1-50 Flashcards
(98 cards)
doxorubicin
anthracycline
high dose lifetime dose > 250 mg/m2= high dose exposure
cardiomyopathy - screening with echo
leukemia — anytime no screening
cisplatin
platinum
sn hearing loss — to high frequency at the beginning
fever and neutropenia
preferred method of thermometry?
oral
axillary is a ceptable if cant oral
never rectal - mucosal trauma and bacteremia
infrared thermometry ( tympanic or temporal) not reliable <6 mo
preferred method of thermometey in non neutropenic pts in the first few years of age
rectal
( neutorpenic oral>axillary)
oral approxim 0.6 C lower than rectal
axillary most convenient the least consistent with rectal thermometry
Advil adverse effects
gastritis
inhibition of platelet function
renal toxicity
varicella related group A strep infections
malaria vs babesiosis
fever , hemolytic anemia, theombocytopenia
babesiosis
- tick born zoonosis
- northeast and upper midwestern
- blood smear - detection of tetrad ( Maltese-cross)
Malaria
- vector born parasite
species of malaria
falciparum - mc , can cause severe malaria,
vibex - Asia and central &south america
.
severe malaria treatment
must be treated in picu - aggressive supportive care and iv malaria chemotherapy
IV quinidine gluconate +tetracycline, clinda or doxy recommended
monitor for hypotension, hypoglycemia, cardiac dysehythmia while on quinidine
if cant tolerate IV quinidne - consult CdC hot line and access IV artesunate, course followed by 1 of the following other antimalarial agents ( atovaquone-proguanil, doxy, clinda, mefloquine)
malaria diagnosis
thick and thin blood films ( Giemsa stain)
thick - more sn for detecting parasites
thin - aids in species identification and quantification
RDT ( rapid diagnostic test) for malaria antigen, FDA approved , do with microscopy, high FN and FP results
PCR - for detecting species
blood film is negative fo malaria + high clincial suspicion
smears be repeated every 12-24 hrs over a 3 day period
severe malaria
cerebral malaria (AMS) hypoglycemia renal failure ARDS shock met acidosis severe anemia gburia coagulopathy RBC parasitemis>5 %
LV hypertrophy w/ MR in ….
obstructive left sided cardiac lesion
- aortic stenosis
- severe htn
pulmonary arterial hypertension pathophysiology
- because of pulmonary vascular obstruction and recurent hypoxemia —- right heart failure due to pulmonary disease= cor pulmonale
- pulmonary htn ass with left to right intracardiac shunt —- increased
flow due to shunt
Down syndrome are at rusk of pulmonary htn due to
1 congenital heart disease
2. pulmonary vascular bed abnornalities
pulmonary htn on echo
- RV hypertrophy
- flattening of the interventricular septum
- TV regurg
Fetal and neonatal erythropesisi
both stimulated by hypoxia
FHb has high affinity for oxygen than adult Hb — relative hypoxia in utero
Fetal EPO produced by liver, less sensitive ti hypoxia than in the kidney
Adult EPO produced by kidney and more sn to hypoxia
During 3 rd trimester maternal iron is transferred to the fetus — increased RBC production — prematurity no iron tranfer
hematocrit values in newborn affected by
by gestational age
- no affected of tge neonate , maternal agr or Maternal BMi
at birth term neonates have a higher henatocrit than preterm
preterm
— decreases sn of hepatic sensors to hypoxia
- reduced iron stores( disnt tranfer from mother )
newborn screen is positive for hypothyroidism, next step ?
a confirmatory venous sample should be aent for TSH and FT4
if the filter paper TSH level is higher 40 mIU/L, start immediately in levothyroxine w/out waiting for results
nexk us also may be consodered
ped endo consult is also indicated
hypothyroidism on newborn screen and levothyroxine treatment
- conformatory venous sample TSH and FT4
- if filter pper >40 mIU/L — start Levothyroxine immediatey after sample
dose of levo 10-15 @g/kg per day, by 2 weeks
levothyroxine for infants
10-15 @g/kg start by 2 weeks of age
liquid formulations not available
tab should be crished and given orally
give with finger or small amount of milk
not with bottle— dosing inaccurancies and meds affinity for plastic
TFT every 1-2 month first 6 month — goal FT4 upper half of the normal range and TSH normal range
causes of newborn hypothyroidism
- Thyroid dysgenesis ( mc in USA) — no goiter
- dyshormomigenesis - affects met step of hormone production— goiter +
- iodine def in mothers
cold panniculitis
rash caused by direct contact of the skin or muc to cold — local trauma
an erythematous plaque w/areas of indiration or bluish hue
appears sim
to cellulitis, but cool to touch+ no syst. sx
cold panniculitis Rx
reaasurance
self resolving after disc exposure to the cold
Narcolepsy
Rem sleep disorder 4 clinical features ar least 3 mo - excesaive sleepiness- cardinal - cataplexy - hypnagogic hallucinations - sleep paralysis core clinical feature hypersomnolence despite addquate and restorative nighttime sleep
