WERNICKE'S ENCEPHALOPATHY
Nystagmus, ophthalmoplegia, confusion, ataxia
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can begin as early as two hours after the last drink, persist for
weeks, and range from mild anxiety and shakiness to severe complications, such as seizures
and delirium tremens (DTs).
Withdrawal seizures usually first strike between 24 and 48 hours after someone stops drinking,
although they can appear as early as 2 hours after drinking stops.. The risk of seizures is
especially high in patients who previously have undergone multiple detoxifications.
DTs usually begin between 48 and 72 hours after drinking has stopped, Risk factors for DTs
include a history of withdrawal seizures or DTs, acute medical illness, abnormal liver function,
and older age.

A/c ANTERIOR MI
Significant Q waves, ST elevation & T inversion in lead V2,V3, V4
Q waves and T inversion in lead V1
If change only in V1,V2 it is septal MI
ANTERIOR MI:
definition of STEMI officially according to the ACC/AHA guidelines for STEMI is “New ST elevation at
the J point in at least 2 contiguous leads of ≥ 2 mm (0.2 mV) in men or ≥1.5 mm (0.15 mV) in women in
leads V2–V3 and/or of ≥1 mm (0.1 mV) in other contiguous chest leads or the limb leads 1.” So 1 mm in
any 2 contiguous leads EXCEPT leads V2 or V3 where the elevation must be 2 mm in men or 1.5 mm in
women
A/c ANTEROLATERAL MI
Significant Q waves, ST elevation & T inversion in lead I, aVL, V5,V6
Most common MI
HYPERKALEMIA
Small or absent P waves
Atrial fibrillation
Wide QRS
Shortened or absent ST segment
Wide, tall and tented T waves
HYPOKALEMIA
Small or absent T waves or inverted T waves
Prominent U waves
T wave is the tent house of K(potassium)
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
PR is irregularly irregular
R-R intervals are very different from beat to beat
Narrow QRS tachycardia
No P waves, instead small fibrillatory 'f' waves seen
ATRIAL FLUTTER
PR is regular or variable
Atrial rate is 300/min
All P waves are not conducted to ventricles
R-R intervals vary depending on the AV conduction ratio
QRS is narrow (◀ 0.12 sec)
The P waves have a saw toothed appearance called 'F' waves
VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA
A wide QRS tachycardia is VT until proved otherwise
Features suggesting VT
Evidence of AV dissociation
Independent P waves
Beat to beat variability of the QRS morphology
Very wide complexes (▶ 0.14ms)
The QRS is similar to that in Ventricular ectopics
Concordance (chest leads all positive or negative)
PATHOLOGICAL Q WAVE:
Pathological Q wave of infarction in respective leads is due to the dead muscle
It is deep in amplitude(more than 25% of the succeeding R waves or ▶ 4mm)
Its duration is ▶ 0.04sec or ▶ 1 small box
It is seen in the leads facing the infarcted muscle mass
NORMAL Q WAVES:
Normal Q wave in lead I is due to septal depolarisation
It is small in amplitude (less than 25% of the succeeding R wave or ◀ 3mm)
Its duration is ◀ 0.04sec or ◀ 1 small box
Seen in L1,Sometimes in V5,V6
T WAVE INVERSION:
Deep symmetric inverted T waves in more than 2 chest leads
85% of the patients with T wave inversion had 75% of stenosis of coronary artery
T wave inversion is significantly associated with MI
T WAVE
NORMAL
Upright in all leads except aVR and V1
Amplitude < 5mm in limb leads, < 15mm in precordial leads
Peaked T waves:
Tall, narrow, symmetrically peaked T-waves are characteristically seen in hyperkalaemia.
Hyperacute T waves:
Broad, asymmetrically peaked or ‘hyperacute’ T-waves are seen in the early stages of ST-
elevation MI (STEMI) and often precede the appearance of ST elevation and Q waves. They are
also seen with Prinzmetal angina.(diabetic MI )
Loss of precordial T-wave balance occurs when the upright T wave is larger than that in V6.
This is a type of hyperacute T wave.
Paediatric T waves:
Inverted T-waves in the right precordial leads (V1-3) are a normal finding in children,
representing the dominance of right ventricular forces.
T-wave inversions due to myocardial ischaemia or infarction occur in contiguous leads based on
the anatomical location of the area of ischaemia/infarction:
Inferior = II, III, aVF
Lateral = I, aVL, V5-6
Anterior = V2-6
. Fixed T-wave inversions are seen following infarction, usually in association with pathological
Q waves.
VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY
. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy:
Left ventricular hypertrophy produces T-wave inversion in the lateral leads I, aVL, V5-6 (left
ventricular ‘strain’ pattern), with a similar morphology to that seen in LBBB.
Lateral T wave inversion due to LVH
T wave inversion in the inferior and right precordial leads due to RVH
PULMONARY EMBOLISM:
Acute right heart strain (e.g. secondary to massive pulmonary embolism) produces a similar
pattern to RVH, with T-wave inversions in the right precordial (V1-3) and inferior (II, III, aVF)
leads.
T wave inversion in the inferior and right precordial leads in a patient with bilateral PEs
HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY(HOCM):
. HOCM is associated with deep T wave inversions in all the precordial leads.
BIPHASIC T WAVES :
There are two main causes of biphasic T waves:
Myocardial ischaemia
Hypokalaemia
WELLENS SYNDROME:
Wellens’ syndrome is a pattern of inverted or biphasic T waves in V2-3 (in patients presenting
with ischaemic chest pain)

