Meningitis
•Most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the US
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Rash associated with celiac disease
Dermatitis herpetiformis
MI location associated with papillary muscle rupture
Inferior wall
Initial ventilation strategy for cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation
Harsh, crescendo-decrescendo sound best heard over the 2nd intercostal space, louder with inspiration
Pulmonic Stenosis
LP findings
–Opening pressure 300 mm H2O
–Leukocyte count 1100/microL
–Glucose < 39 mg/dL
–Protein 450 mg/dL
Bacterial meningitis

Epsilon wave
Diagnosis in ventilated patient for hypotension, decreased left breath sounds and left deviated trachea
Right main bronchus intubation
Low frequency, diastolic murmur, best heard at the lower left sternal border, increases with inspiration
Tricuspid Regurgitation
Inflammation in meningitis may constrict the normal flow of CSF around the brain causing what symptom?
Seizures
Name the syndrome that is due to external compression of common hepatic duct resulting from a large stone lodged in cystic duct
