Week 5 (Exam 2) Flashcards
DISH
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
Calcification and ossification of spinal ligaments, enthesis
Men, back pain, stiffness, R T-spine more involved
No SI joint involvement
Ossifications of at least 4 contiguous vertebral levels
Ketamine
Moderately rapid onset IV anesthetic, NMDA antagonist
CV stimulation, increased cerebral blood, emergence reactions that impair recovery
Propofol
Rapid onset IV anesthetic, GABAa agonist
Used in induction and maintenance
Can cause HPTN
Useful antiemetic
Excitatory Ion channels used in general anesthetics
Ach
AMPA
5HT
Local anesthesia and the heart
Except cocaine, slows conduction velocity and causes arteriolar dilation ad systemic HPTN
Etomidate
Rapid onset and pretty fast IV anesthetic, GABAa enhancer
CV stability, decreased steroidogenesis
Involuntary muscle movements
SLE presentation
Oral ulcers (nasopharyngeal ulcers, painless)
Arthritis
Serositis (pleurites, rub or PE, EKG changes)
Proteinurea, seizures, anemia, or others
Symmetric Vs Asymmetric Chronic Polyarthritises
Symmetrical: Ankylosing Spondylitis, Enteropathic Arth,
Asymmetrical: Psoriatic and Reactive Arthritis
Fentanyl
Slow onset IV anesthetic
Naloxone reversal agent
Balanced anesthesia and conscious sedation
Produces marked analgesia
Neck finding in RA
Atlantoaxial subluxation (C1C2) due to erosion of odontoid process
IV anesthetics
Diazepam (Valium) Etomidate Fentanyl Ketamine Midazolam Propofol
Rip pattern ANA
Anti DS DNA, 50% SLE
Dexmedetomidine
a2 adrenergic agonist
Produces hypnosis at locus caeruleus
Sedative effect is like a physiologic sleep state
Used for short term sedation of intubated and ventilated patients in ICU or as adjunct
Steroid regimen for gout
Prednisone 40mg po/day x5-7 days, taper
Benzo adjunct to anesthesia
Increases GABAa receptor sensitivity to GABA
Diazepam, Lorazepam, Midazolam
Flumazenil
Physical criteria for RA
Must score at least 7 points!
1 point: 1 large joint
2 points: 2-10 large joints, or 1-3 small joints
3 points: 4-10 small joints
5 points: above 10 joints (at least one small)
Inhibitory Ion channels used in general anesthetics
Chloride (GABA and Glycine)
Potassium (K2p, possibly Kv, Katp)
Opiod adjuncts to anesthesia
IV fentanyl, sufentanil, remifentanil, morphine
Premedication and adjunct for preoperative analgesia
