| What is "MURDER" for increased serum K? | M= Muscle Weakness, U= Urine, oliguria, anuria, R= Respiratory Distress, D= Decreased cardiac contractility, E= EKG changes, R= Reflexes, hyperreflexia, or areflexia (flaccid). |
| "MACHINE" signifies causes for increased serum K, what does it stand for? | M= Medications, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDS, A= Acidosis, Metabolic and Resp, C= cellular destruction, burns and traumatic injury. H= Hypoalderosteronism, hemolysis, I= Intake- excessive, N= Nephrons, renal failure, E= Excretion- impaired. |
| What does "CATS" of Hypocalcemia mean? Sx of hypocalcemia. | C= Convulsions, A= Arrhythmias, T= tetany, S= Spasms and stidor |
| Hypophosphatemia is phosphate deficiency, phosphate less than 2.0 mg/dl, what are causes? | Intestional malabsorption, severe resp alkalosis, a loack of phosphate interferes with O2 tx'ed by RBC and energy metabolism. increased secretion of phosphate. |
| Magnesium greateer than _____ is panic level. | 5 mg/dl is panic level, whereas, 1.8-3.0 magnesium level is normal. |
| Serum ______ goes down with Alkalosis. | potassium |
| If the body is alkalotic then the kidneys drop the _______ level and lungs release more ______. | kidneys will drop bicarbonate level, while the kidneys release more CO2. |
| Metabolic Acidosis is caused by 4 condiditons, what are they? | Severe, diarrhea, ketoacids, shock, impaired kidney function. |
| With Acidosis, what serum level will go up? | Potassium levels will go up |
| Metabolic Acidosis, is pH greater than? | greater than 7.45 |
| Metabolic Alkalosis, what are the serum levels and causes? | serum levels of potassium, calcium, and pH will be high. It is caused by loss of gastric fluids, diuretics,blood tx, bicarb from CPR, TPN. |
