UWorld 2 Flashcards
increased peak pressure a/w unchanged plateau pressure suggests…
some pathology causing increased airway resistance (bronchospasm, mucus plug, ETT obstruction)
increased peak pressure and plateau pressure suggests…
some pathology causing decreased pulmonary compliance (pulm edema, atelectasis, pneumonia, R mainstem intubation)
what is the plateau pressure
elastic pressure (compliance) + PEEP (since you set the PEEP, it's pretty much showing you compliance)
what is peak airway pressure
resistive P (flow x resistance) + plateau P (compliance + PEEP)
explain the hormones in primary ovarian insufficiency
(a type of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)
ovaries stop functioning –> estrogen down
amps up feedback @ hypothalamus –> increased GnRH and FSH
explain the hormones in hypothalamic hypogonadism
usually they’re too skinny –> shuts down hypothalamus
less GnRH –> less FSH –> less estrogen
explain the hormones in PCOS
(i think)
the ovaries are crap and not really ovulating –> estrogen down
hypothalamus goes nuts trying to help –> GnRH up (but not pulsatile)
this makes LH go up more than FSH (which is low/normal)
then also you’re making a bunch of androgens and they get converted to estrone which is an estrogen but doesn’t help so you get high (unhelpful) estrogen
Total: GnRH up, LH up, FSH low/norm, E up
when do you get benzo withdrawal seizures
short acting benzos are more likely
24 hrs+ after abrupt stop

both down –> something else is making trouble
