PM Mock 2 Flashcards
COPD management
SABA or SAMA
If no asthmatic features:
SABA + LABA+ LAMA
If asthmatic features:
SABA/SAMA + LABA+ICS
Then:
SABA
LABA+LAMA+ICS
Transudate vs exudate
exudate:
Pleural fluid protein > serum protein
Pleural fluid LDH > serum LDH
Pleural fluid LDH>2/3serum LDH upper limit
Rhabdomyolysis tests
AKI raised creatinine
Elevated CK
Myoglobulinuria
Hypocalcaemia
Elevated phophate
Hyperkalaemia
Metabolic acidosis
Rx:
IV fluids
Urinary alkalisation
DKA Mx
Fluid replacement
Insulin - fixed rate insulin infusion at 0.1units/kg/hr
Continue long acting insulin, stop short acting insulin.
Once blood glucose <14mmol/l 10% dextrose infusion started
Correct electrolyte disturbance, potassium replacement but slowly due to insulin resulting in hypokalaemia
What precipitates digoxin toxicity
Thiazides, amiodarone, verapamil
Hypokalaemia
Renal failure
Hypothyroidism
CF:
Nausea, vomiting, confusion, yellow green vision, gynaecomastia
Mx:
Digibind
Thrombectomy post stroke
Target time of 6-24 hours
If there is potential to salvage brain tissue shown by imagin such as CT perfusion or diffusion weighted MRI
Thrombolysis post stroke
Administered within 4.5 hours of onset of stroke symptoms
Haemorrhage excluded by scan
Secondary prevention in stroke
Clopidogrel
Carotid endarterectomy if
Stroke or TIA in carotid territory and not severely disabled
Consider if carotid stenosis <70% or >50%
Genital wart management
Topical podophyllum for non-keratinsed multiple wards
Cryotherapy for solitary keratinised wards.
HPV 6, 11
Reduced fetal movements management
Handheld Doppler to check for fetal heartbeat
If no fetal heartbeat, Immediate USS
If fetal heartbeat present CTG for 20 minutes to assess fetal HR
If normal CCTG USS within 24h
Organophosphate insecticide poisoning
Salivation
Lacrimation
Urination
Defecation
Bradycardia
Constricted pupils
Rx
Atropine
Asymptomatic bacteruria in catheterised patient Mx
No treatment required

Coal tar OD
Short acting dithranol
Secondary care:
Phototherapy
Psoralen +PUVA
- Can cause skin ageing and squamous cell carcinoma
Systemic therapy :
Oral methotrexate esp if arthritis
ciclosporin
Exacerbation:
Trauma
Alcohol
Beta blockers, lithium, ACEi, NSAIDs
Withdrawal of steroids
Management of intracapsular hip fracture
Undisplaced:
Fit - internal fixation
Unfit - hemiarthroplasty
Displaced:
Fit: THR
Unfit: Hemiarthroplasty
Management of extracapsular hip fracture
Intertrochanteric fracture:
Dynamic hip screw
Reverse oblique, transverse or subtrochanteric:
Intermedullary nail
