Q

Prerenal AKI

A

lack of adequate perfusion to kidneys could be from hypotension, dehydration, bradycardia, hypovolemic shock. the kidney is okay and just need to give fluids. if is prolonged, can lead to damage- intrarenal AKI

Q

intrarenal AKI (intrinsic?)

A

poor perfusion, toxins, uncontrolled HTN or DM has damaged the kidneys. amitriptyline is nephrotoxic, NSAIDS, antibiotics… most common cause acute tubular necrosis. monitor LOC, respiratory (crackles?), weight and give aluminum hydroxide fro bind with phosphorus

Q

hypotonic fluids

A

causes cells to pull water in and swell

hypo its going to blow

32
Q

hypertonic fluids

A

cause the vessels to pull water out of the cell and the cell shrinks

33
Q

Frank-Starling Law

A

to a point, the more the myocardial fibers are stretched, the greater their force of contraction. (Lewis 689)

34
Q

Right side heart failure sxs

A

increased veinous pressure (‘CVP >12), JVD, enlarged organs (hepatomegaly), edema, weight gain, ascites, fatigue, polyuria at night/nocturia and most reliable way to assess fluid loss is weight!
NOT cyanotic, tachycardia or crackles

35
Q

Oliguric phase AKI

A

injury leads to decreased UO (100-400/day) leading to FVE, hyperkalemia, phosphatemia, and ammonia because can’t excrete them. too much ammonia= metabolic acidosis- give continuous RRT, will have kussmaul respirs (and increased rate) to blow off CO2, EKG changes from the hyperk, cardiogenic shock is another cause of metabolic acidosis.

36
Q

priority assessment with electrical burn

A

EKG!
