#Just_Remember
#Permessive_hypertension
*Is an approach of treating hypertension in acute ischemic stroke , in which antihypertensive treatment is warranted in patients with systolic blood pressure greater than 220 mm Hg,or diastolic blood presure greater than 120mmhg in the pts receiving thrombolytic therapy, or with concomitant medical issues
The goal would be to lower blood pressure by 15% during the first 24 hours after onset of stroke
,* it is recommended that the blood pressure be reduced and maintained below 185 mm Hg systolic for the first 24 hours. The first-line drugs for lowering of blood pressure remain labetalol, nicardipine, and sodium nitroprusside.

السلام عليكم
اليوم حبيت أنطيكم طريقة مبسطة ل interpretation of ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) للي عنده صعوبة بتحليلها ان شاءالله يفيده هالبوست 🙏
عدنا 3 عوامل رح نعتمد عليها
(PH, PCO2, & HCO3)
لازم تعرفون النورمال رينج لكل واحد بيهم وعلى شنو يدل:
●normal blood PH (7.35-7.45)
يعني اذا قل PH عن lower limit فهذا يعني acidosis , واذا زاد فهو alkalosis باختصار 🙂
وعدنا أيضا:
●normal PaCO2 (35-45 )mmHg
هو المسؤول عن acidosis , ويدل على respiratory
●Normal HCO3 (22-29)meq/L or mmol/L
هو المسؤول عن alkalosis ويدل على metabolic
بعدها نبدأ بالخطوات التالية:
1] اول شي نشوف PH هل هي acidosis or alkalosis
2] بعدها نشوف منو يتناسب ويه التغيير الحاصل ب PH 🤔
مثلا اذا acidosis حيتناسب وياها اما زيادة ب PCO2 او نقصان ب HCO3
و اذا alkalosis حيتناسب وياه العكس اما نقصان PCO2 او زيادة HCO3
اذا شفنا التغيير صار ب PCO2 فهذا معناه respiratory, واذا HCO3 معناه metabolic مثل ماذكرنا سابقا
3] النقطة الثالثة اذا احنه حنكول respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis هذا اذا صار تغيير ب PH مع واحد بس من الاثنين PCO2 او HCO3 والثاني يكون بالنورمال رينج 💁
اما شوكت حنكول compensated resp./metabolic acidosis/alkalosis
اذا كان PH within normal but near to upper or lower limit اضافة الى انه PCO2 & HCO3 ثنينتهم high او low مع بعض 🙌, حنتعامل ويه PH اللي قريب من lower limit على انه acidosis , واللي قريب من upper limit على انه alkalosis ونشوف منو يتناسب وياه من PCO2 او HCO3 مثل ماشرحنا سابقا بس حنضيف قبله كلمة compensated , لان الجسم بهالحالة ديحاول يصلح الامور ويوازنها ويرجعها للمستوى الطبيعي
أتمنى تكون وصلت المعلومة واستفدتوا🤗
وعذرا على الإطالة
وجمعتلكم هالشرح كله بهذا الجدول للاختصار و تسهيل الفهم 😊
طبعا اذا جينا على التفاصيل بهالموضوع فهي كثييرة وبيها معادلات وكومة شغلات بس اني حاولت انطيكم المعلومات بشكل مبسط وسهل , اما بالنسبة للأرقام هذه بالنسبة لل adults, و من مدسكيب , المراجع تختلف , والpediatric age group , and sex يختلف شي بسيط حتشوفوها بمدسكيب ....
بالتوفيق ,,,,

reached the threshold of 58 mmol/mol (7.5%)
a type 2 diabetic is found to have a HbA1c of 62 mmol/mol (7.8%) at annual review. They are currently on maximum dose metformin. You elect to add a sulfonylurea
Cannot tolerate metformin or contraindicated
if the HbA1c rises to 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)* on lifestyle interventions, consider one of the following:
? sulfonylurea
? gliptin
? pioglitazone
if the HbA1c has risen to 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) then a one of the following combinations should be used:
? gliptin + pioglitazone
? gliptin + sulfonylurea
? pioglitazone + sulfonylurea
if despite this the HbA1c rises to, or remains above 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) then consider insulin therapy
Starting insulin
metformin should be continued. In terms of other drugs NICE advice: 'Review the continued need for other blood glucose lowering therapies'
NICE recommend starting with human NPH insulin (isophane, intermediate acting) taken at bed-time or twice daily according to need
Risk factor modification
Blood pressure
target is < 140/80 mmHg (or < 130/80 mmHg if end-organ damage is present)
ACE inhibitors are first-line
Antiplatelets
should not be offered unless a patient has existing cardiovascular disease.
