When do you give insulin with K+ levels in HHS
> 5 = nothing
4-5 = 20-30 mEq in 1st liter then 20 mEq/hr
3-4 = 40 mEq
<3 = hold insulin & give 10-20 mEq until >3.3

2. Octreotide
3. glucagon
***if adrenal insuff then give hydrocortisone

triad of Salicylate toxicity
- respiratory alkalosis (earliest sign)
- AG metabolic acidosis
- metabolic (contraction) alkalosis
Tx of Salicylate toxicity
- airway - avoid intubation
2.decontamination - charcoal vs irrigation - D5W - impairs glucose metab
- Bicarb - NaHCO3 1-2mEq/kg IV bolus; then 3amp bicarb in 1L D5W at 2-3mL/kg/hr
- dialysis
pathophys of Salicylate tox
Uncouples oxidative phosphorylation → increased metabolic rate and hyperthermia
s/sx of salicylate tox
- N/V
- resp alkalosis
- AG metab acidosis
- hyperthermia
- AMS
6.pul edema - increased pul vascularity
anaphylaxis epi dosing
.3-.5mg IM
epi cardiac arrest
1mg
push dose epi
10mg syringe with NS –> remove 1cc -> add 1cc epi
management of transient global amnesia
- Rule out CVA (clinically or with further workup)
- Neurology referral
- Once diagnosed, no specific treatment needed
s/sx of transient global amnesia
Anterograde amnesia
Unaware of their memory loss
Normal attention and social skills
Struggle with delayed recall
Periods of time typically less than 24 hrs, but typically lasts 4-6 hrs
No localizing symptoms
