Study Notes
Hematologic Disorders and Management Summary
- Hypernatremia treatment: 5 mEq/hr, glucose & Na monitoring, fluid deficit replacement
- Euvolemic hypernatremia treatment: Intranasal DDAVP or vasopressin for diabetes insipidus
- Hyponatremia considerations: Medication-related, isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic, hypervolemic types
- Lifespan considerations for sodium concerns: Hypernatremia associated with fever, dehydration, high-solute feedings
- Complications of hypernatremia: Cognitive dysfunction, seizures, coma, hypovolemic shock
- Reasons to hospitalize patients with altered sodium levels: Acute hyponatremia, acute-on-chronic hyponatremia, symptomatic hyponatremia
- Anemia types: IDA, Thalassemia, Aplastic anemia, Hemolytic anemia
- Management of common anemias: Oral iron for IDA, blood transfusion for Thalassemia, B12 injections for Macrocytic anemia
- Products affecting dietary iron absorption: Vitamin C, meat, poultry, fish (increase), calcium or magnesium, dairy, antacids, coffee, tea, bran, soy (decrease)
- Importance of history in coagulation disorder identification: Bleeding history elements, family history, quantifying bleeding, significance of bruising
- Current recommendations for thrombus prevention: Signs of bleeding or clot progression, diet, mobility, risk reduction counseling
- Pediatric hematologic disorders and treatments: IDA, thalassemia, lead poisoning, sickle cell disease, bleeding disorders, thrombophilia
