ITE TL Block 3 Flashcards
Hydrophilic v hydrophobic opioids used in CSF
hydrophilic = easier absorption -> shorter duration faster onset ex: fent, sufent
hydrophobic = harder absorption -> longer duration, slower onset, and greater migration in CSF
ex: morphine, Dilaudid, meperidine
octanol/H2O partition coefficient
lipid solubility of opioids
-higher = more lipid solubility
first line therapy for pulm atresia w/ intact ventricular septum
Prostaglandin E1 -> keep the PDA open
Medication for PDA closure
Indomethacin
Most significant source of heat loss from body
Radiation
-heat from body travels to vasodilated surface capillaries
a pt status post tonic-clonic sz has a dec RR and is hypoxemic why
central resp depression so dec RR -> build up of CO2 -> inc partial P of CO2 -> inc arterial CO2 tension in alveoli -> cant effectively exchange gas in alveoli -> dec O2
Alveolar gas equation
PAO2 = FiO2 x (Patm - PH2O) - (PaCO2/R)
R: respiratory quotient
Status epilepticus
> 5 minutes of continuous sz activity or >2 consecutive sz w/o intervening recovery of consciousness
When using the term nitrogen handling in setting of liver damage what does that mean
metabolism of nitrogenous wastes, mainly ammonia
-if active GI bleed and breakdown and absorption of amino acids from Hg -> inc ammonia -> can overwhelm a cirrhotic liver to eliminate N compounds -> worsening hepatic encephalopathy
Tx for hepatic encephalopathy
Lactulose: laxative that prevents absorption of ammonia
Rifaximin: abx w/ bactericidal activity against ammonia-generating organisms in gut
25 YOM larygnospasm then in PACU 85-90% on room air w/ well controlled pain and normal RR why?
negative pressure pulm edema
-b/l fluffy infiltrates on xray
-tx: supportive w/ suppl O2, diuresis and PPV if severe
What causes overdamping in an art line
Factors that inc compliance or resistsance in circuit
-adding stopcocks, air bubbles or pliable tubing
-causing systolic BP to be lower than it actually is
Underdamping
-tubing should have a very high natural frequency -> if too low, resonance of the system will add to the pressure form -> underdamping
Controlled hypootension
MAP of 50-65 or 20-30% below baseline
-used for certain surgeries incl cranial aneurysm repair but risks must b econsidered
-done w/ CCB, direct vasodilators, BB and anesthesia
Renal test most reliable indicator of acute renal failure
Cr conc inc >100% from baseline
What causes artifical inc in BUN
reduced effective circulating blood volume
catabolic state: GI bleeding, steroid use
high protein diet
tetracycline use
Decrease in BUN
liver dx
malnutrition
sickle cell anemia
SIADH
If you give 2L NS what labs change immediately after
hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
-bicarb dec
-Na inc
-K inc
dilutional dec in Hct and albumin
labs in hyperosmolar hyperglycemia
high glucose
low K
no acidosis
-osmotic diuresis due to elevated glucose
TURP blurred vision and minimally reactive pupils, whichh irrigation solution
glycine
(amino acid and Neurotransmitter)
-large amounts metabolized to ammonia
TURP with hyperglycemia, whichh irrigation solution
Mannitol
Lytes intracellular v extracellular
Majority of K is intracellular (157), so is Mg (20) comparatively
The other ions Cl, bicarb, Ca, Na higher extracellularly
Hyperk EKG changes
peaked T waves, prolonged PR interval and widened QRS
Rhabdo complications
DIC -> inc PTT, dec fibrinogen, dec plts
AKI (ATN from myoglobin)
Arrhythmias: hyperK
