End-of-Life Care in ICU Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Lactic acidosis type _____ is due to anaerobic metabolism secondary to poor tissue perfusion.

Answer: A

Flashcard 2: _____natremia (hypovolemia) is seen only with seawater drowning

Answer: Hyper

Flashcard 3: _____ is used for the treatment of cardiotoxicity due to hypermagnesemia and hyperkalemia

Answer: Cal. gluconate

Flashcard 4: A patient undergoing massive transfusion initially develops _____kalemia followed by hypokalemia

Answer: hyper

Flashcard 5: The _____ score is used to assess organ failure in acute pancreatitis.

Answer: SOFA

Flashcard 6: Hypo_____ and hypoxia are the two most common causes of pulseless electrical activity (PEA)

Answer: volemia

Flashcard 7: _____ syndrome is an apparent alteration of thyroid hormone level with normal thyroid gland function seen in critically ill patients

Answer: Euthyroid sick

Flashcard 8: Hartmann solution can be used to treat metabolic _____ caused in all cases other than lactic acidosis

Answer: acidosis

Flashcard 9: Does high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) reduce the rate of intubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (based on the primary outcome of the FLORALI trial)?

Answer: No (based on the primary endpoint of the FLORALI trial)

Extra: The **FLORALI trial** (NEJM, 2015) studied HFNC in patients with non-hypercapnic acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. - **Primary endpoint:** Intubation rate at 28 days. Result: **No significant difference** (p=0.18) in the overall population. - **Secondary endpoint:** 90-day **mortality**. Result: **Significant reduction** with HFNC compared to standard oxygen or NIV. - **Subgroup analysis:** In patients with severe hypoxemia ($PaO_2/F_iO_2 \le 200$), HFNC *did* significantly reduce the intubation rate. Note: While the landmark FLORALI trial's primary endpoint was negative for intubation, more recent meta-analyses generally suggest that HFNC reduces the risk of intubation compared to conventional oxygen therapy.

Flashcard 10: Sine wave pattern is present when the serum potassium levels are _____ mmol/L

Answer: >8.0
