FINAL CARDS Flashcards

1
Q

A pt presents with acute intracranial hemmorage, what is the approach to lowering the BP

A

If the BP is above 220, start lowering tx with IV infusion

If below 220 the lower BP to less than 140 (can cause harm)

Q

A pt presents with acute (less than 72 hrs) with ischemic stroke
What is the BP lowering Tx approach

A

Does the pt qualify for thrombolytics?
Yes? Then lower BP to less than 185/100-110 in the first hour and before starting thrombolytics then maintain BP less than 180/105 for the first 24 hours.

No?
Is the SBP above 220?
No? Then restart pts BP medication
yes? Lower BP by 15% during the 1st 24hrs

Q

What are the Cyanotic Congenital Heart Dz

A

Truncus Arteriosis ( basically an overriding aorta)
Hypoplastic L heart (pt never develops a left ventricle)
Tetralogy of fallout ( VSD +PS+RVH+Overriding Aorta)
Pentalogy of Fallot (tetra +ASD)
Total Anomolous Pulm Venous return

Q

Q

A new born presents with HF s/s , poor growths, and has an increased risk of infections,
You hear a pansystolic murmur at the LSB

Think

A

VSD

These pts present acyanotic and then later can develop eisnmerger syndrome and become cyanotic

Increased R Vent pressure lead to what looks like CHF with Edema in the periphery
O se the shunt reverse these pts has a large apical pulse and pulm congestion
With labored RR, grunting, rib contractions

CXR will show Cardiomegaly and prom pulm arteries

Q

Then again at 12 months
Most will spont. Recovery

If its large
Then Diet intervention 2 prevent wt gain
Dietetics, the ACEI, and SRGRY if PAP is greater than 50mmHg

pts with need ABX prophylaxis for dental and RR procedures for any produced with in 6 months of SRGICAL repair

Q

What natural pathway of circulation has not closed

A

PDA

Which normally closes at 1 wk

Leads to LHF to RHF to eisnmerger syndrome leading to LE cyanosis and UE acyanotic

Pt will also have a wide pulse pressure

Q

A mother says her baby gets cyanotic but then does a squat and is able to keep playing

Then squat increases SVR which increase LV pressure

Causing reversal of eisnmergers and reduces cyanosis
