SEPSIS

100

This mean arterial pressure (MAP) goal is targeted in the ICU to maintain organ perfusion

> 65

200

This vasopressor is first line for hypotension refractory to adequate fluid resuscitation in septic patients

Norepinephrine 

300

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends at least this amount of IV fluid (mL/kg) be given as a bolus for fluid resuscitation in septic patients

30 mL/kg

400

Antimicrobial agents should ideally be administered within this time frame (hours) after recognition of sepsis

1 hour

500

This medication dosed at 50 mg IV Q6H is suggested to be used in patients with septic shock refractory to adequate fluid resuscitation and vasopressor therapy

Hydrocortisone 

DKA

100

DKA most commonly presents in this type of diabetes

T1DM

200

This fluid administration range of NS or ½NS (mL/hr) is used as the initial rate for fluid therapy in patients with DKA

250-500 mL/h

300

Cases of DKA have been reported with this class of anti-diabetes medications

Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors

400

DKA results from a reduced supply of glucose and increase in this type of oxidation

Fatty acid oxidation

500

ADA recommends patients be below this pH value for sodium bicarbonate to be considered for administration in DKA

6.9

CARDIAC ARREST

100

This is the dose of IV epinephrine during cardiac arrest

1mg

200

What does CAB stand for?

Circulation, Airway, Breathing

300

This is the rate of chest compressions

100 - 120 beats per minute

400

This is the depth of chest compression

At least 2 inches

500

Name 1 of 2 alternative routes of administration if IV access is unavailable

Intraossesous 

Endotracheal

VASOPRESSORS/INOTROPES

100

Alpha₁

200

The primary receptor for Dobutamine is

B₁

300

These are 2 of 3 receptors for Epinephrine

Alpha₁

B₁ 

B₂

400

These are 2 of 3 receptors for Norepinephrine

Alpha₁

B₁ 

B₂

500

This is the unique receptor Dopamine acts on is

Dopamine 

FAST- HUG

100

ICU patients should receive prophylaxis with UFH or LMWH for this reason

Prevention of DVT/PE

200

This prophylactic therapy should be initiated in ICU

patients who are mechanically ventilated >48 hours

Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis

300

Insulin should be initiated in ICU patients after two BG readings over this value are obtained (mg/dL)

180 mg/dL

400

This sedative is the only agent approved for use in non-intubated ICU patients

Dexmedetomidine 

500

Parenteral nutrition should only be considered in ICU patients who cannot be fed by the enteral route after this many days
