Q

NY heart associated functional classification of heart disease

A

I-no limitation no fatigue dyspnea or angina pain
II- slight limitation of physical activity results in symptoms
III- marked limitation of physical activity; comfortable at rest but less ordinary activity causes symptoms

Q

What is neurogenic shock

A

This is a type of distributive shock that is also seen with SEPSIS and anaphylaxis

Spinal cord injuries and adverse effects or spinal anesthesia

This occurs from interruption of the sympathetic vaso motor input after a high cervical spinal cord injury

Can have arteriolar dilation
Can have venodilation causes pooling in the venous system and decreases venous return and cardiac output

Q

How would neurogenic shock differ from other types of shock in terms of symptoms

Q

Treatment for neurogenic showcase

A

Similar to relative hypovolemic and the loss of vasomotor tone

Excessive volumes of fluid may be required to restore normal hemodynamics if given alone

Once rule out hemorrhage can use nerepi or a pure alpha adrenergic agent (phenyephrine) may be necessary to augment vascular resistance and maintain an adequate MAP

Q

Hypoadrenal shock

A

The normal host response to illness, operation, or trauma requires that the adrenal glands hypersecrete cortisol in excess of that normally required

This happens in the settings in which unrecognized adrenal insufficiency complicates the host response to the stress induced by acute illness or major surgery

This can be seen with administration of chronic steroids

A 74-year-old woman presents with complaints of fever, productive cough with bloody sputum, shortness of breath, and headache. These symptoms developed and worsened drastically over the past 3 days. She recently recovered from an influenza infection 1 week ago. Her medical history otherwise includes only well-controlled hypertension. Vital signs on presentation are as follows: T 39°C, HR 106, BP 110/75, RR 30, oxygen sat 95% RA. A chest radiograph is obtained and a subsequent CT scan of the chest demonstrates multiple cavitary lung lesions. Which of the following organisms is most likely responsible for this patient’s presentation?

A

staph aureus
necrotizing pneumonia

The most common organism in necrotizing pneumonia, particularly after a viral upper respiratory infection, is S. aureus. Necrotizing pneumonia is known to be caused by a specific S. aureus strain that produces Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL). Often, this infection and the ensuing pneumonia that develops, is preceded by an influenza infection. T
