5 P's with fractues: pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia and paralysis
Addison's (ad-aldosteron deficiency to remember) disease- ↓na and ↑ k,
hypoglycemia.
remember – if there is low/absent na+ in the body, than nothing holds h2o in.
thus, ↑urine output, hypotension +, hypovolumia, dehydration and ↓ co.
major function of aldosteron – is to keep na+ in & k+ out of the body .
Cushing’s (too much glucocorticoids) syndrome is opposite to addison’s.
adrenal hypersecretion of glucocorticoids. ↑ na ↓k and ca, hyperglycemia.
When assessing think of the cushion (moon face, buffalo hump, truncal obesity).
pheochromocytoma - htn is a hallmark.
Sodium: 135-145
Hyponatremia: Nausea, muscle cramps, increased ICP, confusion,
convulsions. Treat with LR or 0.9%NaCl and water restrictions
Hypernatremia: weakness, disorientation, hallucinations, hypotension and
tachycardia. Treat with hypotonic solutions (D5W, 0.3% or 0.45%NaCl)
Hyperkalemia: EKG changes, dysrhythmia, cardiac arrest, muscle weakness,
paralysis. Treat with Kayexalate (can cause diarrhea), emergency situations
calcium gluconate, regular insulin, and dialysis
Calcium: 9-11
Hypocalcemia: Tetany, Trousseau’s sign- inflate BP cuff on upper arm=
carpal spasms. Chvostek’s sign- tap facial nerve= twitching of facial muscle.
Treat with calcium gluconate, seizure precaution, caution with digitalis
patients, phosphate binding antiacids, calcitriol, Vit D.
Hypercalcemia: sedation effect, muscle weakness, abdominal pain and
distention, depressed deep tendon reflexes.
Treat with Calcitonin, Lasix, prevent development of renal calculi, may be
caused by hyperparathyroidism.
Magnesium: 1.5-2.5 **Magnesium acts as a depressant
Hypomagnesium: increased neuromuscular irritability, tremors, tetany,
seizures, dysrhythmia, dysphagia. Treat with increase Mg (green veggies,
nuts, bananas, oranges, peanut butter, chocolate.) Magnesium sulfate, keep
self inflating breathing bag and monitor respirations, test ability to swallow
before PO fluids.
Hypermagnesium: Depresses CNS, depresses cardiac impulses, hypotension,
facial flushing, muscle weakness, absent deep tendon reflexes, shallow
respirations. EMERGENCY, treat with iv calcium gluconate, support
ventilation, (Mag Sulfate antidote is Calcium Gluconate)
