RPR or VDRL

then darkfield

108
Q

ESRD new fistula, what are the complications you need to think of?

A

Thrombosis of graft- US
bleeding- topical TXA, figure of 8, pressure, gelatin spognes or oturniquet before and after site
Steal syndorme- arterila blood shunted to venous (poor helaing and ischemia
Hypotension right after session- voleume down before
still think sepsis, MI, PE shock
HA, AMS, HTN!, right after dialysis = disequilbirium syndrome High solute removal during dialysis will cause lower osmolality in the blood compared to the brain, resulting in fluid shifting and subsequent cerebral edema… give mannitol (also look at ICH and lytes)

109
Q

recurrent anpahylaxis, Dx and TX

A

C1 esterase FFP (contasins C1 inhibtior)
lips toungue (spiekd on the side) but nonpurutis edema
