Study Notes
Shock Types and Causes
- Distributive shock can be caused by anaphylaxis.
- Cardiogenic shock results from dysrhythmia.
- Obstructive shock is associated with adrenal insufficiency.
- Plasma loss is not a cause of hemorrhagic shock.
Risk Factors for Infective Endocarditis
- Conditions that increase risk include patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
Hemodynamic Pressures in Mitral Stenosis
- Left atrial and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures will be increased in mitral stenosis.
Kawasaki's Disease Characteristics
- Key features include fever lasting more than 5 days unresponsive to antibiotics, rash, and oral mucosal changes.
Neurological Assessment Post-Head Injury
- The most critical aspect is monitoring the level of consciousness.
Metabolic Derangements in Renal Failure
- Potential issues include metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and hypocalcemia.
- Metabolic alkalosis is not typically associated with renal failure.
Care for Pheochromocytoma
- Initial nursing care involves close monitoring of vital signs, especially blood pressure.
Pediatric Respiratory Distress Case
- ABG reflects respiratory acidosis with severe hypoxemia due to inadequate venting.
Treatment for Hyperglycemia in a Child
- Anticipated treatment includes normal saline infusion and IV insulin.
Acute Tubular Necrosis Lab Abnormalities
- Expected lab findings include hyperkalemia, acidosis, and azotemia.
Pharmacological Management of Sepsis
- Primary management includes the administration of antibiotics.
Symptoms of Fluid Overload and Pulmonary Edema
- Early symptoms include increased respiratory rate and subjective dyspnea.
ECMO Contraindications
- Septic shock is not a contraindication for ECMO.
ET Administration of Medications
- Amiodarone cannot be administered via the endotracheal tube (ETT).
Inadequate Compressions During CPR
- An EtCO2 level of less than 5 mmHg indicates inadequate compressions during CPR.
