what happens to O2 curve in alkalosis
decreased body temp, increased HbF shfit to left
what happens to O2 curve in acidosis
increased body temp
high altitude
exercise shift curve to right
what is a left shift fo O2 curve
increased Hb affinity
what is a right shift O2 curve
decreased affinity for O2. easier off loading
immediate Tx for CO poisoning
100% O2 mask
signs CO poisoning
mental status changes, cherry red lips, hypoxia despite normal pulse ox readings
causes of microcytic acnemia
iron deficiency lead poisoning chronic disease sideroblastic thalassemias
causes of normocytic anemia
hemolytic
chronic disease
hypovolemia
causes of macrocytic anemia
folate def
vit B12 def
liver disease
alcohol abuse
signs of hemolytic anemia
brown urine
HSM
jaundice
labs in hemolytic anemia
decrease Hb and Hct
increased reticulocyte count from turnover
increased bilirubin (indirect) from lysis
increased LDH
normal MCV!!!!
decreased serum haptoglobin
most common form anemia
iron deficiency
Coombs direct test
Coombs reagant mixed with RBC. if agglutinates then IgG and c’ are present (warm and cold agglutinins.
Coombs indirect test
patient serum mixed with type O RBCs
then mixed with coombs reagant
if agglutinate– anti-RBC Ab in serum
Rh alloimmunization
schistocytes
seen in hemolytic anemia
RBC fragments
angular cheilitis
irritaiton of lips and corners of mouth
blood smear shows burr ceslls and schistocytes
Drug induced hemolytic anemia
wha drugs cause hemolytic anemia
penicillin, methyldopa
quinidine
warm reacting Ab are what
IgG
cold reacting Ab are what
IgM
Tx immune hemolytic anemia
corticosteroids
Coombs test is + when
drug induced hemolytic anemia and immune
finding in hereditary spherocytosis
HSM
Tx hereditary spherocytosis
splenectomy
