Question 2
The patient is a gravida 6, para 1
She is admitted after a cesarean section after an amniotic embolus. Her heart rate (HR) is more than 150 beats/min with a systolic BP less than 80 mm Hg. Her temperature is 38 C, and her condition has caused her to develop prerenal azotemia. The patient was fluid resuscitated through a double-lumen catheter, which was placed into her right femoral access, and started on vasopressors with a fair response (BP, 80/50 mm Hg; HR, 122 beats/min). Because of her diagnosis and a concern regarding fulminating sepsis, the patient was begun on CVVH. Identify three complications of CVVH therapy.
a. Fat emboli, increased ultrafiltration, and hypertension
b. Hyperthermia, overhydration, and power surge
c. Air embolism, decreased inflow pressure, and electrolyte imbalance
d. Blood loss, decreased outflow resistance, and acidbase imbalance
