Lidocaine dose - 1-1.5 mg/kg
Max dose; 300 mg (3 mg/kg)
Reduce dose by 50% age >70
Regular rhythm variance - 0.04 seconds
Only contraindications for Mg Sulfate? - Recent MI
Heart block
The release of histamines can cause _________________. - Leaking of fluid from the
vessels
As a person inhales, the diaphragm and intercostals contract, causing the intrapulmonic
pressure to be: - Lower than atmospheric pressure
What occurs when the beta receptors are stimulated? - Beta receptor stimulation will
increase the patient's heart rate and constrict the vessels.
Which of the following below best describes Myxedema? - Hypothyroidism
Myxedema is a medical emergency that results in the deficiency of the thyroid
hormones. It can be caused by an infection or atrophy of the thyroid hormone.
Drug & Intervention classes - Interventions that are always acceptable, safe, and
effective are classified as Class I. Interventions that may be acceptable but are
considered optional or alternative interventions are classified as Class IIb. Interventions
deemed unacceptable and possibly harmful to the patient are classified as Class III.
The root word gnath- means: - Gnath- means jaw.
Propranolol should not be administered concurrently with? - Propranolol is a beta
blocker and Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. Both drugs have side effects
consistent with parasympathomimetics, thus their combined actions could cause the
patient to go into cardiac arrest within minutes. Beta blockers, including propranolol,
have an additive effect with other drugs, which decrease blood pressure, or which
decrease cardiac contractility or conductivity. Clinically-significant interactions
particularly occur with: Verapamil, epinephrine, Beta 2-adrenergic receptor agonists,
clonidine, ergot alkaloids, isoprenaline, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, quinidine,
cimetidine, lidocaine, Phenobarbital, and rifampicin.
, A pulmonary embolism: - A pulmonary emboli is a piece of foreign material that has
traveled from another part of the body and is lodged, blocking the pulmonary artery. It is
common and underdiagnosed as it is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United
States. Causes include obesity, infection, long bone fractures, pregnancy, surgery,
prolonged inactivity, blood diseases, and cancer.
How long does it take for the kidneys to deal with a change in PH? - The kidneys take a
long time to deal with changes in PH 10-20 hours typically.
The correct initial dosage of thiamine in the adult patient is? - The correct initial dosage
of thiamine in the adult patient is 100 mg over 2-5 minutes.
Which type of diabetic emergency generally has a gradual onset? - Diabetic coma has a
gradual onset, and occurs over a period of hours or days. Hypoglycemia or insulin
shock can occur in minutes or hours.
Stimulation of the Beta 2 receptors would result in: - Stimulation of the Beta 2 receptors
results in bronchodilation and peripheral vasodilation.
Levophed dose - 0.1-0.5 mcg/kg/min
Epinephrine drip dose - 2-10 mcg/min
Dopamine drip dose - 2-10 mcg/kg/min
Normal spinal cord diameter? - 10mm
The three types of sensory peripheral nerves are? - Connecting, motor, and sensory
Which of the following lobes is responsible for processing memory and hearing
information? - Frontal is higher level thinking and personality traits. Parietal is where
most sensory info is processed with the exception of hearing, seeing, and smelling.
Occipital is where vision is processed. Temporal is where hearing and memory are
taken care of.
When interpreting a 12-lead how do you correctly diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy?
- Add v1's S wave in mm and the R wave in v5, if the total is greater than or equal to 35
mm the patient has left ventricular hypertrophy.
The average adult human body is approximately _______ percent water. - 60
Asthma is classified into two types. - Extrinsic asthma, which is more common in
childhood, causes brochioles constriction as a result of an outside substance like dust.
Intrinsic asthma is more common in adults where no specific cause for the bronchioles
constriction can be identified\
