Exam things to note/review: Hypothyroid - can cause myopathy, see elevated CK -sxs: fatigue, weight loss, proximal muscle

weakness, may also see inc DTRs and a tremor (action tremor) Chronic hepatitis - to evaluate extent of damage need a liver bx Allergic rhinitis- see nasal eosinophillia, need to get a NASAL swab Marfan's see MR and MVP, also AR if threat of aortic dissection Hyper PTH- need to get a sestamibi scan Parkinsons- hypokinetic gait Mechanical ventilation! GO OVER IN DETAIL Hypoxemia- treat by increasing PEEP or by increasing FiO2 , measured through pO2 Note: Increasing FiO2 beyond 50-60% is contraindicated due to risk of O2 toxicity Tidal volume- inc would inc MV and peak inspiratory pressure (can worsen respiratory alkalosis) judge by looking at pCO2 RR- judge adequacy by looking at the pCO2 (if low then ok) Respiratory quotient = CO2/O2 -used to wean ppl off ventilator and to determine if overfeeding (if over feeding with carbs then there is an increase in CO2) -if close to 1, then carbs are major nutrient oxidized- net lipogenesis occuring -0.8 protein -0.7 fatty acids Antiarrhythmic drugsWPW- Digoxin, verapamil and adenosine contraindicated bc they favor conduction across accessory pathway -should use procainamide, or cardiovert when they develop a rapid ventricular rhythm Class 1c blocks Na channels Note: Flecainide prolong QRS Flow volume loopsNormal- (insert image)

Obstructive lung dzInspiratory- nl Expiratory concave shaped Restrictive lung dzInspiratory nl shape but shortened Expiratory- nl shape but shortened Laryngeal edemaInspiratory- fixed flat line Expiratory- fixed flat line Membranous GN can develop a renal vein thrombosis (abd pain, fever, hematuria) SAAG- ascites albumin - serum albumin (if >1.1 indicates a transudate) -Transudative process e.g. portal hypertension Infxn with Echinococcus (dogs)- can develop hydatid cysts unilocular lesion with egg shell calcifications -txt: DO NOT aspirate, instead surgical resection indicated + albendazole Succinylcholine releases K therefore CONTRAINDICATED in ppl with hyperK Intracranial pressure: Cerebral blood flow dysregulated in trauma and stroke -increased flow -increased cerebral vasodilation and elevated BP raises the ICP To lower ICP: Intervention Head elevation Sedation IV mannitol Hyperventilation Mechanism Increased venous outflow from head Decreased metabolic demand and control of HTN Extraction of free water out of brain tissue osmotic diuresis CO2 washout, leading to cerebral vasoconstriction
