PBR2 Flashcards
amiloride mechanism
potassium sparing diuretic, directly decreases cGMP gated sodium channel activity, decreases lithium entry into tubular cells (reverse lithium-induced nephrogenic DI)
spironolactone/eplerenone
potassium sparing diuretics that competitively inhibit mineralocorticoid receptor
pacemaker indication
long QT, SA/AV node disease, reduce outflow obstruction with HOCM, treat dilated CM, mobitz type II because usually progresses to complete
ultrasound
attenuate least - water (echo lucent)
L5 distribution
lateral aspect of knee, dorsum of foot
dose dependent effects on SSEPs
barbs, propofol, volatiles, benzos, nitrous
leak for neonate ETT
15-25 cm H2O
type II error
failing to reject the null when it is actually false
barb use with aneurysm clipping
indicated when prolonged vessel occlusion is unavoidable and when EEG slowing occurs with occlusion - reduces metabolic activity (ischemic protection)
nitrous and CMRO2
increases metabolic rate, vasodilator - increases ICP
CBF and PaO2
CBF remains constant at a PaO2 greater than 50
Higher chance of latex allergy
mango, kiwi, chestnut, avocado, passion fruit, and banana
NMB recovery signs most reliable
sustained head lift for 5 seconds, sustained leg lift for 5 seconds, sustained handgrip for 5 seconds, maximum inspiratory pressure 40 to 50 cm H2O or greater
CCB and dantrolene
lethal ventricular fibrillation due to hyperkalemia in anesthetized swine
Garlic, ginkgo, and ginseng how long to wait
Garlic 7 days, ginseng 24 hours, and Ginkgo lasts 36 hours
rapid shallow breathing index
RSBI = respiratory rate/tidal volume; less than 100/105 with max FiO2 0.4
Phenoxybenzamine and pheo
Reduction in mortality is potentially reduced from 40-60% to 0-6% with the preoperative implementation of alpha-adrenergic receptor blockade, typically performed 10-14 days prior to surgery
Protein binding in preg
Maternal and fetal albumin levels are comparable; as opposed to alpha-1-acid glycoprotein which is at much higher levels in maternal plasma; bound to albumin more likely to cross placenta
Decreased preeclampsia risk
Cigarette smoking
LIM can detect
high current fow >2mA
most anesthesia drugs transported across placenta
via diffusion
increase intraocular pressure
hypercapnea, decreased PaO2, elevated CVP, succhinylcholine, some anticholinergics (IV atropine does not)
acquired antithrombin deficiency
nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, DIC (may have resistance to heparin)
pulmonary artery rupture risk
age >60, pHTN, hypothermia, anticoagulation, overinflation of balloon
compartment syndrome symptoms
sensory deficits before motor, manifest distal to involved compartment
brain dead and acetylcholine
lack release of endogenous acetylcholine - need to use direct agonists like isoproterenol to treat bradycardia
