(Print)
neurological disorder caused by severe liver dz, presents as confusion
occurs when pathogens enter a patient's bloodstream through a central line
laxative and ammonia reducer, can treat HE, target 3-5 BM's daily
device that treats respiratory conditions by providing positive air pressure on inspiration and expiration
potassium wasting loop diuretic, push slowly (ototoxic)
anticoagulant used to prevent DVT is hospitalized pts, decrease dose with renal impairment
plasma protein made by the liver, helps maintain intravascular volume
Complication of Diabetes, more common in T2, hyperglycemia, volume depletion
test that measures the amount of time it takes for blood to clot. used to check Heparin levels
elevated level of this lab (>2) is seen with sepsis
75% of UTI's in the hospital are these
irregularly fast heart rhythm (>150) affecting the atria. Tx is valsalva or Adenosine
abnormal overreaction of the ANS to stimulation, typically r/t SCI (Inc BP, sweating, muscle spasms
normal potassium level
reversal agent for Benzos aka Romazicon
kidneys stop functioning, requiring Dialysis or kidney tx
resp condition diagnosed by sleep study, treated with CPAP, can increase risk of HF, MIs, CAD
assisting breathing (ARDS) by increasing the pressure that remains in airways at the end of exhalation
irregular, often rapid heart rhythm characterized by quivering atria. increases risk of stroke
complication of bowel surgery, temporary lack of peristalsis
sudden decline in kidney function, typically as a result of another severe illness
NSAID used for pain, caution with bleeding or kidney impairment
extended release (12 hr) narcotic prescribed for chronic pain
characterized by increase in PH>7.45 and bicarb HCO3 >35, loss of gastric secretions
Narcotic typically found in IVPCA. monitor for CNS and respiratory depression
immune complication of heparin therapy, causing very low platelet levels
a complication of Diabetes that includes hyperglycemia, ketosis and acidosis
serious complication of infection that includes hypotension and organ dysfunction
An antirejection medication given to tx recipients, need to monitor therapeutic range.
breakdown product from muscle and protein metabolism. normal level is 0.6-1.
