Pharmaceutical Management of Hyperthyroidism / Thyroid Storm Beta-Blockers • Decreases sympathetic hyperactivity • Partially blocks peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 (propranolol) Propylthiouracil (PTU) • Blocks synthesis of thyroid hormone • Decreases conversion of T4 to T3 • Faster onset of action than methimazole • Preferred in pregnancy Methimazole • Blocks synthesis of thyroid hormone • Teratogenic Iodine • Inhibits release of stored thyroid hormone • Administer only after synthetic pathway has been blocked by PTU or methimazole (approx. 1 hr) Steroids • Decrease peripheral conversion ofT4 to T3 • May treat autoimmune process in Graves' disease • Treats adrenal insufficiency that may accompany storm #Hyperthyroidism #ThyroidStorm #Management #Pharmacology #Medications #Drugs

Occult Causes of Non-Response to Vasopressors vital disclaimer: the cognitive response to hypotension should not be reaching for a vasopressor. the primary therapy for hypotension is treatment of the underlying pathology definition: patients who despite substantial vasopressor doses do not show HD parameter improvements. failure of response -> cognitive pause + consideration of reasons considerations for non-responders: - acidosis - hypothyroid - anaphylaxis - adrenal insufficiency - hypoCa2+ - occult bleeding - toxicologic - 2nd cause shock #Diagnosis #Nonresponse #Nonresponder #Multiple #Vasopressors #Differential #Causes #RebelEM #Refractory

Cross-Reactivity of Penicillins and Cephalosporins Cross reactivity of penicillin-allergic patients to cephalosporins has more to do with the R1 side chain than the β-lactam ring. Carbapenem cross-reactivity is <1%, and there is no cross-reactivity with monobactams. #CrossReactivity #Penicillins #Cephalosporins #Allergy #Management #Carbapenem #Reaction #Incidence #PCN #Pharmacology
