Hyperparathyroidism precaution interventions
Give this one a try later!
° Risk for fractures (use caution when moving patient)
> Use a lift sheet
Difficult thyroidectomy concerns/extended manipulation of thyroid would cause
what?
Give this one a try later!
, If the surgeon is taking longer poking at the thyroid gland, it could release
a surge of hormones causing hyperthyroidism symptoms post op (thyroid
storm- altered LOC, fever(risk for seizures), systolic hypertension,
abdominal pain, tremors.
Grave's Disease
Give this one a try later!
Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism and is an
autoimmune disorder involving antibodies (thyroid-stimulating
immunoglobulins) that bind to the thyroid gland, resulting in the
enlargement of the thyroid gland and subsequent hypersecretion of
thyroid hormone.
Primary Hypothyroidism Origin
Give this one a try later!
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common type of hypothyroidism and is
caused by an autoimmune response that leads to destruction of the thyroid
gland by immunological processes.
Hyperpituitarism treatments
Give this one a try later!
Decrease secretion
° Hormone and treating clinical manifestations
, ° Dopamine agonists
° somatostatin analogs and growth hormone receptor blockers
DM patient: address first?
Give this one a try later!
maximize glycemic control (goal <120)
Hypoparathyroidism is a risk factor for what other Thyroid disorder
Give this one a try later!
Pathophysiology: is secondary to removal of the parathyroid glands during
total thyroidectomy (treatment for hyperthyroidism/tumor)
risk factor: hyperthyroidism (thyroidectomy)
Hyperparathyroidism Priority Assessments
Give this one a try later!
Priority assessment
° Constipation, strain urine for calcium stones, monitor calcium levels
° Risk for fractures (use caution when moving patient)
> Use a lift sheet
posterior pituitary hormones
