UWSA 1= 262 Flashcards
What is the greatest risk to parenteral nutrition?
Central Line Associated blood stream infections
Reactive fetal NSt
- BL FHR: 110-160
- Mod Variable: 6-25/min
- > =2 accelerations lasting >= 15 seconds, >=15 beats above normal
Pt with loss of palpable radial pulse during inspiration. Had recent syncope following 2 weeks ago having URI and vague retrosternal chest pain that radiated to left arm shoulder.
Cardiac Tamponade, pulsus paroxodus. Virus –> Viral pericardidis –> Cardiac Tamponade
Viral Encephalitis, what does the LP show?
increased protein (90), increased RBC (700), NL glucose, 125 WBC with only 5% neutrophils
Neurogenic claudication (Psuedocladication), pain with extension of spine, walking down hill, relieved by flexing spine, waling uphill. What is it, how to diagnose?
Lumbar spinal stenosis, 2/2 degenerative OA, dx with MRI. Narrowing of lumbar canal and compression of lumbar nerve roots.
Paraneoplastics ACTH production, what is it?
A polypeptide hormone (ACTH). How? By Small cell lung carcinoma, have severe hypercortisolism, also hyperpigmentation bcus of MSH receptors being bound by ACTH and MSH
Most common cause of labor protraction? (cervical change slower than expected +/- inadequate contractions). Arrest = no cervical change >= 4 hours with adequate contractions or >=6 hours with inadequate contractions.
Contraction inadequacy. Should be forceful q2-3min. Tx with oxytocin.
Effective measures to prevent aspiration PNA?
Oral care, diet modification for patients with dysphagia, elevating bed to 30-45 degrees. Only J tube, post pyloric feeding has been shown to reduce the risk or aspration. (NG tube/G tube/trachial tube all predispose to ASA PNA) Tx. With Clinda.
Adult stares blankly for several minutes and engages in automatisms such as lip smaking or chewing, then confusions, and leg dragging for 30 minutes (transient post seizure state)
Partial Complex Seizure 2/2 temporal lobe epilepsy DX RMi or RRG (absense no post ictal confusion)
Tx of wide complex Vtach
Amiodarone
Tx SVT
Adenosine
Ca 14, severe neuro sxs, low phos
Malignancy, 2/2 PTHrP
Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia w/CKD
Secondary hyperparathyroidsm. Increased PTH, renal osteodystrophy, pain, increased risk of fracture. Can lead to autonomous adenomas, tertiary hyperparathyroidsm, high CA and PTH.
Precipitating factors for hepatic encephalopathy
Drugs, Hypovolemia, electrolyte changes (low K), increased Nitrogen (GI bleed), infection, TIPS
Young Pt with recent viral illness presents with heart failure, chest pain, arrhythmias
Dilated CM 2/2 viral myocarditis (Cox B)
Back pain, fevers, night sweats, immunosuppressed, back pain, Xray shows cavity infiltrate in left upper lung
Active TV (spread hematogenously)
