NCLEX
How can you tell if its metabolic or If bicarb goes in the same direction as pH, its metabolic
respiratory?
HC03 normals 22-26
CO2 normals 35-45
As the pH goes.... so goes my patient, except for potassium
Cause of respiratory acidosis overventilating
Cause of respiratory alkalosis underventilating
Withdrawal/overdose in a newborn At birth and for 24 hours after, assume intoxication
occurs 72 hours after stopping drinking in 20% of withdrawal patients--> dan
Delirium tremens
self and others (NPO/clears, restrains, step-down acuity, strict bedrest)
"a mean old mycin", big guns of antibiotics, used for mean old infections (not
Aminoglycosides
mycins, if it has a "thro"... "thro it out")
Toxic affects of aminoglycosides autotoxic, nephrotoxic
taken PO for pre-op bowel surgery or hepatic encephalopathy (not absorbe
Other uses of aminoglycosides
neomycyin and kanamycin (neo kan)
Trough levels always 30 minutes before next dose
SL peak 5-10 minutes after dissolved
, NCLEX
IV peak 15-30 minutes after infusion complete
IM peak 30-60 minutes after giving
SQ peak think insulin
PO peak variable
like valium for your heart, end in -dipine (dipping in the calcium channel) +
Calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem, antihypertensives, antianginals, anti-atrial arrhythmi
AA, AAA)
Calcium channel blockers side effects headaches and hypotension
Calicum channel blockers hold if systolic < 100
contraindications
Lethal (no cardiac output) cardiac rythms V-fib and asystole
amiodorone
Treatment for ventricular arrythmias
V-fib you d-fib
Treatment for atrial arrhythmia ABCDs (adenosine, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin)
1. Epinephrine,
Treatment for asystole
2. Atropine
Types of chest tubes Apicals remove air, basilar removes blood
