Q

Purpose of anion gap

A

To identify the cause of a metabolic acidosis

Unmeasured anions are more abundant than unmeasured cations, the AG is essentially a marker of the amount of unmeasured cations

31
Q

32
Q

How common are nosocomial events?

A

-16.3% in dogs
-12% in cats

33
Q

True or False: HAIs in ICU are thought to originate either from the patient’s own endogenous flora or from exogenous sources

A

True

A

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae

35
Q

Replacement of 50% of total blood volume (TBV) within 3 h.

37
Q

A

Defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection

38
Q

A

Subset of sepsis in which underlying circulatory and cellular/metabolic abnormalities are profound enough to substantially increase mortality.

Infectious versus more commonly non-infectious

Non-infectious breaks down into acute (<24 hours) versus delayed

Transfusion related circulatory overload (TACO)
Metabolic derangements
Dilutional coagulopathy

Acute immune:
Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions
Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction
Allergic reactions
TRALI

Delayed non-immune:
Iron overload

Delayed immune:
Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction

Incidence of reaction

A

0-38%

52
Q

TACO

A

Transfusion associated circulatory overload

Acute non-immunologic reaction secondary to increases in blood volume mediated by transfusion
-acute respiratory distress
-hydrostatic pulmonary edema
-occurs within 6 hours of transfusion

Evidence of left atrial overload

53
Q

TRALI

A

Closely mimics taco but is different in the sense that it is a inflammatory trigger that increases capillary permeability and causes exudative pulmonary edema

Antigen-antibody reaction in the lungs

No prior lung injury
No evidence of left attial hypertension

54
Q

TRALI I

A

No risk factors for ARDS

PF < 300
Clear evidence of bilateral pulmonary edema on rads
No evidence of left atrial hypertension
Onset within 6 hours

55
Q

TRALI II

A

Similar to type one but also includes patients that are at risk for ARDS

56
Q

TRALI vs TACO

A
57
Q

CURATIVE guidelines for FATE

A

Recommend treatment for thrombophylaxis

Recommends use of clopidogrel, UFH, LMHW

Recommends AGAINST aspirin as the sole anti thrombotic

Warfarin should not be used

Rivaroxaban recommended

Apixaban not mentioned but has shown to be well tolerated in cats
