Myxedema coma is also known as...
A. Thyroid storm

Hypothyroidism
Most common presentation of a patient with hypothyroidism are all of the following, Except...
A. Cold intolerance with coarse hair
B. Almost exclusively over the age of sixty
C. >90% of cases occur in the winter
D. Primarily in men
Primarily in men
Hypothroidism occurs primarily in women, almost exclusively over the age of sixty, with 90% of the cases occurring in the winter months.
Your patient presents with following parameters: CVP 0, CI 1, PA S/D 8/4, wedge 3, and SVR 1,800. What is your diagnosis?
A. Hypovolemic shock
B. Right ventricular infarction
C. CHF
D. Sepsis
Hypovolemic shock
Careful interpretation of the CVP is important!
Central venous pressure (CVP) describes the pressure of blood in the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart.
CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system.
Drug of choice for profound hypotension in septic shock is?
A. Isotonic crystalloid solution
B. Levophed
C. Nipride
D. Dobutamine
Levophed
Sepsis is by far the most common cause of distributive shock.
The average normal ICP range is...
A. 0-10 mmHg
B. 10-20 mmHg
C. 20-30 mmHg
D. >30 mmHg
Normal ICP range is 0-10 mmHg, but range can go as high as 15 mmHg.
The formula to calculate MAP is
A. 2/3 DBP × SBP
B. 2 × DBP + SBP divided by 3
C. 2 × SBP + DBP
D. 2 + DBP × SBP divided by 3
2 × DBP + SBP / 3
(normal 80-100 mmHg)
Normal coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) is
A. 50-60 mmHg
B. 70-90 mmHg
C. 80-100 mmHg
D. <50 mmHg
Normal 50-60 mmHg
Coronary perfusion pressure: (CPP) = DBP-PAWP
The patient presents with the following hemodynamic parameters: CVP 1, CI 1.7, PA S/D 12/6, wedge 6, and SVR 300. Vital signs are 78/40, HR 60, RR 16, SaO2 98%. The most likely cause is...
A. RVMI
B. Neurogenic shock
C. Septic shock
D. Hypovolemic shock
Neurogenic shock
SVR < 800, think distributive shock. Next look at the CI; is it less than 2.5? Hypotension and either a normal heart and/or bradycardia present narrows the type of distributive shock as being neurogenic shock.
Severe hypothermic Pt's are at highest risk for which of the following rhythm?
A. A-Fib
B. Asystole
C. V-Fib
D. Sinus Brady
V-Fib
Severe: 20-28 (coma, VF common)
