Q

Half-life t1/2

A

The time required to change the amount of drug in the body by 1⁄2 during elimination.
In first-order kinetics, a drug infused at a constant rate takes 4–5 half-lives to reach steady state. It takes 3.3 half-lives to reach 90% of the steady-state level.

t1/2 =(0.7 × Vd)/CL in first-order elimination

42
Q

Differences between Direct Coombs test and Indirect Coombs test

A

Direct Coombs test—anti-Ig antibody (Coombs
reagent) added to patient’s RBCs. RBCs
agglutinate if RBCs are coated with Ig.

Indirect Coombs test—normal RBCs added to
patient’s serum. If serum has anti-RBC surface
Ig, RBCs agglutinate when Coombs reagent
added.

The indirect Coombs’ test detects
antibodies to RBCs in the patient’s
serum. The direct Coombs’ test detects
sensitized erythrocytes.

43
Q

  • aortic regurgitation,
  • aortic stiffening (systolic hypertension in elderly),
  • obstructive sleep apnea
  • anemia,
  • exercise (transient).

PP decreases

  • aortic stenosis,
  • cardiogenic shock,
  • advanced heart failure (HF).
  • cardiac tamponade,

  • β1-blockade
  • HF with systolic dysfunction
  • Acidosis
  • Hypoxia/hypercapnia ( Po2/  Pco2)
  • Non-dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blockers

FE is the best index contractility

45

46
Q

Cardiac sounds features

A

S1—mitral and tricuspid valve closure.
S2—aortic and pulmonary valve closure.
S3—in early diastole during rapid ventricular
filling phase. Associated with increased filling
pressures (eg, mitral regurgitation, HF) and
more common in dilated ventricles (but can
be normal in children, young adults, and
pregnant women).
S4—in late diastole (“atrial kick”). (Best heard
at apex with patient in left lateral decubitus
position). High atrial pressure. Associated with
ventricular noncompliance (eg, hypertrophy).
Left atrium must push against stiff LV wall.
Consider abnormal, regardless of patient age.

47

fibrillation).

V WAVE—increasing right atrial pressure due to filling
(“Villing”) against closed tricuspid valve.
