Q

Why would you get a respiratory alkalosis in atelectasis?

A

Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung, causing a decreased lung volume (decreased sounds). Happens post op from residual anesthetic effects. This causes a V/Q mismatch - hypoxemia, and INCREASED BREATHING WORK, thus HYPERVENTILATION –> decreased CO2.

Q

Why not use IM Glucocorticoids for anaphylaxis?

A

Would decrease inflammation, but will not provide immediate treatment due to delayed onset of action.

Q

A pleural effusion is swwn with a glucose of 28 and a LDH of 252. The patient has CHF with early liver cirrhosis and rheumatic arthiritis. What kind of effusion is it? And why is there a low glucose?

A

Exudative - has a parapneumonic effusion. See LDH 252 so >200. Glucose is less thant <60. There is high metabolic actiity of the white blood cell.

Q

After treatment for some lung disease, an HIV patient gets confusion. Mucus membranes are moist, no JVD, has lung crackls. Labs show decrease in sodium ( already hyponatremic on admission, now MORE hyponatremic), K, and Calcium since admission. He has been on IVF, BP is fine. Sosm is calculated at 257. What caused the hyponatremia and why?

A

SIADH - Note that causes of EUVOLEMIC Hyponatremia with low serum OSM is SIADH. It worsens after getting more fluids. Patient has PCP, which is a common precipitant of SIADH.

21
Q

Causes of HIGH osmolarity with Hyponatremia?

A

Hyperglycemia

22
Q

What is the A-a gradient with a pulmonary embolism?

A

Increased. There is a V/1 mismatch, more ventilation than perfusion. There is an increase whenever there is an impairment of gas exchange.

23
Q

What is seen in a COMPLICATED Parpneumatic effusion? and what makes it complicated

A

pH <7.2, Glucose is LESS than 60. WBC >50,000; Fever

24
Q

Describe Theophylline Toxicity

A

CNS stimulation like headache, insomnia, seizures, GI distrubance. Cardiac toxicity- arrhythmia.

25
Q

What does Oxybutynin Do?

A

anticholinergic to stop URGE incontinence. Would WORSEN urinary retention

26
Q

Lady post pregnancy only urinating in small amounts, dribbling. She was catheterized during labor. She has no fever, dysuria, urgency or hematuria. The Uterine fundus is palpable, and theres fullness and tenderness of the bladder. what do you do

A

Intra urethral Catheter

27
Q

What causes postpartum urinary retention?

A

Post anaesthesia, bladder overdistention during labor, perineal swelling around the urethra.

28
Q

WHat is a pessary?

A

used to manage STRESS INCONTINENCE and pelvic organ prolapse.

29
Q

What is Imipramine and what is it used for?

A

an intidepressant for childhood bedwetting (eneuresis)

30
Q

Patient is an alcoholic and just had a seizure. has a serum Cr of 2.4, UA shows trace ketones, LARGE amounts of blood, but microscopy shows only 1 RBC with 5-10 WBCs. What is the dx?

A

Rhabdomyolysis. This happens post seizure, The results are from an increase in myoglobin in urinary system.

31
Q

Urinary complications of Sickle Cell Trait

A

Hyposthenuria, Papillary Necrosis, Exertional RHabdomyolosis

32
Q

7 month old boy has fever, and decreased wet diapers. Has leukocytosos, and bumped Cr of 1.4. Next step?

A

Urethral Catheterization, UA, urine culture

33
Q

What is the proper urinary collection in a diaper bound baby?

A

Urinary catheterization

34
Q

What happens if you give a patient moprhine sulfate, IVF of Dex5, with 0.45% saline?

A

Iatrogenic hyponatremia.

35
Q

Why see high urine ph when you have respiratory alkalosis after mechanical ventilation?

A

Since you are forcing hyper ventilation, you are trying to counter balance by expelling bicarb, thuse, INCREASEING BICARB EXCRETION. and retaining H protons

36
Q

Palpable purpura, proteinuria, hematuria, and shows to have a underlying HCV

A

Mixed Cryoglobinemia

37
Q

If there is hematuria THROUGHOUT the stream, where is the source?

A

KIDNEY

38
Q

If there urine STARTS clean, then has bleeding towards the end, where is the source?

A

BLADDER - think prostate, bladder neck, or posterior urethra.

39
Q

If the urine STARTS bloody, then the stream clears up, wheres the injury?

A

URETHRA

40
Q

Why would you do urine cytology

A

high suspicion of bladder cancer

41
Q

When would you do cystoscopy

A

in there is chronic bladder obstruction and they failed all initial management (imaging)

42
Q

WHat is the next step of a lower urinary tract obstruction after the UA shows nothing specific?

A

Renal Ultrasound

43
Q

When do you use a voiding cystorethrogram?

A

to dx vesicoureteral reflux in recurrent UTIs. NOTHING to do with eneuresis.

44
Q

7 year old boy wets the bed often, despite trying everything “nonmedical” (alarms, positive reinforcement). Father had a history of bedwetting until 8. Next step?

A

Desmopressin.

45
Q

what is DEsmopressing, hence why its used for bedwetting?

A

ADH

46
Q

What do you use in bedwetters if Desmopressin fails?

A

Imipramine

47
Q

What are the Renin, Aldosterone, and ADH levels in a Hypovolemic Hyponatremic patient?

A

Decreased BP –> RAS+ (more Renin) and baroreceptors cause +ADH.
RAS+ –> AngII–> INCREASED Aldosterone

48
Q

How does Renin affect the efferent arterioles? Afferent arterioles?

A

vasoconstricts BOTH of them

49
Q

What causes bleeding in a patient with chronic renal failure?

A

PLATELET DYSFUNCTION - due to uremic toxin buildup

50
Q

What do you give in a patient with bleeding issues and CKD?

A

Desmopressin and cryoprecipitate

51
Q

Steps for preventing calcium stones

A

limiting SODIUM intake, since more sodium would actually enhacne calcium excretion. Increase fluid intake, and NORMAL calcium intake.

52
Q

Why shouldnt you restrict calcium in a patient to prevent calciums oxolate stones?

A

Calcium restriction wuld actually increased free oxalate absorption, leading to more oxalate in the urine.
