week 1 ICU, SHOCK, DKA/HHS Flashcards
Fast hugs bid
Feeds
- enteral> parenteral
- parenteral ae: thrombosis, fungal inf
(6) Consequences of malnutrition
- dec immune function
- inc susceptibility to inf
- impaired wound healing
- bacterial overgrowth
- ulcers
fAst hugs bid
Analgesia
- nociceptive: Tylenol, opioids (Fentanyl, hydromorphone, morphine, oxy)
- neuropathy: gaba
- do not underdose compared to at home dose
- scales: CPOT, BPS
faSt hugs bid
Sedation
- propofol + presadex > benzos
- benzos cause delirium and cog impairment
- RASS light sedation -2
- optimize control and minimize acute stress response
fasT hugs bid
thrombolytic prophylaxis
- EVERYONE in ICU gets it unless high risk bleed
- LMWH 40 mg SQ QD or 30 BID
- renal impairment use Heparin 5000 units SQ Q8H
- high risk bleed pts use mechanical (non pharm treatment): graded compression stocks or other device
fast Hugs bid
head of the bed
- elevate bed to 30-45 deg in pts with tube
-chlorhexidine .12% mouth rinse TID to prevent bacteria/inf
fast hUgs bid
ulcer prophylaxis
- PPIs or H2RA (famotidine)
- high risk (1 or more): mech vent >48hrs, coagulopathy
- minor risk (2 or more) meds, shock/sepsis/hypotension, hepatic or renal failure, multiple trauma, burns, organ transplant
fast huGs bid
glycemic control
- monitor often; goal 140-180
fast hugS bid
spontaneous breathing trial
- test daily, d/c mech vent at earliest opportune time
fast hugs Bid
bowel regimen
- if pt on opioids add on regimen
- docustae, sennosides, peg
- for emergency release: bisacodyl, enemas, mag citrate
fast hugs bId
indwelling catheters
- peripheral/ venous- iv meds
- central venous- into superior vena cava, long term
- arterial- continous bp, sampling
- foley- urine
** assess need for lines daily and assess site for infection
fast hugs biD
De-escalation of abx
- source control, narrow spectrum when species identified
- dose adj for pk changes
Shock Goals (vitals/labs)
- MAP>65, HR<100
- Hgb 7-9, o2 sat 88-92, svo2>65
- lactate <2
- urine output >.5 ml/kg/hr
- mental status
preload
left ventricle volume
- give too much fluids too fast can cause overload
- pcwr
invasive monitoring options
1. central venous
measures scvo2s from blood pH
- tells how well heart is contracting
- admin flusids, vasopressors, antimicrobals, parenteral nutrition, sample
invasive monitoring options
2. Pulmonary artery catheter
measures svo2 and svr (venous resistance) as well as preload, cardiac outpt
- ae: rupture, inf
