Critical care - shock, sedation, respiratory support etc.

        Help!  

Question
Answer
normal MAP   70-100 mmHg  
🗑
significance of lactic acid levels in critical care   indicates hypoperfusion and the resultant anerobic metabolism.  
🗑
SVR in sepsis vs hypovolemic shock   will be low in sepsis and high in hypovolemic shock (compensatory mechanism)  
🗑
normal pH   7.4 (7.35-7.45)  
🗑
normal pCO2   35-45mmHg  
🗑
normal pO2   80-100 mmHg  
🗑
normal HCO3-   22-26 mEq/L  
🗑
Normal SaO2   95-100%  
🗑
metabolic acid base disorders are illustrated by changes in what blood gas measurement   HCO3-  
🗑
respiratory acid base disorders are illustrated by changes in what blood gas measurement   pCO2 - elevated when acidiv, decreased in alkalosis  
🗑
what is the compensatory mechanism for metabolic acid base disorders   respiratory acid base via slowing or increasing respiratory rate to alter pCO2. blow off CO2 to increase pH. or decrease pCO2. alternate is true to decreasing pH  
🗑
how does metabolic acid base compensate for underlying respiratory acid base   in kidneys by regulating excretion and reabsorption of HCO3 or excretion.  
🗑
MUDPILES   causes of anion gap metabolic acidosis: Methanol, Uremia, DKA, Propylene glycol, Intoxication/Infection, Lactic acidosis, Ethylene glycol, Salycilates/Sepsis  
🗑
F-USED CARS   causes of non-anion gap metabolic acidosis: Fistula, Uteroenteric conduits, saline excess, Endocrine, diarrhea, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, arginine/lysine/chlorine, renal tubular acidosis, spironolactone  
🗑
Hypovolemic shock - first line treatment   fluid resucitation. either blood, colloids or crystalloids. if still hypotensive may need pressor support but this wont work without adequate fluid replacement.  
🗑
protocol to achieve goals in pts with sepsis   fluid resuscitation to achieve HR, MAP and CVP goals. if SvO2 still not at goal may give more fluid. vasopressors to achieve MAP of 65+ if needed. place ART line rather than BP cuff for monitoring. if cardiac dysfunction may need inotropes  
🗑
Options other than phentolamine for extravasation.   nitroglycerin paste Q6H. or SQ terbutaline  
🗑
preferred vasopressors for septic shock   norepi is first line. can add vasopressin to achieve a pressor sparing effect. both are equivalent efficacy. phenylephrine if need BP support or tachyarrhythmias. dopamine no better than norepi and can cause arrhythmias.  
🗑
preferred inotropes for septic shock   milrinone and dobutamine but only if cardiac function is compromised or persistently low CO or MAP after adequate fluid resucitation.  
🗑
monitoring for propofol   triglycerides, BP, calories from IV lipid 10% 1 kcal/ml. S/sx of PRIS  
🗑
What is PRIS? what causes it and what are the symptoms.   Propofol related infusion syndrome. associated with infusion rates of >50mcg/kg/min. results in metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, kidney failure, cardiac arrest, bradycardia  
🗑
What sedatives should you avoid loading doses with   propofol and precedex. Precedex can use load in surgery though.  
🗑
infusion rate for precedex.   0.2-0.7 mcg/kg/hr but some evidence supports going up to 1.5  
🗑
what withdrawal symptoms are associated with precedex and when would they be likely to present?   nausea, vomiting, agitation. occur after prolonged use, 1 wk  
🗑
what tools can be used to assess patients for delerium   CAM-ICU and ICDSC  
🗑
drugs associated with delerium   benzos, opioids, anticholinergics  
🗑
drug used to treat delerium   haloperidol - but no evidence to support  
🗑
uses for paralytics in icu   intubated pts with persistent hypoxia despite adequate sedation and analgesia. control intracranial hypertension in pts with neurological injury from TBI  
🗑
risks with paralysis   bed sores and corneal ulcers, critical illness polyneuropathy, masks inadequate sedation and analgesia, masks seizure, inc risk for VTE  
🗑
critical illness polyneuropathy   prolonged muscle weakness or paralysis once paralytic is removed  
🗑
Train of four   a peripheral nerve stimulation tool. an awake and alert pt should have a TOF (4/4) and should get a baseline.  
🗑
electrolyte disorders that potentiate nerve blockers   hypermag, hypo calcemia, hypokalemia  
🗑
electrolyte disorders that antagonize nerve blockers   hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia  
🗑
drugs that potentiate nerve blockers   aminoglycosides, corticosteroids, clinda, tetracyclines, CCBs, Type Ia antiarrhythmics, lasix, Lithium  
🗑
drugs that antagonize nerve blockers   aminophylline and theophylline, CBZ, phenytoin.  
🗑
treatment target for glucose in the ICU   <180  
🗑
risk factors for stress ulcers that ALONE warranting drug therapy   respiratory failure with mechanical ventilation >48 hours, coagulopathy (plt<50,000; INR>1.5; aPTT>2xcontrol; )  
🗑
risk factors for stress ulcers that if two+ present warrants drugs   head or spinal cord injury, 35%+ burn, hypoperfusion, acute organ dysfunction, GI bleed in last year, high dose corticosteroid, liver failure with associated coagulopathy, postop transplant, AKI, major surgery, multiple trauma  
🗑
hypertensive urgency - time to controlled blood pressure   decrease BP over days  
🗑
key difference between hypertensive urgency and emergency   end organ damage  
🗑
what are the end organ complications that can occur with hypertensive emergency   encephalopathy, ICH, unstable angina/MI, acute decompensated heart failure, pulmonary edema, aortic dissection, retinopathy/papilledema, decreased urine output or acute renal failure, eclampsia  
🗑
goal BP drop and timing in hypertensive emergency   decrease DBP to 100-110 or decrease MAP by 25% within 30-60 minutes  
🗑
drugs of choice for hypertensive emergency - tailored by disease state   CHF - NTG or ACEi with diuretics; intracranial hemorrhage - labetalol or nicardipine; MI - beta blocker and nitrate; acute renal failure - nicardipine, clevidipine or fenoldopam; ecclampsia - hydralazine, labetalol or nicardipine.  
🗑
warfarin INR goal in patients with PAH for precention of catheter thrombosis and VTE   1.5-2.5  
🗑
