29
Q

Goal CVP in patient with ARDS

30
Q

Hb level that you’d transfuse blood in ARDS patient

A

Only if drops below 7 as transfusion may increase risk of death in ARDs patient

31
Q

Tx for atypical pneumo

32
Q

Causes of a high A-a gradient

A

Having a hard time getting oxygen to alveoli.

PE, pulm edema, R–>L vasc shunt, high inspiratory O2 fraction

33
Q

In a patient with pulm edema, how can PCWP distinguish dx of ARDS from cardiogenic edema?

A

PCWP 18, likely cardiogenic.

34
Q

What should you look for in patient with pulm hemorrhage?

A

Most likely due to drug use

35
Q

Drug that has been known to cause hypersensitivity PNA

A

Methotrexate

36
Q

3 conditions that cause acidic pH in pleural effusion

A

empyema, TB, malignancy

37
Q

When do you see high TG levels in pleural effusion?

A

Thoracic duct rupture

38
Q

Lights criteria

A

Serum: effusion protein ratio >0.5
Serum: effusion LDH ratio >0.6
Effusion LDH > 2/3 ULN LDH

39
Q

Which portion of breathing cycle is ventilator driven?

A

Inspiration

40
Q

MCC of croup

A

Parainfluenzae viruses 1 and 2

41
Q

Steeple sign

A

“subglottic narrowing” .. seen in Croup

42
Q

In cases of suspected epiglottitis, when should you examine throat?

A

ONLY in places where immediate intubation is available as examination can cause further resp distress and resulting occlusion.

43
Q

Swollen, opacified epiglottis that partially obstructs airway

A

Thumbprint sign seen in epiglottitis

44
Q

Kiddos with bronchiolitis are at increased risk for developing?

45
Q

Most common fatal autosomal recessive disorder in US?

46
Q

Rx that aids in decreasing viscosity of secretions in CF

47
Q

What is the CURB 65 crieteria

A 
Confusion
Urea > 20 mg/dL
Respiratory rate >30
BP
Age > 65

Scores ranging from 0-1 are low risk, treated outpatient.
2 is considered appropriate for hospitalization
3-5 considered for ICU care.

48
Q

2 meds used in ARDs to help prevent pulmonary edema

A

Furosemide, albumin

49
Q

Placing a patient in what position helps to improve oxygenation in ARDs

A

Prone. DOESNT IMPROVE SURVIVAL.

50
Q

Dx characteristics of ARDS

A

Bilateral fluffy interstitial infiltrates (due to pulm edema)
PCWP

51
Q
