1.How do you calculate Serum Osmo(Na x 2) + (Glucose/18) + (BUN/2.8)
2.Becks Triad for Diagnosing Tamponade- JVD
- Hypotension (huffled heard tones)
- Tachycardia
- Narrowed Pulse Pressure
3.Right Ventriculogram via Cath shows:RV Size, Function, and Structure
RVOT
Tricuspid Regurg
PA Anatomy
Pulmonary Venous Return to Left Side of Heart
4.Left Ventriculogram via Cath Shows:LV size, function, structure
Outflow Tract
Left to Right shunting patterns
5.Aortagram via Cath Shows Aortic Arch Structure
Aortic Regurg
Coronary Anatomy
6.SvO2 Monitoring Normal is 60% to 80%
Low SvO2 = Low CO ----- OR ---- Increased demand (fever, infection...)
7.O2 consumption (VO2) indi-
rectly reflects ____?Tissue demands CaO2 - PvO2 = VO2
PA line is used for intermittent analysis of PVO2.
8.Impending Respiratory Fail-
ure seen when......PCO2 >50 and raising by 5 per hour.
9.Pulmonary HTN can be asso-
ciated with..... EXAMPediatric CCRN (CRITICAL CARE REGISTERED NURSE) - Hot Spot Notes Fatigue
Hepatomegaly
Accentuated S2 sound
10.In PPHN there is __________ RV pressures due to shunting of blood from the __________ to the _______?Increased
PA
Aorta
11.Heliox is _____ density that is ______ turbulent than oxygenlower
less
12.Leukotriene Inhibitors are part of long term man-
agement of asthma. Takes ______ hours to take effect.24. Thus not an emergent rescue treatment.
13.Acysteinyl Leukotriene caus-
es broncho ________, mu-
cus secretion, __________ vascular permeability and eosinophils to migrate to the airway.constriction
Increased
14.Anion Gap Calculation (Na - K) - (CL + HCO3)
Different between the positive and negative ions
15.Normal Anion Gap 10 to 12
16.What type of arrythmia is ex-
pected one day post op heart Cath for repair of an ASD ?PACs
17.Early Stages of Septic Shock Increased Cardiac Output
Decreased SVR
Flushed, warm extremities, bounding puls-
es, and widened pulse pressure EXAM Pediatric CCRN - Hot Spot Notes CRUNCH TIME BETCH
18.Patients with myelomeningo-
cele are prone to ______?Constipation and Impaction
They are also unable to control BMs, are required to have more activity to increase bowel movements, and need to have a BM every day.
19.Prior to administering Dig as-
sess:Serum Potassium and PR Interval
20.Potassium and dig Fact! Hypokalemia can aggravate digoxin car-
diotoxicity, even in the presence of therapeu-
tic levels of digoxin.
21.Most serious adverse effects of digoxin toxicity?Arrhythmias - including heart block - which may be indicated by an abnormal lengthen-
ing of the PR interval.
22.Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) progres-
sionCirculatory collapse -> Respiratory Failure -> GI tract and liver failure -> Renal failure -> neurological Dysfunction
23.Mannitol (osmitrol) is admin-
istered to a patient with a head injury to:Raise Serum Osmolality
Produces both osmotic and vasoactive ef-
fects that decrease intercranial hyperten-
sion, likely related to its theologic properties resulting in a shift of water from the cellular to the extracellular spaces.
The subsequent diuretic phase drains water with the medication to be excreted in urine, resulting in a higher serum osmolality.
24.The sequelae of chronic hy-
poxemia includes:Increased PVR
Pulmonary Hypertension
Cor Pulmonale
25.BPD is a response of _____? An immature lung to early injury occurring in premature infants and leading to venti-
lation-perfusion mismatch, which results in EXAM
