29
give the following for what ekg changes
calcium gluconate
magnesium sulfate
sodium bicarbonate
calcium gluconate - hyperkalemia... stabilizes cardiac membrane in hyperkalemia
magnesium sulfate - torsades from long qt
sodium bicarb - hypotension and qrs widening eg from anticholinergic side effects of tca overdose... also give after other emergent meds in hyperkalemia with widened qrs
30

thoracic esophageal perf - surgery
cervical esophageal perf - abx, conservative mgmt
31

pathophys
diagnose
treat
HIT (necrotic skin lesions at heparin injection sites)
heparin induces a confomational change in platelet surface protein Platelet Factor 4 that exposes a neoantigen tat the body can develop antibodies to (HIT antibodies) and cause platelet aggregation thrombosis and thrombocytopenia

- diagnosis
- pathophys
- how to tell from asthma/allergy exacerbation
- treatment
Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease
NON-IgE mediated PSEUDOAllergic drug reaction... from increased conversion of arachidonic acid to proinflammatory leukotrienes and decreased antiinflammatory prostaglandins by blocking cox1 cox2 and shunting arachidonic acid to 5lipoxygenase pathway
looks a lot like asthma/allergy exacerbation, just tie to within 3 hours of aspirin use which the patient might not naturally do
avoid aspirin/nsaids vs desensitize
use leukotriene receptor antagonist instead (Montelukast)

67
how does rotor's syndrome cause dark urine with urinary bili but not urobilinogen in urine
rotors is conjugated hyperbilirubinemia by impaired hepatic secretion of bilirubin. Conjugated bili is water Soluble so can be eliminated in Urine e.g. in rotors... but normally secreted into bile and feces then deconjugated for resorption with 5% loss as urobilinogen in feces and 1% loss as such in urine.... so will only see urobilinogen in urine if bili is getting into intestines and resorbed
