STI, acute resp, reactive airway, autoimmune 1 Flashcards
majority of young, sexually active patients who have genital ulcers have
genital herpes, syphilis, or chancroid
hallmark sign: chancre
primary syphilis(painless, highly infective)
syphilis testing x3
culture not possible: dark field examserologic ab testing: VDRL, RBRFTA-ABS (confirmatory if reactive non-treponemal test)
primary syphilis
- chancre hallmark-
spontaneously resolves 3-6 weeks- incubation period 10-90 days (avg 3 weeks)
when to wean (labs)
- Mg: 1.8-2.4 mg/dL- Phosphate: 2.5-4.5 mg/dL - Albumin: 3.5-4.7 g/dL- K: 3.5-5.5 mEq/L- Total protein: 6.0-8.0 g/dL- Calcium: 8.5-10.5 mg/dL- Hgb: 14-18 men, 12-16 women
shunting (what & fix)
Blood bypassing ventilated alveoli -or- going by non-ventilated alveoliNeeds PEEP
V/Q mismatch (what & fix)
Blood going by poorly ventilated alveoliResponds to ↑FiO2
