M5 Perfusion 4 Flashcards
4 stages of shock
initial
compensatory
progressive
refractory
What to do with MODS in end stage
Shift care from pt to family
Gotta have that talk
Compensatory shock S/S
Compensation
Tachycardia
Cold/clammy skin
Circulation is now shunted just to vital organs
kidneys will die due to poor perfusion within
S/S

urinary output after burn
initial
progressive
Low
oliguria
anuria
then high after 72h
After 72h during the high output what are we worried about
Hypervolemia
fluid is rushing back into vessels from body
What to give when pt has hypervolemia
Diuretic
Why do we do isotonic solutions when transufing
Same as blood
Will stay where you put it
ADH =
H2O
Not enough ADH with diabetes insipidus, pt will
pee out all volume
hypovolemic shock
To prevent this with diabetes insipidus, give
Desmopressin
Due to shock, blood will shunt to brain and heart
Stomach will become
what to do

Aneurisms
Bulge or ballooning of blood vessel
2 types of anurism
Saccular - small on one side, like a hernia
Fusiform - vessel expands on both sides
Aneurism in upper aorta
Difficulty swallowing
Difficulty speaking
Heart burn
Age of most common aneurisms

55 and older
FAMILY HISTORY BIG
connective tissue problems
smoking
hypertension
To prevent aneurisms manage
Hypertension
Most prone demographic for aneurisms
White male
Gut problems are usually what triage category
Emergent
may be bleed
may be infection
When you auscultate and feel belly, an abdominal aortic aneurism will feel and sound like
Bruit
Procedures to prevent large aneurisms
Surgery - sowing a mesh graft inside the aneurism to reinforce the area
Nonsurgical - endovascular deployment of that mesh, done at cath lab
What s/s indicates a worsening
