Q

What does A-a gradient measure

A

PAO2 - PzO2

Measures oxygen transfer from alveoli to blood

22

A

< 15

23

Causes of hypoxemia

A
Reduced inspired oxygen tension
Hypoventilation
Diffusion limitation 
Shunt
V/Q mismatch
24
Q

What is the most common presentation of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PH)

A

Asymptomatic 80%

25
Q

How to differentiate PH from familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia

A

24-hour urinary calcium
> 250 = PH
< 100 = Familial

26
Q

TX for Asymptomatic PH

A

Surgery (parathyroidectomy) if 1+

  1. Serum Calcium >1mg/dL above upper limit
  2. Young < 50yoa
  3. BMD < -2.5 any site
  4. Reduced Renal Fnc (GFR < 50mL/min)
27
Q

When is bisphosphonates the TX in PH

A
  1. Refuse surgery

2. Hx of oxteopenia/osteoporosis

28
Q

Presentation of hypercalcemia in malignancy (labs)

A

Low PTH

mod-severe Hypercalcemia = > 13

29
Q

Presentation and pathophys of hypercalcemia due to immobilization

A

Immobilized pt
Pre-existing high bone turnover
Median onset - 4 wks
High bone turnover = increased osteoclastic activation

30
Q

TX for hypercalcemia due to immobilization

A
  1. Hydration

2. Bisphosphonates

31
Q

Presentation of Ehrlichiosis

A

No. CDC recommends agasint it

37
Q

TX for influenza

A
Oseltamivir, Zanamivir (NA inhibitor)
- If pt presents w/in 48 hrs of onset
OR
- sx's not improving or high risk

  2. Analgesics
  3. Topical Abx and wound dressing
  4. Monitor for signs of healing
  5. Doppler US for peripheral pulses and compartment pressure
    - 25-40 = threshold for escharotomy
