Random 1 Flashcards
DM1/DM2 Diagnosis
Requires 2 abnormals tests (can be from same sample): Fasting > 126 Random > 200 + sx A1C > 6.5% OGTT with 75g glucose > 200
Gestational DM diagnosis
Two-step OGTT:
DM BP goal
< 130/80
Weight based insulin dosing
0.03 - 0.06 u/kg/day
For NPH/R –> 2/3 qAM and 1/3 qPM. Give 2/3 NPH and 1/3 R
DKA
Give fluid replacement, and insulin 0.01 unit/kg bolus + 0.1 unit/kg/hour
goal to lower BG by 10% within first hour
Diagnosis criteria of DM nephropathy
urine albumin/creatinine ration > 30 mg/dl (requires 2 of 3 over 3-6 months for diagnosis)
treat with ARB/ACE-i
DM insipidous
desmopressin
How many carbs for 1 unit of rapid acting insulin
rule of 500 - divide 500 by total daily insulin requirements
How much BG reduction with 1 unit of rapid acting insulin
Divide 1800/TDI
SLGT-2’s and associated ADE’s
Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin
Increased risk of UTI’s, must dose adjust based on GFR
Increased bone fracture risk
Euglycemic DKA - hold 3 days prior to surgery
Can reduce CV mortality and can improve renal outcomes. Used as first line in patients with CHF/CKD (caution if eGFR> 30-45, may consider GLP1)
Causes hyperthyroidism
Graves disease
Goiter’s, Plummer dx
Drug induced (amio)
High levels of T4, low TSH
Causes hypothyroidism
Hashimoto dx, drug-induced (lithium, amio)
Low T4, High TSH (>10)
Hyperthyroid tx
Methimazole 10-30mg qd (first line, 10x more potent than PTU). 4-6 months to see effects, risk of hepatotoxicity
Use PTU if 1st trimester of pregnancy (PTU prevents conversion of T4 to T3)
Both methimazole/PTU = ADE agranulocytosis
Use iodine to reduce size of goiter (7-10 days before procedure)
Use non-selective BB (nadalol, propranolol) for sx relief if HR > 90
Thyroid storm tx
PTU 500-1G load, then 250mg q4h + iodine 1 hour after PTU.
Give prednisone 300 mg IV load +/- APAP, BB (propranolol, can also prevent T4 to T3 conversion)
Hypothyroid tx
Levothyroxine 1.6 mcg/kg/day (synthetic T4)
Levothyroxine 25 mcg (CVD risk) or 50 mcg starting
adjust in increments of 12.5mcg-25 mcg
Higher req in preg, monitor q4-8 weeks
Dessicated thyroid 60 mg = 100 mcg levothyroxine
Myxedema Coma
severe hypothyroidism, given IV t4 (levothyroxine) 200-400 mcg load + 1.6 mcg/kg daily
IV dose ~ 75% of PO dose
+/- abx, IV HCT 100 mg q8h
Pseudo abx
pip/tazo cefepime ceftazidime aminoglycosides mero, dori cipro, levo aztreonam polymixin
MRSA abx
Linezolid, vanco, dapto Bactrim Doxycycline Clinda Tigecycline Ceftaroline Oritavancin, telavancin
VAP - risk factors for MDR
IV abx within 90 days
Hospitalization > 5 days
Septic shock, ARRRT
*Give 2 antipseudo + MRSA for empiric tx
Sepsis
Infection + 2 or more:
AMS
RR >= 22
SBP <= 100