#Management_of_type2_Diabetes_mellitus:
NICE updated its guidance on the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in 2015. Key points are listed below:
HbA1c targets have changed. They are now dependent on what antidiabetic drugs a patient is receiving and other factors such as frailty
there is more flexibility in the second stage of treating patients (i.e. after metformin has been started) - you now have a choice of 4 oral antidiabetic agents
It's worthwhile thinking of the average patient who is taking metformin for T2DM, you can titrate up metformin and encourage lifestyle changes to aim for a HbA1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%), but should only add a second drug if the HbA1c rises to 58 mmol/mol (7.5%)
Dietary advice
encourage high fibre, low glycaemic index sources of carbohydrates
include low-fat dairy products and oily fish
control the intake of foods containing saturated fats and trans fatty acids
limited substitution of sucrose-containing foods for other carbohydrates is allowable, but care should be taken to avoid excess energy intake
discourage use of foods marketed specifically at people with diabetes
initial target weight loss in an overweight person is 5-10%
HbA1c targets
This is area which has changed in 2015
individual targets should be agreed with patients to encourage motivation
HbA1c should be checked every 3-6 months until stable, then 6 monthly
NICE encourage us to consider relaxing targets on 'a case-by-case basis, with particular consideration for people who are older or frail, for adults with type 2 diabetes'
in 2015 the guidelines changed so HbA1c targets are now dependent on treatment:
Lifestyle or single drug treatment
Management of T2DM HbA1c target
Lifestyle 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)
Lifestyle + metformin 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)
Includes any drug which may cause hypoglycaemia (e.g. lifestyle + sulfonylurea) 53 mmol/mol (7.0%)
Practical examples
a patient is newly diagnosed with HbA1c and wants to try lifestyle treatment first. You agree a target of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)
you review a patient 6 months after starting metformin. His HbA1c is 51 mmol/mol (6.8%). You increase his metformin from 500mg bd to 500mg tds and reinforce lifestyle factors
Patient already on treatment
Management of T2DM HbA1c target
Already on one drug, but HbA1c has risen to 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) 53 mmol/mol (7.0%)
Drug treatment
The 2015 NICE guidelines introduced some changes into the management of type 2 diabetes. There are essentially two pathways, one for patients who can tolerate metformin, and one for those who can't
Tolerates metformin:
metformin is still first-line and should be offered if the HbA1c rises to 48 mmol/mol (6.5%)* on lifestyle interventions
if the HbA1c has risen to 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) then a second drug should be added from the following list:
? sulfonylurea
? gliptin
? pioglitazone
? SGLT-2 inhibitor
if despite this the HbA1c rises to, or remains above 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) then triple therapy with one of the following combinations should be offered:
? metformin + gliptin + sulfonylurea
? metformin + pioglitazone + sulfonylurea
? metformin + sulfonylurea + SGLT-2 inhibitor
? metformin + pioglitazone + SGLT-2 inhibitor
? OR insulin therapy should be considered
Criteria for glucagon-like peptide1 (GLP1) mimetic (e.g. exenatide)
if triple therapy is not effective, not tolerated or contraindicated then NICE advise that we consider combination therapy with metformin, a sulfonylurea and a glucagonlike peptide1 (GLP1) mimetic if:
? BMI >= 35 kg/m² and specific psychological or other medical problems associated with obesity or
? BMI < 35 kg/m² and for whom insulin therapy would have significant occupational implications or
weight loss would benefit other significant obesityrelated comorbidities
only continue if there is a reduction of at least 11 mmol/mol [1.0%] in HbA1c and a weight loss of at least 3% of initial body weight in 6 months
Practical examples
you review an established type 2 diabetic on maximum dose metformin. Her HbA1c is 55 mmol/mol (7.2%). You do not add another drug as she has not
