jensen2 Flashcards
best indicator liver synthetic ability
PT
best indicator liver excretory function
bilirubin
anion gap
Na - (Cl + HCO3)
increased anion gap
LUK SEMP - lactic acidosis, uremia, ketoacidosis, salicylates, ethylene glycol, methanol, paraldehyde
large a waves
MS, heart block, atrial myxoma
large v waves
MR, MS, CHF, VSD
ascites with hepatic failure
decreased intravascular oncotic pressure
citrate toxicity symptoms
hypotension, poor CO, decreased SVR - aggravated by hypothermia and hyperkalemia (more pronounced with renal failure)
increased risk for TNS
lidocaine, lithotomy, out patient
altitude change and gas
high altitudes/lower atmospheric pressure = increased vapor pressure (higher amount delivered than on dial)
nitrogen wash out
breathe 100% O2, measure nitrogen volume at initial concentration and final to calculate FRC
biceps strength dermatome
C5-C6
thumb dermatome
C6
triceps strength dermatome
C7-C8
little finger dermatome
C8
nipple dermatome
T4-5
umbilicus dermatome
T10
iliopsoas strength dermatome
L2-3
knee jerk/quads dermatome
L3-4
toe extension dermatome
L4-5
great toe dermatome
L5
plantar flexion dermatome
S1
factor Xa mechanism of action
catalyzes conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
clopidogrel/ticlopidine
noncompetitively and irreversibly inhibits ADp induced platelet aggregation
argatroban metabolism and monitor
metabolized by liver, monitor with PTT (used for patients with history of HIT)
