Lecture 20-21: critical care Flashcards
what is critical care?
complex med management of seriously ill/injured person
lvl of illness/injury involves:
acute impairment of >/= one vital organ system, high probability of life threatening deterioration of pt condition, support of organ systems to prevent failure of body systems
prevent failure of which body systems?
CNS, circ, renal, hepatic, metabolic, resp, shock
types of ICUs in Canada
general med/surgical, specialized, pediatric/neonatl
____ model of care for ICU most common because:
closed; smaller and have one intensivist there that refers out
Canadian ICU have ___% mortality rate and ___% need invasive mechanical ventilation
9; 33
what is invansive mech ventilation?
endotracheal intubation
what is non-invasive mech ventilation?
BiPAP
a clinical (inflammatory) response to nonspecific insult of either infectious or noninfectious origin
SIRS
inflammatory cascade is complex process involving ___ and ___ responses, complement, and ___ cascades
humoural; cellular; cytokine
possible causes of SIRS?
ischemia, inflammation, trauma, infection, multiple insults
SIRS criteria defined as 2+ of following:
temp >38 or <36, elevated HR, resp rate high or PaCO3 low, WBC high or low
sepsis is response to ___
infection
severe sepsis is systemic response to infection + ________
organ dysfunction ,hypoperfusion, hypotension
septic shock is persistent hypotension and perfusion abnormalities despite ______
adequate fluid resuscitation
state of physio derangements in which organ fxn not capable maintainng homeostasis
multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)
metabolic response to stress is driven by:
macrophage activation, counter regulatory hormones, more pro inflammatory cytokines
metabolic response to stress involves liver doing _____
gluconeogenesis
shock phase characterized by:
conservation of energy and blood volume
shock phase needs this kind of resuscitation:
aggressive fluid resuscitation, vasopressor therapy, mechanical ventilation, early antibiotic therapy
catabolic phase is characterized by:
^ immune/inflamm response, catabolic response
goal in catabolic phase?
mobilization of energy stores
what happens in ICU in catabolic phase?
immobilization/bedridden, sedation, neuromusc blockade agents, corticosteroids, hyperglycemia and anabolic resistance
recovery phase often coincides with _____
liberation from mechanical ventilation and discharge from ICU
shock phase also called:
ebb phase
catabolic phase also called:
flow phase
flow phase consists of ___ phase and __ phase
acute; post-acute
acute phase composed of these two periods:
early period and late period
early period defined by:
metabolic instability and severe increase in catabolism
late period defined by:
significant muscle wasting and stabilization of metabolic disturbances
low muscularity is associated with:
^ mortality, v ventilator free days, ^ ICU and hospital LOS
head to toe assessment of critically ill pt involves:
neuro, resp, cardio, GI, genitourinary, infectious diseases, physical assessment
propofol is a ___ suspended in ___% lipid emulsion
sedative; 10
units to use for propofol:
kcal/mL
how to calculate mL/h for propofol?
dose (mcg/kg/min) x actual body wt (kg) x 60 min/g / 10 000 mcg/mL
what is APACHE II?
acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score
APACHE 2 was developed to estimate ___ and is commonly reported in ____
ICU mortality; research
APACHE II is based on variables in first ___h of ICU admission, such as:
24; age, temp, MAP, pH, HR, RR, Na, K, Creat, Hct, WBC, etc
in APACHE II there are scores ranging from __ to ___
0; 77 (> = more severe)
what is SOFA?
sequential organ failure assessment score
