DKA management starts with fluids and a potassium check. Learn why low potassium changes the insulin plan—and why falling glucose alone does not mean DKA has resolved. #USMLE #DKA #Hypokalemia

Normal PaCO2 in severe asthma = respiratory muscle fatigue and impending failure. Give O2, frequent albuterol, ipratropium, systemic steroids. If worsening hypercapnia: IV magnesium, intubate. #USMLE #Asthma #ICU

In cocaine-induced ACS, give benzodiazepines first, use nitroglycerin for persistent ischemia, and avoid initial beta blockers due to unopposed alpha vasoconstriction. #USMLE #Cardiology #Toxicology

Pacemaker spikes: before P = atrial paced; before QRS = ventricular paced. Both = dual chamber. Failure to capture = no depolarization after spike. Failure to sense = spike on intrinsic QRS. #USMLE #ECG #Pacemaker

Echocardiography signs - can you recognize? RV diastolic free-wall collapse on echo = cardiac tamponade from large effusion. #USMLE #Cardiology #Echocardiography

Maltese cross on RBCs = babesiosis causing hemolytic anemia; treat mild cases with atovaquone+azithromycin. Risk higher in asplenic, elderly, immunocompromised. #USMLE #Babesiosis #Tickborne

Septal flattening timing on parasternal short axis differentiates RV pressure vs volume overload. Systolic flattening = RV pressure overload; diastolic = RV volume overload. #USMLE #Cardiology #Echocardiography

Use leads I and aVF to determine frontal EKG axis: I+ aVF+ = normal; I- aVF+ = right axis deviation; I+ aVF- = left axis deviation. #USMLE #ECG #Cardiology
