Endo Flashcards
Cardiac syndrome x
Angina w clear coronaries thought to be to distal microvascular disease in the coronaries
One unit of insulin
Drops sugar 25 mg/dl
Want to keep blood sugar less then 180 in periop period
Nph and glargine
Take a 1-4 hrs to take affect last 18-24 hrs without spikes
Hhs hyper osmolar non ketotic acidosis
Due to lactic acid from hypoperfusion and insability of insulin to deliver glucose but still enough to prevent ketone formation
Type one doabetic emergency
Dec glucose into cells leads to beta hydroxy butirate release which releases aceoatic acid leading to metabolic acidosis
This leads to hyperosmolar state because of the acid and glucose causing increased diruesis
Thats causes decrease of all electrolytes because of the increased water in the samlple
Also causes extreme glucose from anywhere 250-1000
Bicarb in dka
Give if ph is less then 7.0
Insulin
Acts via pkb cia pip to pip3
Not camp, because b blockers work via beta receptors which work via camp and decrease insulin release
Hyperthyroidism
Ptu takes days to take affect
For surgery use a beta blocker. Decrease sympathetic as well as conversionof t4-t3
Chronic use of amiodidone can lead to hypothyroidism because of the iodine
Avoid sympatheto mimetics
Methimazole or ptu are used to control thyroid hormone production.
After thyroid surgery
following thryoid surgery one should worry about reccurent layrngeal injury. Recurent laryngeal nerve innervates all muscles except cricothryoid which is innervated by superior laryngeal nerve external branch.
If parathyroid is removed hypoparathryoidism occurs 6-12 hrs later
Hypothyroidism
Myxedema coma has decrease in contractility sv and hr. All lower cardiac output
Pleural effusion are common as well as pericardial effusion lead to restrictive lung disease
Patients retain water leading edema and hyponatrenia
Cushing disease
Cushing disease is tumor of the pituitary gland increasing release of acth
Classic manifestation is hyperglycemia from insulin resistance, htn 2/2 hypervolemia osteoporosis, and hypokalemic alkalosis. And associated arthymias
Too much cortisol
Addisons is too little cortisol
Conn is too much alderstone
Pheochromocytoma
Patients need to have alpha blocker phenoxzynbenazime started weeks before then fluids and beta blocker
Safe drugs in pheo: propofol
Cant give ketamine or ephedrine because they will directly stimulate the sympathetics
Cant give pancuronium becuase it is vagolyitic and causes histamine release which can precipitate a pheo crisis
Cant give succyncholine because convulsions dan leas to increased release of catecholamines
During pheo surgery increased catechol release when manipulated
Treated with short acting drugs like nitroprusside or nicardipine
Diseases woth pheo
Vhl nf-1 and men2a
Carcinoid syndrome
Release of vasoactive substances serotonin kallikrein and histamine can lead to profound hyoptension and bronchospam
Chronic affects of carcinoid include fibrotic patches on right heart endocardium as well as profound tricuspid regurg
Management revolves around decreasing sympathetic stimulation with regional. And avoid hypotension so aggressive fluid resustication. Avoid drugs that cause histamine releas like morphine and meperidine
