Week 10 Quiz (Greg Study Guide) Flashcards
How does obesity affect respiratory function?
compression of fat on structures, kyphosis/lordosis, impaired rib movement, decreased lung compliance, increased metabolic demand, CO2 retention, CC>FRC, OSA, impaired gas exchange
What is Pickwickian syndrome?
obesity hypoventilation syndrome- characterized by OSA, hypercapnia, daytime hypersomnolence, hypoxemia, cyanosis-induced polycythemia, respiratory acidosis, pulmonary hypertension, and R sided heart failure
What are some considerations when intubating an obese patient with OSA?
conservative sedation (may use dexmedetomidine), extensive airway assessment, STOP BANG, regional when able, use ramp, CPAP during preoxygenation, use short acting agents, have another provider available
What are some considerations when preparing to extubate an obese patient with OSA?
use CPAP, avoid opiates, anticipate longer monitoring in PACU
What is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
excess of intrahepatic triglycerides, impaired insulin activity, and release of inflammatory cytokines as a result of obesity–> leads to destruction of hepatocytes and disruption of hepatic physiology
Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are at increased risk for?
cardiovascular disease and diabetes, cirrhosis
What is the concern in those with OHS/Pickwickian syndrome?
even light sedation can cause complete airway collapse/respiratory arrest
What endocrine disorder is characterized by insulin deficiency, young onset, autoimmune, and destruction of beta cells?
Type 1 diabetes
what endocrine disorder is characterized by relative insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and excessive hepatic glucose production?
Type 2 diabetes
What endocrine condition is characterized by rapid onset, ketosis, hypoveolemia, and is precipitated by acute illness and stress?
DKA
How is HHS different than DKA?
no ketosis, more often with T2DM, slower onset
What endocrine disorder is characterized by abdominal pain and distention, N/V, fever, dehydration, hypotension, hypocalcemia, renal failure and pleural effusion?
acute pancreatitis
What are some causes of acute pancreatitis?
GB disease, ETOH, trauma, elevated lipids and calcium, infection, drugs, ERCP, abdominal and cardiac surgery
What endocrine disorder is characterized by steatorrhea, pancreatic calcifications, and DM?
chronic pancreatitis
What are some causes of chronic pancreatitis?
chronic ETOH use, chronic biliary tract disease, pancreatic injury
What endocrine disorder is characterized by vague symptoms such as pain, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, and biliary tract obstruction?
pancreatic tumors
What are some characteristics of insulinomas?
tumor of beta cells, causes increased insulin secretion and hypoglycemia
What are some characteristics of gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)?
causes hypersecretion of gastrin and gastric ulcer disease
