Myasthenia Gravis | worsens with exercise and improves with rest |
Myasthenia Crisis | a positive reaction to Tensilon—-will improve symptoms |
Cholinergic Crisis | Caused by excessive medication. stop med. giving tensilon will make it worse. |
Head Injury medication | Mannitol (osmotic diuretic) crystallizes at room temp so alway use filter needle. |
prior to live biopsy | its important to be aware of lab results for the prothrombin time |
From the ass (diarrhea) | metabolic acidosis |
from the mouth (vomitis) | metabolic alkalosis |
Myxedema/Hypothyroidism | slowed physical and mental function, sensitivity to cold, dry skin and hair |
Graves disease/hyperthyroidism | accelerated physical and mental function; sensitivity to heat, fine/soft hair |
Thyroid storm | increased temp, pulse and HTN |
Post-thyroidectomy | semi-fowlers, prevent neck flexion/heperextension, trach at bedside |
Hypo-parathyroid | CATS - convulsions, arrhythmias, tetany, spasms, stridor (decreased calcium) hi Ca, low phosphours diet |
Hyper-parathyroid | fatigue, muscle weakness, renal calculi, back and joint pain (increased calcium) low Ca, high phosphorus diet. |
Diabetes Insipidus (decreased ADH) | excessive urine output and thirst, dehydration, weakness, administer Pitressin |
SIADH (increased ADH) | a change in LOC, decreased deep tendon reflexes, tachycardia, n/v/A, HA, administer Declomycin, diuretics |

hypernatremia | increased temp, weakness, disorientation/delusions, hypotension, absent tendon reflexes, sedative effect on CNS |
Hypocalcemia | CATS - convulsions, arrhythmias, depression, confusion, dysphagia, dig toxicity |
hypercalcemia | muscle weakness, lack of coordination, abdominal pain, confusion, absent tendon reflexes, sedative effect on CNS |
HypoMg | tremors, tetany seizures, dysrhythmias, depression, confusion, dysphagia, dig toxicity |
