The physician has ordered Lasix (furosemide) 40mg IVP. Your patient has D5NS infusing. The D-R-C for this medication is: (See following pages from IV med book) Dilution: Rate: Compatibility: Furosemide (fur-OH-seh-myd) Lasix Diuretic (loop) pH 8 to 9.3 Usual dose Adjust dose and dose schedule to individual patient needs. Reserve parenteral therapy for emergent situations or for patients unable to take oral therapy. Switch to oral therapy as soon as practical. Edema: 20 to 40 mg. May be repeated in 2 hours. If necessary, increase dosage by 20-mg increments (under close medical supervision and no sooner than 2 hours after previous dose) until desired diuresis is obtained. ACC/AHA 2009 guidelines for heart failure recommend a maximum single dose of 160 to 200 mg. If larger doses are required, may be given as an infusion at a rate not to exceed 4 mg/min. When high-dose parenteral therapy is elected for CHF, the ACC/AHA 2009 guidelines recommend a 40-mg IV loading dose followed by an infusion of 10 to 40 mg/hr. After the initial diuresis the minimum effective dose may be given once or twice every 24 hours as required for maintenance. Dose adjustments Higher doses may be required in renal insufficiency and acute or chronic renal failure. ▪ Reduced dose or extended intervals may be appropriate in the elderly. ▪ Extend dosing intervals in neonates because half-life is prolonged. Dilution May be given undiluted. May be given through Y-tube or three-way stopcock of infusion set. Not usually added to IV solutions, but large doses may be added to NS, LR, D5W, D5NS and given as an infusion. pH of solution must be over 5.5. Some sources recommend protecting diluted solutions from light to prevent photodegradation (minimized at pH 7). Rate of administration IV injection: Each 40 mg or fraction thereof should be given over 1 to 2 minutes. Infusion for Adults: 0.1 mg/kg/hr.
Jаrrоd wаs аn active man whо was extremely interested in physical fitness. Running, gоing to the gym, and being outdoors were a major part of Jarrod’s life. When Jarrod became unable to complete a run or his weight exercises, he became worried. He was experiencing muscle weakness and fatigue more and more frequently in his daily life. Where Jarrod had once been able to go to the gym three days a week for weight training and lift one hundred sixty pounds, he was now lucky to lift seventy-five pounds for just one full repetition before his muscles were no longer able to continue. His doctor told him he had an autoimmune disorder called Myasthenia gravis where the body’s immune system attacks the skeletal muscle cells, making them respond slower to the nervous system and present weaker contractions. Jarrod didn’t understand what any of that meant so the doctor proceeded to explain to him the importance of the nerves and muscles working together. The neuromuscular junction is an important communication point in the human body. This junction illustrates how the nervous system and the muscular system use electric and chemical signals to communicate. This communication allows for our conscious control of skeletal muscles, so it's vital to our daily functions. For this junction to work we must first produce an action potential in a motor neuron. This action potential will propagate down an axon and cause voltage-gated calcium channels to open. The calcium ion will enter the presynaptic terminal and initiate the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The acetylcholine will be released by exocytosis and diffuse across the synapse and bind to ligand-gated sodium channels on the postsynaptic membrane (skeletal muscle). This will cause the ligand-gated sodium channels to open and allow sodium to enter the cell membrane of the skeletal muscle. Once threshold is passed, an action potential is generated along the cell membrane of the skeletal muscle. Muscle contraction will occur soon after. For the muscle to relax, acetylcholine must be removed from the sodium channels by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This will break down the acetylcholine into acetic acid and choline. The choline will be transported back into the terminal end of the axon and the acetic acid diffuses away from the synapse. This figure is associated with the text above and to answers to questions below. The doctor proceeded to explain that in individuals with Myasthenia gravis, the person’s immune system attacks and destroys the ligand-gated sodium channels on the postsynaptic membrane of the skeletal muscle cell. With fewer ligand-gated sodium channels, it takes longer for the threshold to be met to generate an action potential and weakens the contraction strength of the muscle. Jarrod was shocked to learn that it was his own body that had caused the disease and to also learn that his condition was incurable. His doctor informed him that he could use corticosteroids and immunosuppressant medicines to prevent any further attacks, but the current damage was permanent. Jarrod would be unable to continue living as physically active as he had previously been, but in time he would learn the extent of his physical capabilities and slowly define a new normal for his life. What specific part of the neuromuscular junction is targeted by Myasthenia gravis?
