23
Q

Mannitol for increased ICP

A

Requires intact BBB ——> cerebral edema

24
Q

Mannitol side effects

A

-Precipitate pulmonary edema

-Hypovolemia, electrolyte disturbances, plasma hyperosmolarity d/t water and NaCl secretion

25
Q

Increased B.U.N. after administration of UREA should _______ be confused with acute renal failure

A

NOT

26
Q

Loop Diuretics MOA

A

Inhibits Na and Cl reabsorption in the Ascending loop and to a lesser extent in the proximal tubule

27
Q

Loop Diuretics main points

A

-loss of Na and Water
-HYPOkalemic metabolic ALKOLOSIS
-increased Ca++ loss

28
Q

Loop diuretics will make you lose which electrolytes

A

Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++, Mg++

29
Q

Most Agressive Diuretics?

A

LOOP Diuretics

30
Q

Furosemide-induced increases in RBF are inhibited by _______ and ________.

A

NSAIDs AND ASA

INCREASE loop diuretic induced kidney failure

31
Q

LOOPS: clinical uses

A

Mobilization of edema fluid due to renal, hepatic, or cardiac dysfunction

Treatment of increased ICP

Treatment of hypercalcemia

Differential diagnosis of acute oliguria

32
Q

ICP decreased by what with loop diuretics.

A

Systemic diuresis
Decreasing CSF production by interfering with Na transport in glial tissue
Resolving cerebral edema by improving cellular water transport

33
Q

Compared to Mannitol, Furosemide:

A

-Not as effective in decreasing ICP

-Immediate or subsequent effects of furosemide on ICP not affected by alterations in BBB

34
Q

Loop Diuretics fluid and electrolyte abnormalities

A

Hypokalemia
Hypochloremia
Hyponatremia
Hypomagnesemia
Metabolic alkalosis

35
Q

If electrolytes not replaced, will lose electrolyte induced water gradient

A

Acute Tolerance (Braking Phenomenon)

36
Q

Loop Diuretics: Side Effects

A

-Deafness
-Cross-sensitivity (SULFAS!!!!)

Higher risk with bolus doses – dose related
Ethacrynic acid does not have sulfa component

37
Q

Thiazide Diuretics MOA:

A

MOA: Compete for the Na-Cl cotransporter in the distal tubule to inhibit reabsorption. Inhibit only urinary diluting capacity, not concentrating capacity.

38
Q

Thiazides Main Points:

A

-Loss of Na & Water
-HYPOkalemic metabolic ALKOLOSIS
-INCREASED Ca++ Reabsorption

Q

K Sparing: Increased risk of hyperkalemia in patients also taking other drugs associated with increased plasma K concentrations

A

NSAIDs
Ace inhibitors (i.e. lisinopril)
