Critical Care Flashcards
BiPAP Numbers
IPAP/EPAP
10/5
Winter’s Formula
PCO2 = 1.5 x HCO3 + 8 +/- 2
Causes of HAGMA
Methanol, Uremia, DKA/drugs, phosphate/paraldehyde, ischemia/iron/isoniazid, lactate, ethylene glycol, starvation/salicylates
Causes of NAGMA
Diarrhea, ureteral division, RTA, hyperalimentation, Addision/Acetazolamide/ammonium, MISC
Mineralcorticoids and acid base issues
stimulate H+ excretion
metabolic alkalosis
Metabolic Alkalosis –> Low urinary chloride
Vomiting
NG Suction
Over-diuresis
Post-hypercapnia
Metabolic Alkalosis + HTN
Cushing Disease
Conn Syndrome
Renal Artery Stenosis
Renal Failure + Alkali
Metabolic Alkalosis with normal chloride and no HTN
hypomag, hypok
Laxative Abuse
Licorcie
Barter’s, Gietlmann’s
Delta Ratio
ag-12 / bicarb -24
Delta Ratio of 1-2
AGMA
Delta Ratio > 2
AGMA + metabolic alkalosis
Delta Ratio < 1
AGMA + NAGMA
Respiratory Acidosis Causes- Three Categories to Think About
- chest cavity
- central respiratory drive
- lung/airways
PE causes respiratory ….
alkalosis
Hypovolemic Shock
- Decreased Preload
- Decreased CO
- Increased SVR
Cardiogenic Shock
- Increased Preload
- Decreased CO
- Increased SVR
Distributive Shock
(excessive vasodilation)
Decreased Preload
Increased CO
Decreased SVR
Causes of Distributive Shock
Anaphylaxis
Neurogenic
Sepsis
Obstructive Shock
decreased Preload, CO
increased SVR
Causes of Obstructive Shock
PE severe RHF Tension PTX Cardiac Tamponade Restrictive CM
Cold Shock
increased SVR, decreased CO
clamped down (decreased pulses, long cap refill)
give Epi
Warm Shock
decreased SVR, increased Co
brisk cap refill, bounding pulses
give NE
