M7 Immunity 2 Flashcards
MODS
Multiple organ distress syndrome
MODS is characterized by
failure of a t least 2 major organs
hemostasis cannot be achieved without intervention
SIRS leads to _ leads to
MODS
Shock
Causes for mods
Severe injury or illness
Muscle or tissue trauma
Shock
Which shock is most common with mods
Septic
MODS Patho
Uncontrolled inflammation
Vasodilation
Protein mediators leak into interstitial space
Coagulation cascade activates
Hypotension leads to decreased perfusion/micro emobli
this decreases flow to
Lungs
Kidneys
Heart
Liver
MODS leads to ARDs
Acute respiratory distress syndrome 101
Increased capillary permeability
Fluid moves from vessels to alveoli, edema
Surfactant decreases, alveoli collapse
ARDs is indicated by
VQ mismatch
Pulmonary hypertension
Increased resp rate
hypoxia
Bilateral infiltrates
Cardiac mods symptoms
Myocardial depression
BP Drop
Increased HR
Increased permeability causes albumin to go into tissue with fluid
Neuro MODS symptoms
Confusion agitation combativeness letharby
Renal MODS symptoms
AKI
RAAS system stimulation
Aldosterone mediated Sodium and water reabsorption
Tubular necrosis
GI and MODS
Mucosal ischemia
GI Bleed
Hepatic and MODS
Hepatic Encephalopathy
Diagnostics for mods
12 lead EGK
Echocardiography
Stress tests
Immaging for MODS
Xray
CT
MRI
Labs for mods
Lytes
CBC
Renal panel
Liver panel
Cardiac biomarkers
Thyroid
Coagulation factors
MODS medical history
recent injury/surgery
chronic illness - aids, copd, cancer etc.
immunosuppressant meds
MODS interventions
Tissue oxygenation
Volume management
Nutrition management
Organ support
Support for organs
Dialysis or CRRT
Ventilation
When is care withdrawn
Three or more organ systems worsen despite intervention
Death is inevitable with doctor judgment
Life support major interventions
Ventilator
Dialysis
TPN
Blood transfusion
Lab work
Withdrawal of care
Obtain DNR
Start comfort meds
Care for fam
Talk to social work/chap
document
Comfort meds
Fentanyl
Hydromorphone
Propofol
2 Major contributing infections to sepsis
UTI
Pneumonia
Biggest lab value for sepsis
LACTATE
What does lactate indicate
Switching from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism = inflammation
Skin problems that can lead to spesis
Pressure ulcers
Cellulitis
3 Biggest sepsis bacteria
Staph
Strep
E. Coli
Why are diabetics at risk for sepsis
Bacteria love sugar
Best thing to start first with sepsis
Fluids
Hyperbaric therapy used for wounds
why and how
helps wounds health
provides 100% oxygenation to the wound
How soon do you need to do CBC and Lactate cultures for sepsis
Within 6h
Aminoglycoside drugs names end in
can result in what toxicities
Myocin
Renal
Hearing
How to measure Aminoglycoside toxicity…
what labs
First measure Trough
Measure in hour to check Peak
BUN, Creatinine
Biggest number indicator of BP
MAP
Less than 65 PROBLEM
Is SIRS a disease
NO
its a syndrome, first stage of sepsis
Only reason for AIDS patients to get admitted to hospital
Overwhelming infection
Type of Pneumonia that is common with AIDS
Pneumocystis Jerovic
(PJP)
Once you have AIDS, if your CD4 goes up past 200 can you go back to HIV
NO
HIV pregnant mothers can only deliver via
C section
Meningitis that affects HIV pts
Cryptococcal meningitis
Very Dangerous
Skin cancer most common with HIV AIDS
Kaposi Sarcoma
Red spots all over skin
CDC Categories for HIV
Above 500 Cat A
Between 499 and 200 Cat B
Below 200 Cat C
ELISA HIV test is same name as
EIA
HIV Pneumonia jerovic treatment
Sulfamethoxazole trimethoprime
SMZ TMP
HIV Oral candidiasis treatment
Ketoconazole
Nystatin
Mycelex
CART
vs
HART
Combination antiretroviral
High antiretroviral
Best IV antiemetic
Zofran
Decreased cardia contractility results in a drop in stroke volume and cardiac output,
This leads to what other complications
Pulmonary congestion
Drop in body perfusion
Drop in heart perfusion
Cardiogenic shock S/S
Systolic BP below 90
Urine output below 30ml/h
Weak pulse
Cold clammy skin
Decreased bowel sounds
Mental and resp S/S of shock
confusion, lethargy
dyspnea, tachypnea, cyanosis
First line treatment for cardiogenic shock
Oxygenation
Fluids
Pain control
Hemodynamic monitoring
Monitor lab markers
Meds for cardiogenic shock
Dobutamine
Amrinone
Digoxin
Diuretics
Antiarrhythmics
Nursing management of cardiogenic shock
Monitor hemodynamics
Oxygenation
Admin IV fluids
