dx: midgut volvulus
biliary vomiting –> abd x-ray
no free, air, dilation, double bubble –>
upper gi series (barium swallow)
tx: midgut volvulus
Ladd procedure
tx: catatonia
benzos
ECT
labs in diuretic abuse
hyponatremia
hypokalemia
hypochloremia
up urine Na, K
mgmt: suspect SLE
get ANA
if (+) get anti-dsDNA
how can mechanical ventilation –> cardiac arrest
ventilation increases intrathoracic pressure
if you’re in hypovolemic shock, there’s already decreased central venous pressure so –> no preload –> no CO –> cardiac arrest
mouth pain, drooling, tongue displaced up
ludwig angina (cellulitis of submandibular space)
tx: ludwig angina
IV abx, remove offending tooth
paCO2 and brain swelling
hyperventilation –> down CO2 –> down blood flow to brain –> decreases ICP
methods to unswell a brain
head elevation sedation hyperventilation remove CSF mannitol (osmotic)
anti-dopa drugs: where do they show effects
mesolimbic: antipsych
nigrostriatal: EPS
tuberoinfundibular: hyperprolactinemia
reasons to start clozapine
tx refractory schizo
schizo a/w suicidality
best studies to compare incidence
cohort
mgmt: short cervix (with no previous preterm)
vaginal progesterone
mgmt: short cervix (with previous preterm)
IM progesterone @ 2nd TM
serial TVUS to check for short
short –> cerclage
tylenol before vaccines?
stoppit
doesn’t prevent fever/seizures and may make vaccine less effective
cyanosis, pulse ox ~ 85, chocolate blood
methemoglobinemia
methemoglobinemia labs
pulse ox low and doesn’t move w/ O2
PaO2 is normal (overestimates)
tx: methemoglobinemia
methylene blue
whats on the biophysical profile (+norm)
continuous observation for 30 min non stress test (reactive) amniotic fluid vol (> 2 x 1 cm) fetal mvmts (> 3) fetal tone (> 1 flex/ext) fetal breathing mvmts (> 1 for > 30 s)
when do you deliver based on biophysical profile
4 or less
whats cradle cap
seborrheic dermatitis
fetal demise with limb fractures, hypoplastic thoracic cavity
osteogenesis imperfecta (II)
dx: pancreatic cancer
abd CT
multiple myeloma: path
monoclonal plasma cell proliferation
not enough IgG –> infections
tenderness at tendon insertion points (and a/w)
enthesitis (see in ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis)
hemochromatosis at risk for
HCC
infections: listeria, vibrio vulnificus, yersinia enterocolitica
acid base protracted vomiting
hypochloremic
hypokalemic
metabolic alkalosis
kid: hip/knee pain with antalgic gait and thigh muscle atrophy
Legg-Calve Perthes (avascular necrosis of femoral capital epiphysis)
INH liver injury
worse in old, drinkers and pts with other liver problems
usually self limited
tx: acute angle glaucoma
mannitol, acetazolamide, pilocarpine or timolol
NOT atropine or other mydriatic agents
mass: makes AFP and betaHCG
nonseminomatous germ cell tumors
what do you need to check with low calcium
albumin
WTF is mixed cryoglobulinemia syndrome
path: immune deposits in small/ed vessels
pt: fatigue, purpura, arthralgias, renal dz, peripheral neuropathies
labs: serum cryoglobulins, low complement, +Rh, elevated LFT/Cr
a/w: HCV, SLE
mgmt: blunt GU trauma
- UA
2a. stable w/ hematuria –> CT w/ contrast
2b. hemodynamically unstable –> IV pyelography then surgical eval - consider bladder/pelvis stuff too
what can you give cholelithiasis pts if they’re poor surgical candidates
ursodeoxycholic acid
when does elective chole tx change to chole in next 72 hrs
acute cholecystitis
choledocholithiasis
gallstone pancreatitis
tx: symptomatic bartholin cyst
I&D
Word catheter
dx: endometriosis
laparoscopy (usually don’t need definitive dx)
risks of endometriosis
infertility
age for kawasaki’s
< 5
peak: 18 - 24 mo
criteria for kawasaki’s
fever for 5 days + 4 of these:
- conjunctivitis
- oral mucosa changes
- rash
- extremity changes (erythema, edema, desquamation)
- cervical lymphadenopathy
complications of kawasaki
coronary artery aneurysm
MI
baby: inspiratory stridor worse when supine, better when prone
laryngomalacia
tx: laryngomalacia
usually resolves
can give PPIs for reflux
supraglottoplasty for severe sx
SLE CNS effects (who knew?)
psych
seizures, neuropathy, strokes, chorea
elevated total T4 with normal TSH - how
increased TBG
causes: estrogens (OCPs), liver problems, meds
complications of giving NE (pressors)
NE vasospasm:
- ischemia of distal fingers/toes
- mesenteric ischemia
- renal failure
how to know if a metabolic alkalosis is responsive to saline
urine Cl < 20
saline responsive causes of metabolic alkalosis
vomiting NGT diuretics laxative abuse low oral fluid intake
tx: fibromyalgia
1st: aerobic exercise and good sleep hygiene
then TCAs
then if TCAs don’t work – duloxetine, milnacipran or pregabalin
fundoscopy: swollen and pale disk with blurred margins
giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis)
when do you use a pessary
stress incontinence (3rd line)
tx: bullous pemphigoid
clobetasol (high potency topical glucocorticoid)
labs: bulimia vs diuretic abuse/Bartter’s/Gitelman’s
all have hypokalemia, alkalosis, normotensive
only bulimia with have low urine Cl
when can you not give the NOACs (-xabans)
renal failure
DVT/PE from malignancy
pleural fluid pH: exudative vs transudative (also, normal)
normal: 7.6
transudative: 7.4 - 7.55
exudative: 7.3 - 7.45 (empyemas go < 7.3)
more crap, more acid!
best way to reverse DCM from EtOH
stop drinking!
