Q

septic shock treatment

A
  1. Fluids: maintain CVP at 8-12 mm Hg
  2. Vasopressors: need to maintain MAP at > 65 mm Hg and cardiac index at 2-4 L/min
    a. Use norepinephrine 5-20 mcg/min- mainly alpha agonist/vasopressor
    b. If norepi fails, give epinephrine- beta agonist
    c. Can also consider vasopressin- potentiates norepinephrine

  • Azathioprine
  • IVIGs
  • IL-1 antagonists (anakinra)
32
Q

Pulsus paradoxus

A

Greater than 10 mm Hg drop in systolic pressure
decreased LV ejection during inspiration due to the high CVP
o Leads to increased RV filling with septal motion toward the LV
• Limits LV filling and LVEF
o Inflow across the mitral valve will decrease by 25%

33
Q

Please Dr. BECK, you PAY for the CT

A
  • Beck’s triad
  • Pulsus paradoxus
  • Electrical alterans
  • Slowed Y descent
  • Cardiac tamponade
34
Q

kussmaul sign

A

in constrictive pericarditis, the jugular engorges with inspiration.

usually should decrease in inspiration. indicates blood not going into the right atrium

35
Q

Sharp y

A

seen in constrictive pericarditis
• Tricupsid opens and blood rushes to get in
o Y is much sharper and shorter
o Blood slams into the ventricle due to so much pressure but then meets a steel wall and stops
• Get a sharp descent and then plateau

36
Q

Slow y descent

A

seen in cardiac tamponade
• Cardiac tamponade does not allow blood to come in because there is a bag of water around the heart. There is resistance for blood to leave the atrium
• Results in delayed filling → slow y descent

37
Q

38
Q

41
Q

diastolic pericardial knock

A

o Auscultation- like an S3 and “septal bounce” (ECHO) due to rapid early filling in diastole. Also shows decreased mitral inflow

seen in constrictive pericarditis

42
Q

square root sign

A

o On heart cath- rapid ventricular filling followed by a plateau phase during the rest of diastole
o Related to the rigid pericardium imparing mid and late diastolic filling resulting in decreased and equal diastolic filling pressures in all the cardiac chambers

seen in constrictive pericarditis

43
Q

Causes of constrictive pericarditis

A
  • TB
  • Post radiation
  • Cardiac surgery
  • Viruses
  • Trauma
44
Q

how to distinguish between constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy

A
  • The LV end diastolic pressure is unequal to the RV diastolic pressure – restrictive cardiomyopathy
  • Pressures are equal in constrictive pericarditis –square root sign
  • Also, pulmonary pressure is high in restrictive cardiomyopathy and low in constrictive pericarditis
