Q

Presentation of pseudomonal infections associated with hot tub use

A
  • folliculitis

75
Q

What is the physiologic reason why patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema benefit from BiPaP?

A
  • decreased dead space ventilation
  • increased tidal volume
  • increased alveolar to minute ventilation
  • decreases preload (reduced cardiac output increases LV filling pressures and LA pressure (which is preload) – elevated presssure is transmitted to pulmonary capillaries, leading to fluid transudation
  • decreases afterload
76
Q

Next step after patient diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism and no surgical indication

  • symptomatic
  • complications (stones, SCKD, osteoporosis)
  • calcium 1 mg or higher above normal
  • high urinary calcium excretion
78
Q

anal fissure management

A
  • topical nitroglycerin (improves blood flow to the anal area, which improves wound healing)
  • sitz bathes
    IF refractory – botox injection
79
Q

Varenicline in patients with cardiovascular disease

A
  • adverse CV events are possible, but benefits of stopping smoking outweigh risks
80
