Lead screening who are high risk?
High-risk children should be screened at age 1 to 2 years.
Lead screening
-more common in IDA
-Blood lead level (BLL) should be checked 9-12 mo & 24 mo
do a developmental screen
- <10 micrograms/dl ~mild repeat 3 weeks
- 10-19; repeat in 4 weeks and do education
, ->20 get xRAYS --lead poisoning
>44begin chelation therapy via IV
Lead poisoning symptoms
irritability, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, anemia
Lead poisoning treatment
Treatment include: Chelation therapy, to remove lead from the body, Chelating
agents bind with lead and are then excreted in urine.
Oral therapy include succumer or Chemet, used with lead levels between 20-44mcg/dL.
IM therapy include edetate calcium disodium or CaeEDTA, used for lead levels between
45-69mcg/dL. This effectively removes lead from soft tissue and bone. Dimercaprol
BAL, is used only for lead levels over 70mcg/dL because of its toxicity. This also removes
lead from blood cells. penicillamine-Cuprimine, orally given after the above chelation
therapy.
Anemia
A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total
volume.
GI loss?
Pregnancy?
Mental Status Assessment in Older Adults: Montreal Cognitive Assessment:
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA© Version 7.1) was developed as a
quick screening tool for MCI and early Alzheimer's dementia.
