Burn percent rules
concerning compartment P cutoff?
what is delta P?
30mmhg
diastolic - comp P (<30 is bad)
Decubitus Ulcer staging
Stage I: Superficial injury with intact skin, characterized by nonblanching erythema (in darker-skinned patients, the injury may simply appear darker without blanching), with possible tenderness
Stage II: Partial-thickness injury, with loss of dermis presenting as a shallow ulceration with a red or pink wound bed or intact blister or bullae
Stage III: (see above)
Stage IV: Full-thickness skin loss with exposed muscle, tendon, and bone, which is often accompanied by undermining and tunneling
Most important first step for snake bite
local wound care
Pancreas injury Grading and treatments
I - Drain
II - Drain
III- STaple
Iv - Panc J

What is an acceptable pH when trying to prevent ARDS in burn patients?
7.2
Venous connection for hemorrhoids in Cirrhosis
Umbilical vein connects with these 2
IMV and SH connects with pudendal and inf hem
L portal and epigastric — cap medusae
How is ascites created from portal htn
increased splanchnic arterial inflow from dilation leading to increased hydrostatic P in lymph
Side effects of the burn medications:
Ag Sulf
Ag Nit
Mafenide acetate
Neutropenia
methemoglobinemia and low electrolytes
Metabolic acidosis
Distance rule of thumb for choice of repair in vessel laceration
2cm without tension — primary anastomosis
otherwise contralateral vein with interpostition

immobilization
Which pathways go with PTT v PT/INR respectively
Intrinsic
extrinsic

hepatorenal syndrome mech
3 part treatment
portal htn leads to splanchnic dilation and overal poor systemic art flow, poor renal perfusion
levo, octreotide, vol expansion

Who can we not clear
98.5% sensitivity for CT
3 had FN and central cord , presented with motor changes
new thoughts on TPN causing more infection, trials?
what is a overall benefit?
no difference according to CALORIES and NUTRIREA
