Hypocapnia
reduced carbon dioxide in the blood
Signs and Symptoms of pleural effusion
tachypnea (fast breathing)
decreased breath sounds
dullness to percussion

obstruction of lymphatic system that caused overload of lymph in the interstitial space
Define Edema
fluid in the interstitial space
Cancer most commonly associated with lymphedema

,Lung
High dose cyclophosphamide cardiac effects
damaged cardiac endothelium
Paclitaxel cardiac effects
asymptomatic bradycardia
5FU cardiac effects
coronary artery spasm
Anthracycline (Daunorubicin, doxorubicin, and epirubicin) cardiac effects
cardiomyopathy
Diagnostic test for pericardial effusion
Echo
Abnormalities of what electrolyte and what mineral interfere with cardiac
function?
Potassium and Calcium
What med can be used to protect heart against effects of doxorubicin
Dexrazoxane
Spiral CT
Diagnostic test for pulmonary emboli
D-DImer test
used to diagnose or rule out conditions that cause hypercoagulability (inappropriate
clotting)
DIC
Accelerated activation of the coagulation cascade. Clots form in random places leaving
the body open to bleeding without protection
Platelet count, Fibrinogen level, D Dimer, FDP Titer
Tests to diagnose DIC
How to treat DIC
Treat underlying cause
What does FFP do?
Contains all of the clotting factors except platelets. Used to supplement red blood cells
when whole blood is not available or to correct a bleeding problem of unknown cause. It
is also used to correct DIC.

Signs/Symptoms of DIC
bleeding from 3 unrelated sites
hypoxia
SOB
fever
mottled extremities
Causes of DIC
Delivery (of baby)
Infection
Cancer
How does Heparin help DIC?
, Interferes with thrombin production. Maintain PTT at 1-2 times the normal level (18-28
seconds)
S/S of septic shock
Fever
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Most common cause of sepsis
