Can someone help me with the following? These are relatively basic topics, but I just can't find a concrete answer and want to give a reasonable answer if I get asked any at the oral boards.
1) Sux - how soon after crush injury, burn, spinal cord injury should you avoid it? After what period of time IS it safe to give?
2) Time requirement for ELECTIVE surgery following MI?
3) Time requirement to delay elective case following
a) angioplasty
b) bare metal stent
4) When "safe" to go off of plavix for elective procedure after drug eluting stent?
5) Hypo/hyperkalemia at which you would cancel elective case?
6) Hyperglycemia at which you would cancel elective case?
7) Blood pressure at which you would cancel elective case.
I think I know most of the answers, but if I get pinned on them during the exam I want to make sure my answers are consistent with general practice.
Thanks!
