Question
Answer
Renal Failure - Manifestations   Polyuria, nocturia, fixed low specific gravity <1.010, oliguria (400-500cc/24hr), anuria (<100cc/24hr)  
🗑
Renal Failure - Labs   BUN (varies c meals); Creatinine (inc, GFR) (serum = funct of kidney; clearance = estimates GFR ~ 0.5-1.5); Protein urea screening (screening, dipstick)  
🗑
Normal Creatinine   0.5 - 1.5  
🗑
Normal BUN   8-21  
🗑
Normal GFR   >59  
🗑
Stages of Renal Failure - what to remember   dec renal reserve (watch meds); kidney insufficiency (watch diet); kidney failure (further interventions); ESRD (dialysis)  
🗑
Renal Failure - Medications   HTN (CCBs, BBs, ACEs, ARBs); Diuretics (Loop); Kayexalate; Anemia; dec phosphate intake; PhosLo, Renagel, Fosrenal, Calcitrol  
🗑
Renal Failure - Management   Tx CAD, diabetes, HTN; renal diet (dec phosphate intake (dairy, eggs, meat, fish), Na, K, fluid restrictions, inc cal from fat; skin care, medications, dialysis,  
🗑
Dialysis - Diffusion   particles move from an area of greater to lesser concentration across semipermeable membrane  
🗑
Dialysis - Osmosis   fluid moves from an area of lesser to greater conc. of particle across semipermeable membrane  
🗑
Peritoneal dialysis   Cath placement -> dialysate -> dwell time (fluid in ABD from 20min to 8hrs) -> fluid removal  
🗑
Intermittent peritoneal dialysis   several times/day c complete (no dialysate left in ABD) exchanges  
🗑
CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis)   always leave dialysate in ABD; done at home ~4x/day; may keep tubing in tact or d/c  
🗑
CCPD (continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis)/Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD)   always leave dialysate in ABD; MACHINE - cycles 3-5 cycles during the night; 1-2L in ABD left in during day  
🗑
Peritoneal Dialysis Advantages   fewer dietary restrictions (typically dbl. protein); inc mobility; insulin can be put in dialysate; fewer fluid shifts  
🗑
Peritoneal Dialysis Disadvantages   Peritonitis (tube in ABD -> risk for infection); not for obese, ABD surgery, hernia; may make back problems worse; may inc serum glucose/Trig levels  
🗑
Peritoneal Dialysis Complications   Peritonitis; obstructions; hypoTN; fluid/electrolyte imbalances; hernia; preforation of stomach/bladder; resp distress; muscle cramps  
🗑
Hemodialysis   Caths (temp); Ateriovenous (AV) fistula (forearm, thrill, 4-6wks to mature); Subq access device; machine (semipermeable membrane, dialysate, 1 unit at a time)  
🗑
Hemodialysis - Nursing Management   Pre-dialysis (assess include BP; hold meds unless checked c dialysis nurse); hypovolemia; DISEQUILIBRIUM SYNDROME (r/t rapid fluid change, cerebral edema (N/V, confusion, HA), slow or stop dialysis); check muscle cramps; post (sepsis, Hep C, bleeding)  
🗑
Stages of COPD - 1 et 2   1 (mild, min SOB, c/s cough et/or sputum, unrecognized, PFT >80%); 2 (mod, mod-severe SOBE, c/s cough/sputum/dyspnea, med attention, PFT 50-80%)  
🗑
Stages of COPD - 3 et 4   3 (severe, inc severe SOB, c/s cough/sputum/dyspnea, repeat exacerbations, dec QOL, dec exercise, inc fatigue, PFT 30-50%); 4 (very severe, further dec QOL r/t SOB, exacerbations life threatening, PFT <30% predicted or <50% c chronic resp failure)  
🗑
PFT (Pulmonary funct test) - Spirometry Tests - SEE BACK!!!   FVC (Forced vital capacity); FEV1 (forced expiratory vol in 1 sec); TV (tidal volume); Functional residual vol; Pulmonary diffusion capacity (means ability of gas to diffuse against the alveolar cap membrane)  
🗑
COPD stages determined by   spirometric classification  
🗑
Dyspnea Scale   0 least restricted -> 1 SOB c exercise -> 2 walk slower or stop for breath -> 3 stops p ~100m/few minutes -> 4 most restricted (too breathless to leave house/breathless during dressing)  
🗑
COPD - Nursing Care/Teaching   teach (meds, correct use, spacer, PO care, shake et prime, hold breath for 10 sec), report (resp infection, depression, sleep difficulties), flu vaccine, pneumovax, smoke cessation  
🗑
COPD - Medications   Anti-inflammatory; bronchodilators; mucolytics (mucomyst); aerosol therapy (albuterol, atrovent); theophylline (caffeine); combo agents  
🗑
COPD - Medications - Anti-Inflammatory agents   Coricosteroids - PO (Prednisone, prob c mod doses long time); IV (Solu-Medrol); Inhaled (Azmacort, Flovent)  
🗑
COPD - Medications - Brochodilators   Beta 2 Agonists (s inc HR, Epinephrine Beta1 inc HR et BP); Short-acting (Albuterol, Levalbuterol); Long-acting (Salmeterol, safety prob c corticosteroids); Anticholinergic (Atrovent - short; Spiriva - dry powder)  
🗑
Anticholinergic Effects   Know the ABCD'S (Anorexia, Blurry vision, Constipation/Confusion, Dry Mouth, Sedation/Stasis of urine)  
🗑
COPD - Medications - Combo agents   Combivent (Albuterol, Atrovent); Advair (Flovent - corticosteroid; serevent (long-acting beta agonist)  
🗑
COPD - complications   spontaneous pneumothorax (fragile lung tissue); Cor pulmonale (heart probs d/t lungs; pulmonary HTN R sided CHF; Low pO2 causes vasoconstriction -> pulmonary HTN; lead to R ventricular hypertrophy leads to cor pulmonale)  
🗑
Short Duration: Rapid Acting (Humalog, Novolog, Apidra)   onset 10-30min; peak 30min - 3hrs; duration 3-6.5hrs  
🗑
Short Duration: Slow Acting (Humulin)   onset 30-60min; peak 1-5hrs; duration 6-10hrs  
🗑
Intermediate Duration (NPH)   onset 1-2hrs; peak 6-14hrs; duration 16-24 hrs
