Let's Diuresis
This type of AKI is caused by decreased blood flow to the kidneys, such as in hypovolemia, HTN or heart failure.
What is PRErenal AKI
This term describes inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by premature enzyme activation
Auto digestion with pancreatitis
The treatment of DIC primarily focuses on this.
What is treating the underlying cause
This class of drugs helps reduce preload /fluid overload by promoting diuresis and is commonly used in CHF.
What are diuretics
This lethal rhythm has no identifiable P waves, no QRS complexes, and looks like a chaotic scribble.
What is V-fibrillation?
This blood test measures nitrogen waste products and rises when kidney function declines.
What is BUN
This lifestyle change is critical in managing chronic pancreatitis.
What is alcohol cessation?
What is the abnormal activation in DIC?
What is widespread coagulation and bleeding?
DIC involves both excessive clot formation and bleeding due to consumption of clotting factors- platelets and fibrin.
This class of medications lowers afterload, improves survival in CHF-the "Gold Standard" and ends in "-pril."
What are ACE inhibitors
This Class III antiarrhythmic drug is commonly used for ventricular dysrhythmias and requires monitoring for pulmonary toxicity
What is Amiodarone
AKI can cause this potentially life-threatening electrolyte imbalance characterized by muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmias.
What is Hyperkalemia
A complication of Acute Pancreatitis that involves a decreased blood flow to kidneys from hypotension?
What is acute tubular necrosis
Elevated levels of this lab marker indicate increased fibrinolysis or clotting and often used in diagnosing DIC.
What is D-dimer
In severe cases of cardiomyopathy, when EF <30%, patients may need this device to prevent ventricular arrhythmia.
Implantable defibrillator AICD
This procedure involves delivering a synchronized electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm in patients with unstable atrial fibrillation.
What is synchronized cardio version
This stage of CKD is defined by a GFR of _______ mL/min/1.73 m² and typically requires dialysis or transplant.
What is GFR 15
This is the first-line treatment priority in acute pancreatitis.
What is IV fluids bolus to prevent hypovolemia and NPO to rest the pancreas
This organ may show signs of dysfunction such as hematuria, decreased urine output or elevated creatinine in DIC.
What is the kidneys
This medication improves cardiac contractility and has a narrow therapeutic window, requiring close monitoring of levels.
What is digoxin
This implantable device monitors heart rhythm and uses pacing to correct life-threatening dysrhythmias.
What is a pacemaker
This mineral, found in bananas, oranges, and potatoes, must often be restricted in CKD to prevent dangerous heart rhythms.
What is potassium
This imaging modality is most commonly used to evaluate the size and inflammation of the pancreatitis.
What is Ultrasound
This is a key nursing intervention to minimize bleeding risk in a patient with DIC.
What is avoiding IM injections, venipuncture, using soft toothbrush, fall precautions.
This CHF symptom may cause someone to gain several pounds over a few days without changes in diet.
What is rapid weight gain due to fluid retention?
This medication is used with A-Fib or A-Flutter to help decrease the risk of stroke
What is Heparin
