32
Q

What is the consensus formula?

Start IV fluids at 500mls / hr after 1 hour assess urine output if < 30-50 MLS per /hr increase fluids by 20%
if urine is greater than 30-50 MLS per /hr reduce fluids by 20%

34
Q

What is the volume of choice for burns?

A

Crystalloid solution Lactated ringers

35
Q

Electrolyte imbalance happens in 2 phases. Phase 1 starts?
Phase 2 ?

A

0-36 hours hypernatremia and hypokalemia begins
3-7 days hypernatremia, hypokalemia,hypomagnesium,hypo calcemia

36
Q

Treatment for Rhabdomyolysis ?

A

Watch urine output -1-2 ml/kg/hr
NAHCO3 ( bicarb) to alkalize the urine.
Mannitol and Lasix

37
Q

A patient is requiring massive transfusions of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). Which electrolyte abnormality would you monitor for?

A

PRBCs, or banked blood, contain high levels of potassium due to the hemolysis that takes place. Monitor for tall, peaked T waves and a gradual widening of the QRS complexes.

38
Q

Death within minutes in multi-system trauma is most often a result of?

A

Great vessel laceration is a common cause of death in multi-system trauma patients. Aortic disruption is the most common cause due to the shearing injury that occurs from the deceleration forces seen in high force accidents.

39
Q

A basilar skull fracture is often associated with?

A

Seventh cranial nerve

40
Q

A 70kg patient with second and third-degree burns involving 45% TBSA is being transferred 26 hours post-injury. The physician reports that the patient has had a total of six liters of fluid in a 24-hour period. Using the Parkland formula, how much fluid should this patient have received in the first 24 hours of burn care?

A

The Parkland formula states kg x TBSA x 4mL = volume/24 hours. 70kg x 45 x 4 = 12,600 mL. [12,600/2 = 6,300 in the first eight hours]. The question asked how much the patient should get in the first 24 hours so the correct answer is 12,600 mL.
