EPAP
expiratory positive airway pressure
CPAP
continuous positive airway pressure
a treatment for apnea involving keeping a patient's airways open using air pressure
delivered via a face mask
IPAP=EPAP
ABCDE
asymmetry, border, color, diameter >6mm, evolving
skin eruptions or exanthema 3 groups
1. Macular and maculopapular lesions
2. vesicular or bullous lesions
3. pustular, petechial, or purpuric lesions
secondary changes of skin lesions
comedones, crusting, excoriation, lichenification, scales, scarring, telangiectasia
acne
inflammatory disease of the skin involving the sebaceous glands and hair follicles
causes: corticosteriods, isoniazid
bullous lesions
Caused by exfoliative toxins A and B
Have the appearance of wrinkled tissue paper
Lead to widespread desquamation of the skin
Patients are left vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections
causes: barbiturate overdose, penicillamine, sulfonamides
eczematous dermatitis
most common inflammatory skin disorder, several forms including irritant contact
dermatitis allergic contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis
causes: abx, methyldopa, phenylbutazone, sulfonamides
erythemia multiforme
Hypersensitivity reaction characterized by targetoid rash and bullae; *HSV and
mycoplasma infections; EM with oral mucosa and fever is steven-johnson syndrome
causes: barbiturates, hydantois, penicillin, salicylates, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas
erythema nodosum
, inflammation of subcutaneous tissues resulting in tender, erythematous nodules; may
be an abnormal immune response to a systemic disease, an infection, or a drug
causes: contraceptives, sulfonamides
exfoliative dermatitis
a condition in which there is widespread scaling of the skin, often with pruritus,
erythroderma, and hair loss
causes: allopurinal, gold, indomethacin, phenylbutazone
lichenoid eruption
violaceous to purple, polygonal lesions that resemble those seen in lichen planus
Causes: cholorquine, chlorpropamide, mepacrine, quinidine, quinine, thiazides
photosensitivity
increased reaction of the skin to exposure to sunlight
causes: amiodarone, nalidixic acid, sulfonamides, tetracycline
pigmentation
coloration caused by deposit, or lack, of colored material in the tissues
causes: chloroquine, heavy metals, mepacrine
Psoriasiform rash
causes: gold, methyldopa
purpura
multiple pinpoint hemorrhages and accumulation of blood under the skin
causes: cytotoxic drugs, meprobamate, quinidine, quinine
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of collagen in skin, joints, and internal organs
causes: hydralazine, isoniazid, penicillamine, procainamide
urticaria
allergic reaction of the skin characterized by the eruption of pale red, elevated patches
called wheals or hives
causes: aspirin, imipramine, penicillin, serum, toxoid, vaccines
Bulla
a large blister that is usually more than 0.5 cm in diameter
Comedones
plug of keratin and sebum wedged in a dilated pilosebaceous
crust
accumulated dried exudate
Excoriation
a superficial loss of skin, e.g., by scratching
lichenification
