ARDS
secondary bacteria pneumo
secondary fungal pneumo

36
Q

CNS complications of influenza

Febrile seizures (pediatric)
Reye syndrome
RARE others (encephalitis)
GBS

37
Q

cardiac complications of influenza

A

Exacerbation of chronic HF
Viral myocarditis/ pericarditis

38
Q

pregnancy complications in influenza

A

↑ obstetric/ maternal complications, ↑ infant prenatal fatality, ↑ risk of prematurity, lower BW

39
Q

the most common cause of death from influenza = ___ and _____

A

ARDS
secondary bacterial pneumo

40
Q

what is the pathology of ARDS

A

exaggerated, dramatic, inappropriate immune response to pulmonary insult (Ex- viral infection, bacterial, trauma, foreign body aspiration, others) that leads to inability of the lung to participate in gas exchange

41
Q

T or F: we must push air in to ventilate pts with ARDs

A

F- pushing air doesn’t work

42
Q

3 attempted tx for ARDS

A

MV + pharmacologic lung paralysis
proning
ECMO/ECLS

43
Q

what is ECMO

A

dialysis for the lungs
performs gas exchange, Requires major CVICU procedure + is life threatening

44
Q

which of the following is false about ARDS
1. mortality rate is 80%
2. survivors commonly have CLD
3. pts of all ages can get ARDs
4. proning eventually fails

A

1- 50%

45
Q

list 3 times to refer for influenza

A

suspect evolution to bacterial illness
ARDs
difficulty breathing
All pts <2yrs old with influenza
Signs of hypoxia (cyanosis, altered lvl of consciousness, difficult to rouse)
Seizure activity
Double sickening (indicative of bacterial infection)
Viral illness followed by apparent improvement, then sudden clinical worsening (double sickening)

46
Q

2 ways to diagnose influenza

A

rapid antigen testing
molecular testing

47
Q

what is the main con of RAT testing for influenza

A

less sensitive, if negative doesn’t rule it out

48
Q

what is the major con for molecular testing for influenza

A

most costly + long turn around time (24-72hrs)

49
Q

which 2 antivirals for influenza are marketed in canada

A

zanamivir

50
Q

oseltamivir and zanamivir are both (list 3 things)

A

neuraminidase inhibitors
schedule 1
BID
v well tolerated
likely safe i npregnancy

51
Q

in pts requiring hospitalization
1. NAIs decreased mortality in children more than adults
2. NAIs increased the likelihood of death/ ICU if started before admission
3. NAIs decreased severe outcomes if started before admission
4. none of the above

A

3

52
Q

in pts not requiring hospitalization, NAIs…
1. more effect is seen when given after 24hrs
2. more effect is seen when given within 12-24hrs of illnses
3. sees conflicting data on development of ARDs
4. reduces rate of ARDs

A

2

53
Q

T or F: Oseltamivir prophylaxis, when given to high risk individuals, prevents development of symptomatic influenza (80% eff) when exposed to close contacts

A

T

54
Q

____________ is an oral capsule med that has an indication for pts (>12yrs) at high risk of serious or complicated influenza infxns if given within 48hrs (similar to NAIs)

A

baloxavir marboxil

55
Q

baloxavir marboxil should be given within _____

A

48hrs

56
Q

baloxavir marboxil is ____ tolerated, ______ dose(s), and of _____ efficacy compared to oseltamivir

A

well tolerated
1 dose
similar eff to oseltamivir

57
Q

antiviral drug resistance is
1. possible + better characterized with other viruses like HIV
2. not a clinical concern
3. may become a clinical concern in the future as the virus mutates
4. 1+3

A

2

58
Q

what is the main issue with recognizing influenza

A

most pts present delayed to medical care- typically >48hrs since onset of illness

59
Q

T or F: you may decide to tx with antivirals before testing results are back

A

T- if local outbreak and pt presents with high risk = can just start it as delayed recognition may reduce benefit

60
Q

should you treat with NAI if influenza is caught <48hrs from onset, pt is immunocompetent

A

no

61
Q

should you treat with NAI if influenza <48hrs and pt is immunocomp and has risk for severe disease

A

yes

62
Q

should you treat with NAI if influenza caught after 48hrs and pt is hospitalized

A

yes

63
Q

should you treat with NAI if influenza caught after 48hrs and pt has been circulating in close quarters

A

yes

64
Q

should you treat with NAI if it’s been >48hrs of influenza and the pt is otherwise healthy, not hospitalized, and no severe illness?

A

no

65
Q

list 3 nonpharm approaches to managing influenza

A

Rest and relaxation- avoid strenuous activity which could exacerbate respiratory illness if progressive pneumonia
Cold compresses on forehead for fever
Maintenance of fluid and food intake (esp elderly, reduced PO intake = develop AKI or electrolyte disturbances which would require admission)

66
Q

list 2 pharm measures for comfort in influenza

A

APAP/ ibuprofen reasonable for fever and muscle aches
OTC antinauseants for N/V
