28
Q

AR associated with acetaminophen

A

centrilobular necrosis that may progress to liver failure

29
Q

What enzyme breaks down acetaminophen?

A

CYP2E1

30
Q

Acetaminophen breakdown metabolites

A

NAPQ, combines with glutathione

31
Q

Injury produced by NAPQI

A

binding to hepatic proteins, depletion of GSH leading to increased risk of ROS damage

32
Q

AR associated with aspirin

A

acts on brain (alkalosis by stimulating medulla) leading to metabolic acidosis, nausea, coma

33
Q

Chronic aspirin toxicity

A

HA, dizziness, tinnitus, bleeding, coma, vomiting, diarrhea, gastric ulceration, analgesic nephropathy

34
Q

Side affects of cocaine

A

intense euphoria and stimulation, HTN, tachycardia, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, hyperpyrexia, fetal hypoxia and spontaneous abortion, perforated nasal septum, decreased lung capacity

35
Q

Neurotransmitters involved in cocaine usage

A

DA and NE

36
Q

AE of opiates

A

resp depression, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, pulmonary edema, endocarditis, lung abscess, foreign body granulomas, amyloidosis, glomerulosclerosis

37

Effects of opiates on CNS

A

euphoria, hallucination, somnolence, sedation

38
Q

AE of methamphetamine

A

violent behavior, confusion, psychotic sx

39
Q

AE of MDMA

A

increase in serotonin, euphoria; decreases 5HT receptors and synthesis, increase adrenergic and DA effects

40
Q

Marijuana AE

A

increased heart rate, possible change in BP causing angina in CAD pt, cognitive and psychomotor impairment, carcinogens

43
Q

What does the clinical significance of a burn injury depend on?

A

depth of burn, percent of body covered by burn, internal injuries, promptness and efficacy of treatment

44
Q

First degree burn

A

superficial, epidermis only

45
Q

second degree burn

A

partial thickness, epidermis and dermis (blistering

46
Q

third degree burn

A

full thickness, extending to subcutaneous tissue

47
Q

Pathogenesis of shock in burn victims

A

burns>20% body surface causes rapid shift of body fluids to interstitial compartment; generalized edema and pulm edema can be severe, develops a hypermetabolic state causing increased heat loss and increased need for nutritional support

48
Q

Pathogenesis of sepsis in burn victims

A

burn site ideal for microorganism so most will be colonized, most commonly with P. aeruginosa, MRSA, candida

49
Q

Pathogenesis of respiratory insufficiency in burn victims

A

within 24-48 hours, direct heat effects upper airway and noxious gas inhalation can lead to inhalation and airway obstruction

50
Q

Pathogenesis of hypertrophic scars in burn victims

A

original bone and site of graft may have excessive collagen deposition

51
Q

Heat cramps result from… and cause…

A

Result from loss of electrolytes and cause cramping of muscles

52
Q

Heat exhaustion results from… and causes…

A

Results from hypovolemia caused by dehydration and causes collapse

53
Q

Heat stroke caused by… and leads to…

A

lack of sweating leads to multiorgan dysfunction, hyperkalemia, tachycardia, arrhythmia, RYR1 stimulation causing muscle contraction

54
Q

Malignant hyperthermia

A

RYR1 mutation characterized by “heat-stroke-like” rise in body temp and muscle contractures following exposure to anesthetics

55
Q

Pathogenesis of hypothermia

A

physical disruptions within cells caused by water crystallization; vasoconstriction and increased vascular permeability leading to edema and hypoxia

56
Q

Clinical symptoms of hypothermia

A

loss of consciousness, bradycardia, afib

57
Q

Types of electrical injuries

A

Burns, vfib or cardiac resp failure

Curie (Ci)

A

radiation emitted

61
Q

Gray (Gy)

energy absorbed by target tissue

62
Q

Sievert (Sv)

A

equivalent dose that responds to absorbed dose multiplied by relative biologic effectiveness of radiation

63
Q

Determinants of radiation effect

A

rate of delivery, field size, cell proliferation, oxygen effects and hypoxia, vascular damage

64
Q

Morphology of ionizing radiation

A

nuclear swelling, giant cells, polymorphic nuclei, multinucleated, cytoplasmic swelling, endothelial cell proliferation and collagenous hyalinization, scarring and contractions

65
Q
