Open vs. Closed unit

A

Open:-multiple staff is coming and going, physicians, ancilary staff, nurses, all managing a patient-most typically usedClosed:certain staff including an intensivist who managed your patient. Great, unless the intensivist missing something, or something special happens that’s not in the intensivists realm of specialty.

Q

Ventilation vs. Respiration

A

Ventilation is the rate at which gases enter or leave the lungs whereas respiration is the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction

Q

The Ventilation-Perfusion (V/Q) ratio (normal?)

A

The V/Q ratio is the ratio between the amount of air getting to the alveoli (the alveolar ventilation, V, in ml/min) and the amount of blood being sent to the lungs (the cardiac output or Q - also in ml/min).V/Q = (4 l/min)/(5 l/min)V/Q = 0.8

Q

What is ECMO and how does it work?

A

-extracorporeal life support-De-saturated blood is drained via a venous cannula, CO2 is removed, O2 added through an “extracorporal” device (often misnamed an oxygenator), and the blood is then returned to systemic circulation via another vein (VV ECMO) or artery (VA ECMO)

Q

Patho of ALI/ARDS phases

A

-Phase 1: (inflammation and exudation) Capillary membranes are compromised and alveoli begin to fill with protein rich fluid. Type I alveolar cells are destroyed. Hyaline membranes are formed.-Phase 2: (proliferation) Type II alveolar cells are damaged & surfactant production declines. Inspiratory pressures increase as compliance decreases resulting in a ventilation/perfusion mismatch.-Phase 3: (resolution) Fibrotic tissue develops resulting in increased pulmonary pressures and ventilation dead space.

49
Q

NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL interventions for ALI/ARDS

A

-Nutrition Support-Prone positioning: Guérin et al (2013) found early prone positioning decreased 30 & 90 day mortality-Mechanical Ventilation: Low VT and high PEEP,FiO2 below 60%, High Frequency Oscillation-Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS): Lung bypass, ECMO

50
Q

A

Lung Cancer

52
Q

Treatment options for lung cancer

A

-Proton therapy: A type of radiation that uses high energy beams.-Chemotherapy:The most commonly used drugs to treat small cell lung cancer are cisplatin or carboplatin with etoposide.-Brachytherapy: radiation beads or rods are inserted at the cancer site.

53
Q

-One of the most common congenital abnormalities-Incidence 1 in 2000 to 5000 births-One third of infants with this are stillborn, usually due to associated fatal anomalies like neural tube defects and cardiac defects-Defects are common on left side (80%) compared to right (20%)-expected risk in a 1st degree relative is 1 in 45combo with karyotype is associated with poor outcome-Bilateral is very rare

A

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias (CDH)

54
Q

two main CDH

A

55
Q

How to diagnose/treat CDH

A

-CXR showing displaced organs into the chest cavity-diagnosed with ultrasound usually in utero, can be diagnosed 1st day of life-EKG shows stress to heart-surgical treatment: Laparotomy, thoracotomy, laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. When diaphragmatic tissue is adequate, primary repair with nonabsorbable suture can be done. If the defect is too large, prosthetic material can be used for a tension-free repair-Meds: nitros oxide in lung and htn medicine

56
Q

A

Type 1 diabetes

69
Q

AACE/ADA Recommended Target Glucose Levels in ICU Patients

A

ICU setting:-Starting threshold of no higher than 180 mg/dL-Once IV insulin is started, the glucose level should be maintained between 140 and 180 mg/dL-Lower glucose targets (110-140 mg/dL) may be appropriate in selected patients -Targets 180 mg/dL are not recommended 180: NOT RECOMMENDED

70
Q

AACE/ADA Target Glucose Levels in Non–ICU Patients

A

Non–ICU setting:-Premeal glucose targets <40

71
Q

Severe hypoglycemia is defined as a blood glucose level?

A

less than 40, less than 50 = decrease in cerebral glucose availability

72
Q

Events Triggering Hospital Hypoglycemia

73
Q

Features Increasing the Risk of Hypoglycemia in an Inpatient Setting

A

-Concurrent illness (cerebral vascular accident, congestive heart failure, shock, sepsis)-Concurrent medications (Beta-blockers, quinolones, epinephrine)-Advanced age-Renal failure-Liver disease-Ventilator use

74
Q

Continuous Variable Rate IV Insulin DripAtlanta Multiplier Method

A

-*(formula on test) Starting Rate Units / hour = (BG – 60) x 0.02, where BG is current Blood Glucose and 0.02 is the multiplier-Check glucose every hour and adjust drip-Adjust Multiplier to keep in desired glucose target range (90 to 120 in ICU; 100 to 140 on floor)

75
Q

Converting to SC insulin from IV protocol? What’s the exception?

A

-If More than 0.5 u/hr IV insulin required with normal BG, start long-acting insulin (glargine). ——-Exception: if no prior DM and normal A1C, may not need SC insulin-Must start SC insulin at least 1 to 2 hours before stopping IV insulin-Some centers start long-acting insulin on initiation of IV insulin or the night before stopping the drip

76
Q

Correction Bolus Formula

80
Q

Treatment of DKA

A

HYDRATION!!!Normal Saline:500-1000 cc/hr for 4 hours, then 250 – 500 cc/hr for 4 hours, then 125-250 cc/hrOnce glucose is < 200, should change fluids to D5 ½ NS until insulin drip is stoppedInsulin-Insulin drip: Bolus: 0.15 units/kg, then infuse at 0.1 mg/kg/hrIdeally should decrease glucose 50-100 mg/dL per hourIn DKA: Change to subcutaneous regimen once anion gap has closed and patient is ready to eat.Need to give long-acting insulin dose several hours prior to stopping insulin drip.AccuchecksEvery 1 hour initially, then every 2 hours, and so on.Serial ElectrolytesPotassium repletionShould add potassium to IV fluids once potassium < 5

81
Q

Treatment of HHS

A

-Hydration!!!: Even more important than in DKA-Find underlying cause and treat!-Insulin drip: Should be started only once aggressive hydration has taken place. Switch to subcutaneous regimen once glucose < 200 and patient eating.-Serial Electrolytes: Potassium replacement.
