Q

Trousseau sign

A
  • (hypocalcemia)

- contraction of hand and fingers with the arterial blood flow of arm occluded for 5 min

20
Q

Chvostek Sign

A
  • hypocalcemia

- tap facial nerve below temple and nose/lip twitches

21
Q

EKG with subendocardial MI

A
  • ST segment depression

- Inverted T wave (deep and symmetrical)

22
Q

Normal Magnesium Levels

A
  • 1.8-3.0 mg/dL

1. 5-2.5 mEq/L

23
Q

Hypomagnesia

A
  • alcoholics or result of multiple electrolyte abnormalities

- can lead to myocardial irritability, A-fib, PVC

24
Q

Subendocardial MI

A

(Non-Q wave MI)

  • partial thickness (inner portion)
  • necrosis is patchy
  • due to relative insufficiency of coronary blood flow
  • ST seg depression
  • Inverted T waves
25
Q

ST Segment depression

A

-Occurs with subencdocardial MI, K+ deficiency, digitalis toxicity with ex’s (if ischemic)

26
Q

Normal K+ levels

A

3.5-5.3 mEq/L

27
Q

Normal Ca++ Levels

A
  • 8.2-10.4 mg/dL

4. 5-5.5 mEq/L

28
Q

Hypercalcemia

A
  • raises threshold potential (decreased excitability)
  • EKG: shortened QRS, depressed T waves

–>heart block

29
Q

Hypocalcemia

A
  • lowers threshold potential (easier to excite)
  • EKG: prolonged QT interval

–>ventricular arrhythmia & cardiac arrest

30
Q

Causes of Hypercalcemia

A
  • thiazide diuretic use
  • acidosis
  • adrenal insufficiency
  • immobility
  • vitamin D excess
31
Q

Causes of Hyperkalemia

A
  • endocrine problems
  • renal problems
  • result of K+ replacement/overdose
32
Q

Causes of Hypokalemia

A
  • use of diuretics
  • vomiting
  • diarrhea
  • sweating
  • alkalosis
33
Q

Causes of Hypocalcemia

A
  • multiple transfusion of titrated blood
  • renal failure
  • alkalosis
  • laxatives
  • antacid abuse
  • parathyroid damage/removal
34
Q

Hyperkalemia

A
  • cell membrane hypopolarized (easier to stim)
  • EKG: narrow, tall T waves, shorter QT interval
  • EKG severe: ST seg depression, prolonged PR, wide QRS

–>v fib or cardiac arrest

35
Q

Hypokalemia

A
  • cell membrane becomes hyperpolarized (harder to excite)
  • EKG: decr T wave amplitude, ST seg depression, P wave peaked, QRS prolonged

–>ventricular arrhythmias

36
Q

Symptoms of Hypercalcemia

A
  • fatigue
  • weakness
  • lethargy
  • anorexia
  • impaired renal function
  • nausea
  • constipation
37
Q

Symptoms of Hypocalcemia

A
  • confusion
  • paresthesia (mouth, digits)
  • Carpal spasm
  • hyperreflexia
