip anaphylaxis

A

2mcg min
Im Epi is .3 or 300 mcg
Be careful of what you give IV - not 1 mg Epi IV!

33
Q

Sine wave

A
Hyper K
Acidosis 
Bb 
Ccb 
Tca 

Give bicarb!

34
Q

When to terminate arrests

A

No ROSC
unwitnessed
non shcokable rhythm
EPi and no return of pulse

no IV and asytole =dead, n ouse of ETT epi
reversible in the field- decomrpess, oxygenate and ventilate (HR <40 after epi magic number to stop)

35
Q

If you bolus Esmolol after mult shocks for v fib- start smolol and wait at least 5-7 minutes

A

that is all

36
Q

5 tx for non pregnan VB

A

blood
sto pcoagulaopathy (vwf?)
IV estrogen 25 mg q6 (dont do it is combined ocps) will stop in 6 hours
TXA 1 g (good data post partum bu tno downside to this)
Surgical or reboa

37
Q

Wide complex tachycardia

A

always think about:

  1. HyperK
  2. Sodium channel blockade OD
  3. Dig toxicity
    - and always give clacium and bicarb when thinking about this. Never give Amio/procain to this (lido is more shrot and safe)

Adensonise if you really can rule out VT. Never give in old people, irregular ryghtms but wide is controverisal in giving adenosine.

Lidocaine 1-1.5 mg/kg is the preferred drug in wide compelx tachyarrythmia (short on and off). Procaine 17 mg/kg or amio is your other choices but has side effects

if polymorphic VT: add magnesium. Overdrive pacing is what you do too (add 30 bpm over theri HR to narrow the complex)

38
Q

5 things to look if VT?

A
Irregular then your done
P waves before qrs= done
Fusion 
Capture
Concordance v1-v6 and Axis (if neg, neg then VR
39
Q

Treating stable wide complex tacky

A

Modified valsalva
Adenosine (only if regular, kills if irregular)
Lidocaine is 20% of time
Procaine should work after 5 min- 100 mg/min 2 min, 50 3 min, then 35 for 4 min

40

47
Q

Anaphylaxis updated lit pearls

A

5 min before a re dose epi
25 benadryl is best first line dose- but no real acute effects and MAY delay epi usage
If you need second dose of epi then start fluids, nto needed up frnt
Major change!: 3rd line is steroids and recoemmend against it bc it has no literature (cory is still giving, especially if severe anaphylaxis)
Still use 0.3 cc 1 min in 1cc IM epi
5% biphasic reactions-
if severe anaphylaxis or 2 doses at least 6 hours obs
