PPHP
Def of Tetany
- State of hyperexcitability of the neuromuscular system due to decreased ionized calcium in the blood
Types of Tetany
Relation between pH & Tetany
CP of Tetany
CP of Latent Tetany
CP of Latent Tetany
- Chovstek sign
Tapping of facial nerve in front of the ear lead to spasm of facial muscles of same side
CP of Latent Tetany
- Trousseau Sign
- Compress upper arm with sphygmomanometer cuff with sphygmomanometer cuff with pressure between systolic and diastolic lead to carpal spasm
CP of Latent Tetany
- Erb’s Sign
Low galvanic current (<5mAm) lead to muscle contraction
CP of Latent Tetany
- Peroneal Sign
Tap peroneal nerve near head of fibula lead to pedal spasm
CP of Manifest Tetany
CP of Manifest Tetany
- Carpal Spasm
CP of Manifest Tetany
- Pedal Spasm
Foot extended in position of talipes equinus position with flexion of toes
CP of Manifest Tetany
- Laryngeal Spasm
Attacks of spasmodic closure of the larynx (stridor)
CP of Manifest Tetany
- Convulsions
With loss of consciousness
