Q

Cross tolerance between?

A

Penicillin and cephalosporins1%

Q

Ashock treatment

A

Life threatening features
Adrenaline *with oxygen for laryngeal edema
-Adjunctive agents
Inhaled beta 2 agonists
IV fluids in poor response to adr(normal saline)
Antihistamines - H1 and H2 blockers
Corticos

Q

Most important-first line of treatment shock

A

Second dose after 5 minutes
Then IV in refractory

Q

Adrenaline acts through

A

Alpha to decrease edema (VC)
Beta 2 for broncho dilation
Beta 1 for cardiac properties
Direct inactivation of mast cells (reduced beta receptor Ig E actions)
Decrease histamine and leukotriene

Q

Adjuncts

A

Inhaled beta 2 agonist like salbutamol
-inhaled adr via nebulizer with oxygen to treat upper airway obstruction caused by the edema
IV fluid(normal saline) in shock or poor response to initial adrenaline

Q

Antihistamines slow onset like corticos

A

Do nothing for life threatening feature
Diphenhydramine(sedating)
Cetirizine(non sedating)
Plus ranitidine

Q

Patients on beta blocker

A

Adrenaline not effective
Take glucagon after adrenaline IV and normal saline
As it has ino and chrono effects not mediated through beta receptors

Q

Cardiogenic shock
-decreased cardiac output with tissue hypoxia with adequate intravascular volume

A

General supportive measures
Vasopressors (nor adrenaline first)0
Isotopes
Mechanical circulatory support
Correct the cause

Q

Other inotropes for cardiogenic shock
Individuals use with guided hemodynamic monitoring

A

Dobutamine (selective beta 1 and all the inotropy)

Q

Airway and Breathing problems

A

Semi recumbent

17
Q

Circulatory problems low BP

A

Flat with or without leg elevation

18
Q

Normal breathing unconscious or vomiting

A

Side (recovery position)

19
Q

Pregnant

A

Side so mo vena canal compression

20
Q

Role of corticos

A

Decrease antibody
Inhibit antigen/antibody run
Stabilise mast cell
Derease tissue response to allergic rxn
Observation for any biphasic reaction 2 - 12 hrs

21
Q

Vasopressors in cardiogenic shock

A

First line for any shock either severe hypotension is NA:
Alpha - VC increasing Systolic and diastolic increasing coronary blood flow indirectly improving cardiac function
Weak beta agonist activity

23
Q

ADH in. Cardiogenic shock

A

Increases sensitivity to NA
For patients with refractory VD shock
