Nov/Dec '21 Flashcards
EKG X axis, 1mm= , so 5mm/1 big box =
40 msec
1 big box = 0.2 seconds
how many millivolts are required for the R wave in lead aVL for one of the suggested LVH criteria?
1.1 mV (11 small boxes)
normal pacemaker rates AV node and ventricle
AVN 40-60, ventricle 20-40
NSTEMI occlusion v without occlusion outcomes
acute total occlusion had higher short and long term risk of MACE and mortality
What is the mm cutoff in lead V2 for STEMI criteria for a 35 yo male
2.5 mm
EKG change in hypercalcemia, waves specifically
osborn waves (pronounced J waves)
what is arterial pulse tapping artifact?
electrical arifact caused by placing an electrode in close proximity to a large artery, can change ST segment and T wave
which lead is reciprocal to aVL?
lead III
true or false, it is normal to have negative T waves in some of the right precordial leads in the setting of RBBB
true
which leads have a formal STEMI criteria cutoff other than 1.0 mm?
V2 and V3
true or false: L posterior fascicular block can cause left axis deviation
false, LPFB causes right axis deviation while LAFB causes left axis deviation
some of the most severe LAD occlusions present with what on EKG?
acute RBBB and LAFB
what is the position, in degrees, of lead aVF in the frontal plane?
+90 degrees
AF with WPW aka preexcited Afib is characterized by
irregularly irregular, polymorphic QRS complexes, sometimes with occasional R-R intervals as short as 200msec
elements of classic triad of WPW syndrome
short PR interval, widened QRS, delta wave
target urine output to reduce the risk of rhabdo induced renal failure
200-300 cc/hr
when do you give tetanus immune globulin
ppx for high risk wound in unimmunized
MC neuro symptom from second stage lyme disease
unilateral or bilateral facial nerve palsy
neuraminadase inhibitor with bronchospasm and wheezing as side effect
zanamivir
when do koplik spots occur in relation to the rash of measles?
prior to the onset of rash
what drug can be substituted for ethambutol in the standard 4 drug regimen for pulmonary TB?
streptomycin
which metaphyseal fx are concerning for child abuse?
corner and bucket-handle fractures
what degree of angulation in greenstick fx require reduction?
greater than 10 degrees
can salter harris 1 be seen on XR
often not seen on XR
MC pediatric radial fractures and complication
torus fx, rare for complication because no true cortical disruption
tx for severe erysipelas
anti-strep like ceftriaxone or cefazolin
what is the thurstan holland sign?
triangular metaphyseal fragment in the metaphysis from salter harris II
tx and length of time for poison ivy
prednisone taper over 21 days
