Cards

Term

What is the diagnostic criteria for Hypoglycemia

Definition
blood suger < 50 or rapid deciline when glucose is high
Term
What are the S/S of Hypoglycemia
Definition

rapid onset HA, change in LOC, uncordinated, 

 

stress response- realse of catacholamines- shaking, cold and clammy, tachycardia

Term

What is Cardio-metabolic Syndrome 

Endocrine component

Definition

also called prediabetes

 

pt have hyperlipademia, obesity, insulin resistances

Term

What is Cardio-metabolic Syndrome

Cardiac component

Definition
HTN, pro-inflamitory, pro-thrombotic
Term
 What are the risk factors of Cardio-metabolic Syndrome
Definition

obesity-waist circumference > 35

dyslipidemia

HTN- >130/85

pro-throbotic- ↑ fibrinogen

pro-inflammatory- ↑ C reactive proteins

Term
What types of pts get DKA
Definition
Type 1 diabetics
Term
What are the S/S of DKA
Definition

fast onset

serum glucose 300-500

urine + for ketones

serum osmolarity < 340 normal

anion gap- + (>17)- r/t lactic acidosis

chang in LOC

somulent

fast deep breathing

Term
What is DKA caused by?
Definition

inadaquate glucose control

insuline, diet, or exercise imbalance

or

secondary to illness

Term
What type of pts get HHNS (Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Non-ketonic Syndrome)
Definition

Type 2 diabetics

 

 

Term
What are the S/S of HHNS (Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Non-ketonic Syndrome)
Definition

develops over days

glucose > 700

ketones are neg

serum osmolarity >340 high

Anion gap neg (<17)

Term
What si HHNS (Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Non-ketonic Syndrome) caused by
Definition

indaquate glucose control

meds diet 

secondary to illness

Term
What is the number 1 reason a diabetic pt will lose control of their blood sugar?
Definition
infection
Term
How does the stress response effect blood sugar?
Definition

catacholamines -inhibit insuline secretion

cortisol- increases gluconeeogensis

proinflammatory cytokines- increase insulin resistance

 

Term
What medications can elevate blood sugar
Definition

glucocrticoids

sympathomimetics

Ca blockers

phenytion

Term
What are the two goals of treating hyperglycemia?
Definition
hydrate, decrease glucose
Term
How should a pt with hyperglycemia be hydrated?
Definition

give 100 CC/Kg

1/2 of that given in 8 hrs

moniter for fluid overload

Term
How should you decrease a pts glucose who has hyperglycemia
Definition

USE IV only (regular)

no > 20 units IV bolus

goal to decrease 50-75mg/dl/hr

 

Never more then 100mg/dl in one hour!!!!!!

Term
What complictions can arise if glucose falls faster then 100mg/hr
Definition
cerebral edema and electrolyte imbalances
Term
in a pt that is critacaly ill where do you want their blood sugar to be?
Definition
80-139
Term
What benifists do pts recive from having tighter BS peramiters in the ICU 
Definition

decrease size of MI

low risk of infection

decreased mortality rates in cardio pts

Term
What is a normal GFR
Definition
120cc/min=100%
Term
What will the GFR be in renal insufficincy
Definition
30cc/min=25%
Term
What will the GFR be in renal failure
Definition
12-30cc/min = 10-25%
Term
What will the GFR be in ESRD
Definition
<12 cc/min= < 10%
Term
What are the causes of pre-renal failure
Definition

Hypotension, hypovolemia,

stricture or CA of renal artery

Term
What are the common cause of intr-renal failure
Definition

infection or ischemia

acute tubler nicrosis

nephrotoxic drugs

 

Term
What are the common cause of post-renal failure
Definition

urinary obstruction

tummers

stones

 

Term
What are the four stages of ARF
Definition

onset

oliguric/anuric

diuretic

convalescent

Term

 

What happens at onset

Definition

initial injury up 48 hours pt appears acutely ill

will have symtomes r/t the cause of ARF

Term
What is the oliguric/anuric phase?
Definition

may continue up to 2 weeks 

pt producese < 400cc/24 hr

the most damage can happen in this fase, try to move the pt quickly throught this phase

Term
What is the diurtic phase
Definition

may continue for upi to 4 weeks

pt produces large amounts of poor quality urin

looks diluted

BUN/Creat- stabilize → normalize

 

Term
What is the convalescent phase
Definition

may continue for up to one year

output is normal 

all labs may be normal- but still may only have 10% of function

Term
What is a significant weight change in a pt with ARF
Definition

1 kg

1kg=1L of fluid

Term
What is the best lab to assess kidney function?
Definition

Creatinine

 

most sensitive

Term
What are the normal ranges of Serum Creatinine for men and women
Definition

men- 0.5-1.5

women- 0.6-1.2

Term
What is the normal range for the BUN
Definition
7-25
Term
What electrolytes are elivated in ARF
Definition
K+, PO4, MG++
Term
What electrolytes are decreased in ARF
Definition
Ca++, HCO3
Term
What is the prefeared form of dialysis?
Definition
hemodialysis
Term
What type of pt need CRRT
Definition
hemodynamically unstable pts
Term
What are the advantages of CRRT
Definition
it is driven by the pts own BP will not make the pt unstable
Term
What are the disadvantages of CRRT
Definition

pts need more antiquagulents- risk of bleeding

have to be hooked up 24/7
