What is the symogyi effect? | Rebound hyperglycemia after hypoglycemia because the body overcompensates |
What is DKA? | a. Diabetic Ketoacidosis from a lack of glucose the body breaks down fats to use ketones as energy. The brain can’t store ketones so they turn into ketoic acid. b. The blood glucose is >250, acidosis, fruity or acetone breathe, kussmauls |
What is HHNK? | a. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic noketoic b. Profound dehydration c. The blood glucose is >600 glucose, thick blood |
Explain what the difference between a thrombotic and an embolic stroke is. | a. Thrombotic and embolic are both clots b. Thrombotic comes from the brain c. Embolic comes from somewhere else to the brain |
What is a hemorrhagic stroke? | a. A bleed in the brain |
What is the significance of a Transient Ischemic Attack verses a CardioVascular Accident? | a. TIA is a precursor and CVA is the stoke b. If you get a TIA within 2 years you will have a CVA |
