- Retlessness
- Neuromusclar irritability (chvostek, trousseau, inspiratory stridor)
5 complications of RBP
- Hemorrhage
- Compromised ventilatory function
- Air embolism
- Damage to obturator nerve 2* retractos
- DVT
Pheochromocytoma
- Parosysmal HTN
- Diaphoresis

What is MEN
Group of syndromes characterized by tumor formation in several endocrine organs
MEN1
Turmors in pancreas, pituitary gland, and parathyroid gland
MEN 2
Medulary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and hyperparathyroidsm or mutliple mucosal neuromas
Blood flow to the liver
70% portal vein 30 % hepatic artery
arterial buffer response
an increase in hepatic arterial flow in response to a decrease in portal blood flow 1. maintain hepatic o2 supply and 2. to maintain total hepatic blood flow, which is essential for clearance of many compounds
7 functions of liver
- storage and filtration of blood
- metabolic functions such as carbo, fat, and protein metabolism
- secretion of bile
- storage of vitamins
- blood coagulation
- storage of iron
- detoxification and excretion of drugs
Why is bile vomit usually alkaline?
Large amounts of alkaline phosphate are normally excreted in the bile. A three-fold or greater increase in alkaline phosphates is indicative of biliary tract obstruction
4 symptoms of pancreatitis
- dehydration
- hypocalcemia
- hyperglycemia
- ards
4 disease assoicated with thrombocytopenia
- chemotherapy or unrecognized cancer
- liver disease and splenomegaly
- DIC
- Pre-eclampsia
7 conditions that delay gastric emptying:
- obesity
- pregnancy
- opiods
- DM
- Trauma
- Pain
- Anxiety
Patients who benefit from antiemtics
- eye surgery pts
- GYN
- Obese pts
- History of vomiting
- ECSW lithotripsy
Droperiodol
- An antimetic (2* dopamine blockade)
- Produces extrapyramidal signs (2* dopamine blockade)
- may decrease Bp (2* weak alpha blockade)
treatment for droperidol induced EPS
Anticholinergic (benadryl or benztropine, cogentin)
metoclopramide:
- relaxes pyloric sphincter
- promotes gastric motility
- increase lower esophageal sphincter tone
- relaxes the small intestine
- has antiemetic actions
reglan is used to treat:
- diabetic gastroparesis
- reflux esophagitis
- pts at risk for aspiration pneumonitis
Drugs that increase gastric pH and decrease gastric volume ( H2 blockers)
- Tagamet
- Zantac
- Pepsid
Which drug decrease gastric volume and increase pH the most
ranitidine
4 effects of acidosis on CNS function
- depressed neuronal activity (coma)
- cerebral vasodilation ( increase CBF, and ICP)
- decrease cerebral perfusion pressure (cerebral ischemia)
- increase seizure threshold
4 causes of metabolic acidosis
- ketoacidosis
- lactic acidosis
- renal failure
- toxic dose of salicylates
plasma K increases approximately ____ for each ___ drop in pH
0.6 mEq/L for each 0.1 drop in pH
8 signs of hyponatremia
- arrhythmias
- hypotension
- pulmonary edema
- mental changes
- muscle cramps 6. weakness
- myoclonia
- edema
3 factors that promote hypokalemia
- alkalosis
- insulin
- beta 2 adrenergic stimulation
7 ways to treat hyperkalemia:
- give calcium gluconate
- give glucose/insulin
- give sodium bicarbonate
- give diuretics
- give kayexalate
- use HD
- hyperventilate
Plasma K is decrease ___ for each ___ mmHG decrease in PaCO@
0.5 mEq/L for each 10 mmgHg decrease in PaCO2
What should be given to the hyperkalemic pt when ventricular dysrhythmias appear?
calcium
6 physiologic function that require Ca
- action potentials in smooth and cardiac muscle
- blood coagulation
- bone formation
- muscle contraction
- membrane excitability (ca++ controls threshold)
- neurotransmitter release)
A rapid decrease in plasma CA leads to
skeletal muscle spasm (laryngospasm) and tetany
