Third Year Saveables Flashcards
TRALI
More common in FFP and platelets
Mortality rate 5-8%!
Supportive and maybe Intubate
Hypoxia fever ARDS CXR
How do you decide inpatient vs outpatient CAP tx?
PSI score!
CAP outpatient therapy healthy and comorbids
Healthy Doxy
Co morbids: Augmentin + doxy OR Levo
Sudden onset
2 labs to order in a septic mimic?
VBg and sailicylate. ASA toxicity
Acidosis with CO2 lower than it should be (resp alk. + met acidosis) co2 should match pH levels
They can intislly be alkalemic with vomiting and resp. Alk
Always get what test in Preg VB
Type and screen for Rhogam
ASA tox treatment
Avoid HypoG Put oxygen on with good sats Replenish K Hydrate sodium bicarbonate in D5w 7.4-7.5 pH Dialysis
What kills is pulm edema and cerebral edema and renal failure
4 causes hypoxia
VQ mismatch (the common lung diseases): PNA, Asthma, COPD, Atalectasis, PE, pulmonary edema, ARDS. Corrects with supplemental O2. Shunt: deadspace (alveoli filled with pus, fluid, or blood); or cardiac defect with RL shunt. Will NOT improve with supplemental O2. Diffusion defect: interstitial lung disease or interstitial edema. Hypoventilation: resp depression, CNS injury, peripheral neuromuscular dz, chest wall rigidity Low Fi02: altitude, SCUBA system malfunction
Absolutely lymphocyte count less than 1600 should make you think about…
HIV
Saline load vs CT
CT is 100/100% ,vs 92/92% for knee saline load good p but lower power
ppx abx
rosh says ct scan is best vs saline load
40 cc is needed for elbow- not sure of CT here.
Codes things you actually shoudlnt do:
- Calcium (harmful, worse outocmes- JAMA 2021 articles)
- bicarb (harmful, worse outcomes)
- Intubate (really just need oxygenation)
- atropine
when do you shock asystole
US shows a quivering heart (asystole is dead heart) and it is fine v fib - shock it
tourniquet on finger which is too tight?
Digital block
use a cutting needle (look to see if conventional or reverse cutting)
Food impaction tx
Don’t use glucagon for vomiting against a closed tube
Nitro paste works!
Secretions a lot of them is a sign, if it stops then there is partial passage. Then GI scope maybe
CHF risk factors for poor prognosis
hyponatremia, poor renal function, hypoalbuminemia, and congestive hepatopathy or elevated liver enzymes.
why low plt in liver disease?
Portal hypertension leads to splenomegaly, which causes platelet sequestration and is the largest contributor to thrombocytopenia.
ptosis ddx
bells stroke MG brain aneyrusm horners
thyroid dz with eye pain
watch out for conreal ulcer
dacroadenitis is
inflammation of lacrimal gland above the eye- usually viral
