⬜ are 4 major triggers of vasooclusive crisis in Sickle Cell Disease patients
What is the treatment for vasooclusive crisis? (5)
_________________
Which med is used for long term management?
109DICK (Dehydration / Infection / Cold temp / [Kant breathe (hypoxia)])
_________________
acute tx = Rehydration / [abx and PAIN CONTROL (NSAID>opioids)] / heat / oxygen

Victims of [smoke inhalation injury] should empircally be treated for Carbon Monoxide and what other chemical toxicity?
________________
What are the treatments for these toxicities? (4)
CYanide toxicity (➜ SEVERE lactic acidosis)
________________
“CYaMonoxide toxicity Needs Overt Smoke Help”
empiric tx for CYanide and (Carbon)Monoxide toxicity
- [Nitrites (induces methemoglobinemia)]
- Oxygen 100% (CO tx)
- [Sodium thiosulfate]
- HydroxoCobalamin (binds Cyanide ➜ excretable Cyanocobalamin)

{{CYanide is released from [burning PLASTIC] or [NitroprussideRx]} | Tx = Hydroxocobalamin+/- Sodium thiosulfate}
Pulse Ox measures ⬜ which = ⬜
What does [PulseOx] read during methemoglobinemia?
________________
why?
**POSOSOP**
<sub>**P**ulse **O**x =</sub> **S**<sub>p</sub>**O**<sub>2 = </sub> [**S**aturation of **O**<sub>2</sub> on **P**ulsatile Peripheral arterial <sub>RBC</sub>]
* * *
**{low SpO2 < 85%}** = low **[**PulseOx<sup> </sup>S<sub>p</sub>O<sub>2_</sub>**RBC O2 Saturation**]<sub> </sub>\< 85%**}**
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
⚠️*NOTE*: Even though [PaO<sub>2</sub> *oxygen partial pressure*] may read "normal", methemoglobin has lower affinity to O2 than Hgb = Mgb low binding to O2 ➜ **low [RBC O2 saturation]** = **{low POSOROS** = **[**PulseOx<sup> </sup>S<sub>p</sub>*O<sub>2_</sub>**Saturation*]<sub> </sub>\< 85%**}**

## Footnote
[🔎SpO2 = Saturation of O2 on **P**ulsatile-Peripheral arterial RBC (via PulseOx)]
[ 🔎SaO2 = Saturation of O2 on **a**pulsatile (Non-pulsatile) arterial RBC(via ABG) <sub>= more accurate</sub>]
🫁<sub>**PaO2<sub>*ABG*</sub>** specifically refers to pressure solely exerted by dissolved oxygen in the arterial blood. It represents amount of oxygen actually dissolved in the plasma of arterial blood, rather than the amount that is bound to hemoglobin (which is reflected in measures like **SaO2<sub>*ABG*</sub>** or **SpO2<sub>*PulseOx*</sub>**).</sub>
Dark chocolate colored blood = ⬜
________________
MOA for tx? (3)
Methemoglobinemia
________________
1st: [NADPH gives electron to [METHYLENE BLUE] ]
2nd: this converts [METHYLENE BLUE] –> [LeukoMethylene blue]
3rd: [LM reduces Methomoglobin –> back to Hgb]
