Untitled Deck 2 Flashcards
Common drugs causing malignant hyperthermia?
halothane, suxamethonium, antipsychotics
Mx of malignant hyperthermia?
dantrolene
Massive transfusion complications?
hypothermia, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, coagulopathy, TRLI
Hypocalcemia in massive transfusion?
FFP and platelets contain citrate anticoagulant which chelates calcium
Midazolam?
short acting benzodiazepine, used for procedural sedation
1st line pain treatment in trigeminal neuralgia?
carbamazepine
1st line pain treatment in diabetic neuropathy?
duloxetine
SOFA score?
scores the severity of sepsis
SOFA score components?
O2%, platelets, bilirubin, GCS, urine output, creatinine, MAP/dopamine/epinephrine
quickSOFA?
GCS<15, RR>22, SBP<100
Non absorbable sutures?
nylon, polypropylene (prolene), polyester (ethibond)
Sensitivity?
proportion of true positives identified by a test
Specificity?
proportion of true negatives correctly identified by a test
Positive predictive value?
proportion of those who have a positive test who actually have the disease
Negative predictive value?
proportion of those who test negative who do not have the disease
Predictive values are dependent on?
the prevalence
Likelihood ratio for a positive test result?
= sensitivity/(1-specificity)
Likelihood ratio for a negative test result?
=(1-sensitivity)/specificity
EER?
rate at which events occur in the experimental group
CER?
rate at which events occur in the control group
Relative risk?
relative risk = EER / CER
RRR?
RRR = (EER - CER) / CER ; calculated by dividing the absolute risk change by the control event rate
Parkland formula?
volume of fluid= total body surface area of the burn % x weight (Kg) x2-4. Half of the fluid in the first 8 hours
A sudden anemia and a LOW reticulocyte count?
indicates parvovirus
