OPP MISSED U WORLD Flashcards
A patient with cirrhosis along with fever and ascites + abdominal tenderness is concerning for
a bacterial infection of the ascitic fluid known as sponataenous bacterial peritonitis
caasued by enteric bacteria like ecoli and klebsiella
what is the first best step in treatment of someone with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
uregnt evaluation in the ER with a paracentesis
diagnosis is made when the ascitic fluid neutrophil count is greater than 250mm
after urgent evaluation of SBP what is the next step?
starting IV broad spectrum antibiotics
Acute back pain usually resolves in 6 weeks if MSK in nature what is the best step to treating
exluding red flags (malingnacy, constituional symptoms)
Anaglesgics, OMT(gentle)- reciprocal inhibition)
anaglescis like NSAIDS are contraindicated in CKD and GI bleeding so topical ones can be used or a lidocain patch would also work
lateral femoral cutatneous nerve distribution
upper lateral thigh
L2-L3
LFCN runs lateral to the psoas underneath the inguinal ligament
Meralgia paresthetica
leg pain and decreased sensation in the distrubution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
pain, parathetias, numbness but strength is normal
Meralgia Paresthetics treatment
- decrease nerve compression (weight loss)
- address somatic dysfunctions
a radial head fracture should be considered in patients with?
limited forearm range of motion and tenderness over the lateral aspect of the elbow
evaluation of a radial head fracture?
- plane radiographs
- pain control, orthopedic evaluation, potential surgery, OMT
chapman point of the kidney
anterior: 1 inch lateral and above umbillicus
posterior: between the spinous and transverse process of T12-L1
what lies at the chapman point between the sinous process and transverse process of T9-T11
ovary
thomas test is positive in
psoas syndrome
tender point: 2/3 between the ASIS and midline
chapman point for anterior lumbar 1
just medial to the ASIS
piriformis chapman point
7cm medial to the greater trochanter
treatment: FABER
lower pole L5 tenderpoint
just below the PSIS
treatment: prone, extend hip, adduct and rotate
upper pole L5 tenderpoint
just above the PSIS
treatment: prone, extend at hip, adduct and internally rotate
rotator cuff tendinopathy symptom involving the supraspinatus
painful shoulder abduction
point tenderness at the acromion
remodeling of the tissue
preserved strangth and ROM
adhesive caspulitis
glenohumeral joint caspule contracture that causes decreased ROM in the shoulder
bicipital tendonitis
inflammation of the long head of the biceps tendon
anterior shoulder pain with painful arm flexion or supination
labral tears of the gelnohumoral joint
reduced ROM and crepitus
Rotator Cuff tendiopathy diagnosis and treatment
- clinical diagnosis unless you suspect something else then imaging (tear)
- conservative management -NSAIDS, PT, OMT
shoulder immobilization should be avoided after most shoulder injuries because
there is a risk of developing capular adhesions (spencer techniques can aid in breaking up capsular adhesions)
patient with dysuria, urinary frequency, isolated pyuria (WBC) but no bacteruria most likely has?
infectious urethritis
STD
