[CK] Recurrent pancreatitis management

General

LVAD(significant other condition): low threshold to do image
but prefer CT with contrast!
however do CT without contrast! if it's urgent/worsening quick.

=========================================
# Recurrent acute on chronic pancreatitis:
- pain control with fentanyl 100 mcg q2hrs prn
- cont home buprenorphine patch
- clear liquids if tolerated, o/w stay NPO
- NS at 75 cc/hr
- defer CT scan until renal function is better and able to do the study with IV contrust. However, if worsening of symptoms, obtain CT scan w/o contrast expediciously
- additional labs ordered and reviewed: UA (no UTI), GGT (normal), urine ethyl glucuronide (pending)

[CK] LVAD parameter review. [ ] tree !!

Vital(BP): hypo, hyper. PEx(JVP): volume status -------------------------------- 1st. PI(3-7)= contractility and volume status(high volume only cause high PI) overload = high PI. low volume = low PI. (=low volume = low preload = RV failure, arrhythmia same thing) HTN = low PI low BP = low PI. (only overload cause high PI = with high preload, but otherwise, BP, volume => cause low PI) 2nd. Flow(4-6) overload, 3rd. Power(surge = only thrombus, 4-6) hypotension route (BP) => high VADFL = vasodilator, sepsis = R/O => low VADFL(most common) with high JVP => RV failure, PE/tamponade, pneumothorax , then adjust LVAD(higher) ...

NON PARAMETRIC = DISTRIBUTION FREE TEST BUT Expected frequency >5 (at least more than 80% of all cells) ; for running valid test. cf) if it's not met, should use FISHER's EXACT TESTS 써야한다. 이 '5' 라는 숫자가 나온 이유는, 계산상의 문제때문이었나??????
