Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 1CCS
38-Year-Old Female with Preeclampsia
Ms. Johansen, 38, is 26 weeks pregnant with her first child. She was diagnosed with preeclampsia (see p. 1114) three weeks ago. Antihypertensive drugs (p. 724) and daily home care monitoring were initiated. However, her blood pressure is continuing to rise and is now 162/108 mm Hg. She complains of a constant headache, exhibits edema, and her urinalysis is positive for protein.
Her doctor has her admitted and orders further blood tests to assess Ms. Johansen's platelet level and liver function. "We may have to deliver because that’s the only cure for preeclampsia." she says to you during your clinical rotation in obstetrics. “But if we do, then the baby will have problems. It’s a tough decision because we have to balance both the mother's and the baby’s health.”
1. Although blood volume increases during pregnancy, blood pressure normally decreases. You know that blood pressure depends on cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) (Figure 19.10, p. 719). How does increased blood volume affect CO, and what factor(s) must change so that blood pressure decreases?

Mr. H is a 52-year-old male who presents to the emergency department. His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago.
The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side.
Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL)
Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%. (Say normal range is 20-28%)
What is clinically happening to the patient?
Patient M., 36 y/o, was found in the street unconscious. The patient has a medical history of diabetes. There is a smell of alcohol from the mouth. The skin is moist, warm, arterial pressure -145/90 mm column of mercury, convulsive twitching of muscles. Breathing is shallow, eye ball tone is retained, pupils are dilated, hyperflexion. How would you treat this patients?A. Intravenous introduction of 40-80-100 ml 40% glucose solution B. Injecting 20 units of insulin subcutaneouslyC. Injecting 20 units of insulin intravenouslyD. Injecting 500 ml 5% glucose solution intravenouslyE. Injecting 500 ml 0.9% sodium chloride intravenously
