ITE block 5 Flashcards
Interval data
data has order, difference b/w values is meaningful
NO true zero exists
ex: temperature, pH
nominal data
categories w/ no order
gender, race, blood type
ordinal data
order exists, but the difference between values is not meaningful
ex: mallampati, numerical pain score
ratio data
order exists, difference between values is meaningful
TRUE zero does exist
ex: kelvin, weight, length
which types of data are categorical?
nominal, ordinal
they both kinda ordinary sounding
what types of data are numerical?
ratio, interval
ratio has a O -> so it has a true zero, interval does not
primary method of heat production in neonates
nonshivering thermogeneies
-metabolism of brown fat (uncouples oxidate phosphorylation)
Pt found down after drowning, what do you to?
always give PPV FIRST, no compressions
-b/c hypoxic so if you do compressions just moving hypoxic blood -> often oxygen from 2 breaths a start to ROSC
-also helps tx any larnygospasm

Where does majority of cholesterol biosynthesis occur
Cytosol of hepatic cells from precursor acetyl CoA (enzyme is HMG-CoA reductase)
-why statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) prescribed to people w/ poorly controlled lipid levels
Insulin actions
-inc glucose transport into skeletal muscle and adipose tissues
inc glycogen sytnhesis and storage
inc TG synthesis
inc protein synthesis
dec glucagon release
dec lipolysis in adipose tissue
Stress resp to surgery
GH inc lipolysis and inhibits cellular glucose uptake
-surgical stress -> insulin def 2/2 opposing hormones and stress-induced insulin resistance to inc glucose available for body
neuraxial blockade and stress response
-red conc of catabolic mediators: cortisol, catecholamines
-NOT been shown to prevent secretion of cytokines pro-inflammatory: IL-2, TNF alpha, and IL 6
Implants contraindicated in MRI
cerebral aneurysm clips
ICDs
pain pumps
cochlear implants
peripheral n stimulators
any ferromagnetic-containing metal objects
Okay for MRI
spinal herrington rods
heart valve prothesis
annuloplasty rings
newer pacemakers
-okay if metal is non-ferromagnetic: Aluminum, titanium, nitinol, or stainless steel
Quenching of magnet in mRI results in for pt
massive high pressure -> if door stuck, break glass
rupture of tympanic membranes
evaluate for asphyxia and hypothermia
Therapeutic levels of Mg for preeclampsia
5-9
SE based on Mg level
> 5: deep tendon reflexes reduced
7: muscle weakness and resp depression
7-12: hypoTN
12: DTR lost, cardiac conduction abnormalities may be seen
15-20: respiratory arrest
25: asystole
Non-reassuring airway signs
-relatively long incisors
-prominent “overbite”
-pt can’t bring mandibular incisors anterior to maxillary incisors
-less than 3 cm interincisor distance
-uvula not visible when tongue protruded
-highly arched or very narrow palate
-mandibular space stiff, indurated, or has a mass
-less than 3 finger breadth
Mechanism for bradycardia that occurs w/ neonatal apnea
hypoxic stimulation of carotid chemoreceptors -> leads to inc in ventilation followed by brief apnea (hypoxic ventilatory depression)
Most important RF for apnea postop in neonates
premature birth! post-conceptual age
-highest risk: < 40 weeks PCA
-decreases b/w 40-50 weeks
-gradually declines b/w 60 weeks
Ways to dec incidence of postop apnea in neonates if risk is high
-bolus of caffeine (shown to dec incidence)
-using neuraxial techniques
-limiting opioids
Resuscitation after drowning
no pulse -> give 2 rescue breaths -> if nothing then compressions
-give it 1 min to find pulse if hypothermia b/c can have arrythmias assoc w/ it
RF that would make an invasive cardiac procedure better as opposed to medical management
-recurrent angina or ischemia at rest or w/ low level activities despite medical therapy (unstable angina)
-elevated cardiac biomarkers
-New ST depression
-signs of symp of HR or new/worsening MR
-hemodynamic instability
-sustained V tach
-PCI w/i 6 months
-prior CABG
-high risk TIMI score ( >2 points)
-red EF < 40%
