Q

Hypocalcemia/parasthesias after a blood transfusion? How?

A

Citrate is an anti-coagulant thats mixed into blood transfusions prior to storage.

  • Citrate can chelate calcium and cause hypocalcemia.
  • usually after a massive transfusion.

Q

Neurogenic bladder vs urinary retention

A
  • Neurogenic bladder - you cant control your pee, so you give them a muscarinic antagonist so they dont pee themselves.
  • Urinary retention following surgery - they cant pee, so you give them a muscarinic agonist so they can pee.

Q

Aspirin poisoning

-order of events

A

1) acute respiratory alkalosis b/c aspirin stimulates respiratory center to hyperventilate.
2) few hours later, metabolic acidosis.

A

-dystrophic.

51
Q

Metastatic calcification:

  • in which tissues most often?
  • why?
A
  • Gastric, renal, lungs
  • these tissues lose acid quickly. Alkaline environment favors deposition of calcium.
  • ALP released by osteoblasts makes alkaline environment and then lays down bone.
