Neuropathic pain
Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain syndromes




ARDs


Give this one a try later!

, acute respiratory distress syndrome
respiratory failure
most commonly associated with septic shock
refractory hypoxemia
decreased pulmonary compliance
pulmonary edema
mortality 60-90%
tissue ischemia
-inflammatory response
--exudate in interstitial space
--alveolar collapse [atelectasis]




increased intracranial pressure etiology


Give this one a try later!


pressure exerted by contents of the cranium
normal is 0-15 mm Hg
common causes of increased ICP: stroke, trauma, tumors
volume of the cranium is made of: CSF, blood, and brain tissue.
compliance is the ability to accommodate changes in volume without
significant increases in pressure




obstructive shock manifestations/treatment


Give this one a try later!


right sided heart failure
pulmonary embolism
-sudden, severe dyspnea
-abnormal ABG
cardiac tamponade
-accumulation of fluid in sac
-pericardial friction rub tension pneumothorax
-compression of heart

, -deviated trachea
-absent breath sounds
treat underlying cause




MODS


Give this one a try later!


multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
two or more systems

, women 20+ SBE
20-30 CBE every 3
40 begin annual mammography




hemorrhagic stroke


Give this one a try later!


within brain parenchyma
severe hypertension
increased intracranial pressure
much higher mortality - more younger people [cocaine], death may occur
in minutes to hours
treatment:
stabilize airway, respiratory and cardiac
medications for BP
treat ICP much like TBI




amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) lou gehrig disease manifestations


Give this one a try later!


muscle weakness
atrophy- hyperreflexia in a weak, atrophied extremity [highly indicative]
twitching
cramping
stiffness
upper extremities affected first [muscle controlling speech, swallowing,
and respirations]a
die from respiratory failure 3 to 5 years
cognitive functions remain intact
