Finals - SBAs Flashcards
Loop diuretic better oral availability than furosemide
Bumetanide
400 - 2000 BNP
refferal for echo specilaist review <6 weeks
Most common complication post MI
Ventricular fibrillation - arrhythmia
Dresslers syndrome on ECG
ST elevation with PR depression
What is Brugada syndrome
ST elevation + TWI in V1-V3
Left ventricular aneurysm
Hypoxic, pulmonary oedema, persistent ST elevation
Cold peripheries and poor urine output
Cardiogenic shock
Bradycardia and AV nodal block
Inferior MI
Essential test for nstemi
Grace score
> 3 % statin and PCI within 72 hrs
Renal artery duplex scan is indicated when
dramatic rise in creatinine on starting ACEi is seen in renal artery stenosis - diagnosed via renal artery duppler US
Causes of secondary HTN
RAS
Primary kidney disease
Sleep apnoea
Endo - conns, cushing, pheo
A-V nipping on fundoscopy
Hypertensive retinopathy
Malignant HTN Mx
IV GTN, IV nitroprusside, IV BB - get to 160/120
BP targets
> 80 - 150/90 or diabetes
diabetes less than 80 - 135/85 home, 140/90 clinic
ckd / t1dm and ACR > 70 - 130/80
Pneumothorax new guideline
Sympto - no - conservative - primary discharge and review, secondary - inpatient
high risk and sympt ct thorax if not safe and safe = chest drain
not high risk and not safe - conservative care
patient priority - avoid prodcuer - conservative
rapid symptom relief - ambulatory device, needle aspirate if not successful proceed to chest drain
§
high risk features of pneumothorax
haemo compromise
significant hypoxia
bilateral pneumothorax
underlying lung disease or smoking with Hx
P HTn Ix and MX
Echo + PA wedge pressure >20
CCB, Endothelin antagonists e.g. bosentan
Heart-lung transplant
Signs of cor pulmonale
peripheral oedema, raised venous pressure, loud pulmonary second heart sound and systolic parasternal heave (tricuspid regurg)
LTOT
need multiple ABGs regularly
hypoxia reducs RR and ventilation perfusion mismatch raising co2
SCLC - lambert improve muscles
breast cancer with muscle stiffness
sclc cerebellar symptoms and sensroy neuropathy
anti-voltage
anti-amphiphysin
anti-hu
Unprovoked pe
ct tap - consistent with malignancy
no - bloods - gbc, clotting etc - concern then do thrombophilia screen
skin necrosis after warfarin
protein c deficiency

osteomalacia
iron, b12, folate
hyposplenism
t cell gi lymphoma
scleroderma with diarrhoea
small bowel bacterial overgrowth
bile acid malabsorption
sehcat test
barley wheat and rye
coeliac patients should avoid
if Uc patient does not improve with iv hydro on severe admission
iv ciclosporin and input - biologic such as infliximab
suspected ibd
faecal calprotectin
before using infliximab what needs to be done
interferon gamma test and cxr
signs of decompensated liver disease
worsening jaundice
ascites
encephalopathy
coagulopathy
hypoglycaemia
dld discrimination scores
discrimination function - prothrombin and bilirubin - alcohol hepatitis only
child pugh - cirrhosis
