Term
why use bowel cleaning?
Definition
ingested medication is slow release
Term
what is not adsorbed by gastric lavage?
Definition
ionized compounds (cyanide, flouride, strong acids, strong bases)
Term
how to give bowel cleaning?
Definition
gloytel (electrolytes and polyethylene glycocol) or giving a cathartic such as magnesium citrate
Term
increase the rate of elimination of weak acid
Definition
raise ph
Term
increase the rate of elimination of a weak base
Definition
lower the pH
Term
use dialysis for
Definition
alcohols, ethylene glycol, lithium, salicylates (water-souble, minimally bund to plasma proteins, low molecular weight, long terminal kinetic phase)
Term
CO effect on Hb curve, other tissues
Definition
shift to the left (dispace oxygen, and also decrease oxygen release in peripheral tissues), also binds to mitochondiral cytochrome oxidase
Term
CO poisoning general effect
Definition
hypoxia, anaeobic metabolism, lactic acidosis
Term
ways to reduce CO half life in blood
Definition
increase FIO2 or give hyperbaric oxygen
Term
how to measure carbon monoxide posioning
Definition
measure caroxyhemoglobin in arterial blood sample. and patient is "cherry-red", despite hypoxia.
Term
treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning
Definition
remove, 100% O2, give pressor for hypotension, antidysrhythmic for cardiac arrythmias, and give barbituates to reduce electrical activity until seizuers stop and to minimize o2 requirement of the brain.
Term
lethal dose of aspirin
Definition
10-30g, or about 20-60 extra strength tablets
Term
symptoms of aspiring poisoning
Definition
CNS (headache, dizziness, mental confusion, tinnitus), or acid-base alterations, (hyperentialtion, vomiting).....then coma and seizures.
Term
what does aspirin actually do
Definition
uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation(increase in CO2), stim med ventilatory centers--->both cause hyperventiatlion, and respiratory alkalosis, with renal compensatory metabolic acidosis. BUT at higher doses, repress med vent center so get both resp and renal acidosis.
Term
how to treat aspirin overdose
Definition
adequate ventilation, correct acid-base, increase rate of aspirin secretion (raise pH), GIVE SODIUM BICARB, and ACTIVATED CHARCOAL, and DIALYSIS.
Term
fatal acetaminophen dose
Definition
10g, hepatic damage, 20g, fatal
Term
toxic metabolite of acetominophen
Definition
NAPQI (glutathione exhaustion)- increase in AAT, ALT (hepatitis) reduced clotting factors (reduced hepatic function)
Term
course of aceto poisoning
Definition
1st day, mild, nausea, vomiting. day 2, pain in right upper quadrant, then hepatic encephalopathy and death.
Term
course of aceto poisoning
Definition
1st day, mild, nausea, vomiting. day 2, pain in right upper quadrant, then hepatic encephalopathy and death.
Term
treatment of acetamin
Definition
give N-acetylcysteine (mucomyst)- and decrease gastrointestinal absorption. only within 36 hour window.
Term
cyanide poisoning mech
Definition
bind to cytochrome oxidases (so no ox. phosp- lactic acidosis)- 50mg in gas form, 200mg as KCN,
Term
first line CN therapy
Definition
amyl nitrite-convert hem from Fe2+ to Fe3+, so keep CN on the hem in blood, not cyt. oxidase enzymes.
Term
other CN thearpy
Definition
gastic lavage, sodium thiosulfate to help rohdanse converte CN to thioCNate, give, 100%O2, to remove CN from cyt. ox.
Term
methanol poisoning,
Definition
severe anion gap metabolic acidosis. decrease visual acuity, fized and dilated pupils, 15ml for blindness, 100ml for death.
Term
meth treatment
Definition
ethanol, dialysis, and sodium bicarbonate
Term
isopronanol
Definition
no carboxylic acid toxicity, gastric laveage, airway protection, and dialysis. 350ml of 70% will kill you
Term
two classes of pesticide
Definition
organophphates (inrrev. ACHEIs), carbamates (rapidly hydrolyzed and esterased ACHEIs)
Term
death to pesticides
Definition
potent muscarinic and nicotinic effects (pulmonary secretions, inadequate ventilation, seizures)
Term
waddup son?
Definition
nuttin
Term
how to treat pesticide overdose
Definition
a) remove from skin b) gastic lavage and charcoal for ingestion c) atropine in large and repeated doses to dry respiratory secretions, not increase HR, d) pralidoxime if nicotinic signs are evident.
Term
where to find lead
Definition
paint, gasoline, pipies, industrial metallurgy, fruits
Term
lead aborbtion
Definition
10% adults, 50% in children, hihgher when diet is deficient in oron, aclcium or zinc. , most ly bound to hem, then deposites in bone, 95% of lead burden is in bone. 30 year 1/2 life.
Term
lead symptoms adults
Definition

Term
lead effects on children
Definition
primarily CNS, poor grades, confusion, delirium, above 25mcg/dl use chelation.

Term
how to treat mercury poisoning
Definition
dimercaprol, penicillamine, succimer. CHLEATION
Term
arsenic posining mech
Definition
As5+ uncoupling ox. phos, and As3+ binds to sulhydril groups, no Krebs cycle
Term
arsenic poisoning symp
Definition
muscle weakesnss, aching, and skin pigmentation, garlic odor on breath, bile obstrction and cirrhosis of the mliver ,
