    Study Notes

    Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

    • STIs are infectious diseases spread through sexual contact with the penis, vagina, anus, mouth, or sexual fluids of an infected person
    • Types of STIs:
      • Bacterial: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydial
      • Viral: genital herpes, genital warts, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, hepatitis B and C
      • Parasitic/Protozoan Infection: trichomoniasis

    Syphilis

    • Caused by Treponema pallidum bacterium
    • Transmission: direct contact with a syphilitic ulcer (chancre)
    • Can be transmitted to the fetus
    • Can cause irreversible damage to skin, bone, and liver, and heart problems and neuro problems if it invades corresponding areas
    • Stages:
      • Primary: highly infectious, development of chancre
      • Secondary: highly infectious, a few weeks after chancre heals, maculopapular rash on hands/feet, flu-like symptoms
      • Latent: lasts throughout life, asymptomatic
      • Late: non-infectious, organ damage, personality changes, heart valve issues, gummas (destructive lesions)
    • Diagnosis: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) and Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) tests, confirmed by fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTAAbs) test
    • Treatment: Penicillin G benzathine

    Gonorrhea

    • Caused by Neisseria gonorrhea bacterium
    • Diagnosis: Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) urine test
    • Treatment: IM ceftriaxone with oral Azithromycin
    • Complications: disseminated gonococcal infection, neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis

    Chlamydia

    • Most common reportable STI
    • Often poorly managed, inaccurately diagnosed, or undiagnosed until complications occur
    • Diagnosis: NAAT urine test
    • Treatment: Azithromycin or Doxycycline
    • Complications: infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

    Trichomoniasis

    • Parasitic infection
    • Transmission: through sexual fluids
    • Diagnosis: NAAT test, cultures
    • Treatment: Metronidazole (Flagyl) or Tinidazole (Tindamax)
    • Complications: inflammatory reaction, increased risk of HIV transmission

    Genital Herpes

    • Caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 or 2
    • Transmission: contact with infected person
    • Viral reactivation occurs when virus goes back to initial site of infection
    • Diagnosis: culture of lesions
    • Treatment: Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir
    • Complications: asymptomatic viral shedding, transmission during asymptomatic periods### Shock
    • Inadequate tissue perfusion leading to cellular, organ, and organ system death
    • Causes: problem with the pump, problem with the tubes, or problem with oxygen delivery
    • Reversible if caught in time

    Types of Shock

    • Cardiogenic: 16% of shock cases, occurs when systolic or diastolic dysfunction of the heart's pumping action results in reduced cardiac output, stroke volume, and blood pressure
    • Hypovolemic: 16% of shock cases, absolute or relative hypovolemia, external loss of whole blood or other body fluids, or fluid shifts
    • Distributive: 66% of shock cases, includes neurogenic, anaphylactic, and septic shock
    • Obstructive: 2% of shock cases, physical obstruction impedes the filling or outflow of blood, resulting in reduced cardiac output

    Distributive Shock

    • Neurogenic: hemodynamic consequence of spinal cord injury and/or disease at or above T5, spinal anesthesia, vasomotor center depression, severe pain, drugs, hypoglycemia, or injury
    • Anaphylactic: hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) to contrast media, blood/blood products, drugs, insect bites, or anesthetic agents
    • Septic: infection, pneumonia, peritonitis, urinary tract, respiratory tract, or invasive lines, at risk patients include older adults, children < 12 months, patients with chronic diseases, patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, malnourished, diabetes mellitus, and debilitated patients

    Clinical Manifestations of Shock

    • Cardiovascular: decreased cardiac output, decreased CVP and PAOP, decreased SVR, decreased venous oxygen saturation (SvO2 or ScvO2), hypotension and bradycardia or tachycardia
    • Pulmonary: tachypnea, dyspnea, and crackles
    • Renal: decreased urine output, increased BUN and creatinine
    • Skin: cool, clammy, and pale
    • Neurologic: altered mental status, anxiety, and confusion
    • Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain

    Diagnostic Findings

    • CBC-D: decreased hematocrit and hemoglobin, increased lactate
    • Electrolytes: changes, hypovolemic/hemorrhagic shock
    • Septic shock: increased WBC, decreased platelets, increased lactate (2.0-4.0 mmol/L)

    Collaborative Care

    • Identification of patients at risk for developing shock
    • Integration of patient's history, physical examination, and clinical findings to establish a diagnosis
    • Interventions to control or eliminate the cause of the decreased perfusion
    • Provision of multisystem supportive care

    Resuscitation

    • Targeted to normalize lactic acid, increased blood glucose, increased urine specific gravity, decreased urine NA+, and positive blood cultures
    • Interventions include oxygen and ventilation, fluid resuscitation, and drug therapy

    Stages of Shock

    • Initial: occurs at the cellular level, no clinical signs, lactic acid is a waste product that is removed by the liver, but this process requires oxygen
    • Compensatory: body activates neural, hormonal, and biochemical compensatory mechanisms to overcome the increasing consequences of anaerobic metabolism and maintain homeostasis
    • Progressive: begins as the compensatory mechanisms fail, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
    • Irreversible (refractory): multiple organ failure occurs, and death is imminent
