ANS-LUNGS, dyspnea at rest, rales, wheezing, generally healthy except acute event, S3, murmur of mitral regurg Right heart failure - ANS-JVD, hepatomegaly, peripheral edema MR ASS - ANS-Mitral regurg, aortic stenosis, systolic murmurs MS ARD - ANS-Mitral Stenosis, aortic regurg, diastolic Mitral murmur locations - ANS-5th ICS, apex Aortic murmur locations - ANS-2nd or 3rd ICS, base S1 - ANS-AV valves closed, SL open S2 - ANS-SL closed, AV open Cardiac blood flow - ANS-SVC,RA, tricuspid, RV, pulmonic valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, LA, mitral, LV, Aortic valve, aorta, body Cushing's - ANS-Moon face, buffalo hump, hypertension, HYPERglycemia, HYPERnatremia, HYPOkalemia, tx depends on cause (stop meds, tumor) Addison's ADRENOcorticoid deficiency - ANS-Remember: SEX, SALT, and SUGAR Deficient cortisol, androgens, and aldosterone, hyperpigmentation in buccal mucosa, tanning, HYPOtension, scant hair, HYPOglycemia, HYPOnatremia, HYPERkalemia, cosyntropin is the rule out for addison's, manage: referral, glucorticoid, hydrocortisone, fludrocortisone inpatient: hydrocortisone and fluids HYPERthyroidism/Grave's - ANS-TSH LOW, T3 High, Grave's Disease, bulgy eyes, weight loss, fine thin hair, smooth skin, a fib Specialist referral, propranolol, methimazole, PTU, lugol's Thyroid crisis - ANS-PTU or Methimazole with adjunct within 1 hour Lugol's propranolol, hydrocortisone No ASA Hypothyroidism - ANS-(TSH assay most sensitive test) TSH ELEVATED, T4 LOW hasimototo's most common, LOW AND SLOW, cold intolerance, weight fain, brittle nails, brady, hypoactive BS, Levothyroxine 50-100mcg Myxedema Coma - ANS-AIRWAY, fluid replacement PRN, levothyroxine 400mcgIVx1 Subacute thyroiditis - ANS-Treated symptomatically with propanonlol Pheocromocytoma - ANS-Labile hypertension, TSH normal, postural hypotension, plama-free metanephrines to rule out, CT to confirm, surgical removal, postop: hypotension, adrenal insufficiency, hemorrhage urine catecholamines, alpha blockers phentolamine DKA - ANS--intracellular dehydration, kussmaul, hyperglycemia 250, ketonemia, hyperkalemia Management: 1L first hour500ml/hr, 0.1/kg/hr, glucose 250 change to D51/2 when switching to subq insulin, inititate subQ insulin 2-3 hours prior to stopping insulin drip HHNK (Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic NON KETOSIS) - ANS-Type 2 DM, super elevated glucose 600, hyperosmolar 310, normal anion gap, elevated hgbA1c, normal pH Management: massive fluid replacement, overall deficit usually 6-10L, 15U regular insulin IV followed by 10-15U subq Dawn Phenomenon - ANS-"Dawn Rising", elevated glucose at night and high in AM, increase the bedtime dose of insulin Somogyi Effect - ANS-Nocturnal hypoglycemia, elevated glucose at 0700 due to rebound, reduce or omit bedtime dose (need to know the glucose in the middle of the night) Serum Cr - ANS-.5-1.5, most sensitive renal marker BUN - ANS-10-20, can fluctuate independent of creatinine and due to specific causes (i.e. GI bleed/dehydration) Normal fasting glucose level - ANS-60-99 Type I DM - ANS-HLA-DR3/DR4 association, ketone development, islet cell antibodies Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, random plasma glucose 200, impaired glucose tolerance 100-125, bring back in to repeat test Consult dietary, if ketones present need insulin 0.5u/kg/day 2/3 AM 1/3 PM Type II DM - ANS-Obesity and syndrome X, skin infections, recurrent vaginitis, no ketones present in blood/urine, start with weight control and diet Sulfonylureas most widely prescribed stimulate pancreas to make more insulin Biguanides- adjust for sulfonyurleas but cannot be used alone-Metformin-standard of care with diagnosis of Type 2 lactic acidosis is a side effect Syndrome X - ANS-Obesity, hypertension, abnormal lipid profile WHO ladder of pain management - ANS-1. Start with non opioid 2. maintain initial + opioid, 3. don't lose the initial non-opioid and add stronger pain medication (morphine, CONTINUES...