CLINICAL FEATURES
Respiratory problems may develop within 6hrs
Throat swelling, Eyes, ears, nose, and throat Pain, Abdominal pain, Bloody stools, vomiting,
possibly with blood, Heart and blood Collapse, Low blood pressure -- develops rapidly.
The defatting action (chemical dissolving of dermal lipids from the skin) of kerosene on the skin
can result in local irritation as well as drying and cracking of skin. There may be transient pain
with redness, blistering and superficial burns.
Kerosene poisoning in the eyes may result in irritation causing an immediate stinging and
burning sensation with excessive tear production.
Intentional ingestion of kerosene can cause nausea, vomiting and occasionally diarrhoea.
PATHOGENESIS
• Pathogenesis is mainly due to aspiration either during ingestion.
• Systemic absorption is very small.
• Most children ingest less than 30ml.
• CNS symptoms are due to hypoxia and acidosis. These results from damage to the lungs.
• Respiratory problems are mainly due to development of atelectasis and pneumonitis.
DIAGNOSIS
It is based on the history of ingestion, radiological investigation in addition to above clinical
features.
INVESTIGATIONS
X-ray chest- Initially fine, punctate, mottled densities appear in the perihilar area and mid lung
fields. Ill defined, patchy densities develop subsequently. These commonly coalesce to form
larger areas of consolidation.
Pneumonitis typically is bilateral and generally involves multiple lobes, most severely the lower
lobes.
Localised areas of atelectasis and obstructive emphysema are often present.
Pleural effusion, pneumatoceles, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous
emphysema are infrequently noted.
Varying degrees of hypoxia and hypercarbia are present.
TREATMENT
Dermal exposure
• Remove patient from exposure.
• Remove all soiled clothing.
• Wash the contaminated area thoroughly with soap and water.
• Treat symptomatically.
Ocular exposure
• Remove patient from exposure.
• Immediately irrigate the affected eye thoroughly with water or 0.9% saline for at least 10-15
minutes.
Inhalation
• Remove patient from exposure and give oxygen.
• Maintain a clear airway and adequate ventilation.
• Apply other measures as indicated by the patient’s clinical condition.
Ingestion
• Gastric lavage should not be undertaken. Consider gastric aspiration within 1 hour of
ingestion, if very large amounts have been taken or there

If severe pain - p'mol infusion 100mg IV stat
(1 vial in 100ml NS, slow IV look for anaphylaxis if no rest of 9 vials in same 100ml NS)
snakebite protocol should be followed even if snake is nonpoisonous.. keep under observation
for 24 hrs.. initially BT, CT at 1 hr interval and later from 4th onwards BT, CT at 3 hr interval...
after 12 hrs look BT CT at 6 hr interval on 24 complete hrs if normal pt can b discharged, during
IP keep limb elevated and look for edema or redness locally if it crosses one joint or if it causes
bubo be little more cautious increase frequency of BT CT, give a empirical dose of Ampicillin
and gentamycin 2 dose 12 hr apart, on discharge even if no signs of fever give 5 days course of
ampiclox and a nsaid if local pain persist, non poisonous snake if deep bite there is 60to70%
chance of cellulitis or local infections , ask them not to panic if bubo is present in the groin in 2
days,
It is now recommended to adopt what has been called the ‘Do it R.I.G.H.T.’ approach, stressing
the need for Reassurance, Immobilisation as per a fractured limb, Getting to Hospital without
delay and Telling the doctor of any symptoms that develop.
20 Minute Whole Blood Clotting Test (20WBCT) in the diagnosis and management of viperine
bite- 10ml blood of victim in plain vial is checked for clotting after 20min.
If not clotted- suggest viper.
Pain management - never give NSAIDs- causes more bleeding. Never give morphine- can
cause respiratory failure.
ASV Dosage & Repeat Dosage-The recommended initial dose of ASV is 8-10 vials
administered over 1 hour.
Dose of ASV is same in children, pregnant or elderly, because venom injected is of same
amount, so ASV required is of same dose.
Repeat doses for haemotoxic viperine snakes is based on the 6 hour rule.
Repeat doses for neurotoxic snakes is based on the 1-2 hour rule.
At the first sign of an adverse reaction the ASV is halted-0.5mg Adrenaline is given IM- ASV
remaining dose should be given- Avil & Efcorlin can be given to prevent ASV anaphylaxis.
Neurotoxic Bite -neostigmine test-Despite the fact that the neostigmine test (Neostigmine
0.5mg IM with atropine 0.6mg IV) was actually an Indian discovery, it is still poorly used in India.
Neostigmine works in cobra bite as cobra venom acts on postsynaptic neurons.
Hemotoxic bites with correct signs of envenomation can be treated with 8-10 vials of ASV,
stabilised if any ASV reaction occurs with adrenaline and then transferred to a higher centre
with the ability to carry out the required blood tests to identify occult bleeding or renal
impairment.
Heparin has no role in curing DIC of snakebite, and can increase bleeding, so contraindicated in
viperine bites.
Botropase should not be used as coagulant in controlling viperine bite bleeding, as it causes
consumptive coagulopathy.
Neurotoxic bites with correct signs of envenomation can be treated with 8-10 vials of ASV,
stabilised if any ASV reaction occurs with adrenaline and administered the neostigmine test.
If the patient is unable to perform a neck lift then they will be transferred to a higher centre with
mechanical ventilatory capability.
The rational application of ASV and repeat doses has resulted in patients being discharged
earlier.

After effects (confusion, amnesia, drowsy)
Cause
Simple faint - emotional, fear, venesection,hypoxia orthostatic hypotension, Hypoglycemia,
Cardiogenic - HOCM, valvular lesion (AS)
Neurocardiogenic - cough, straining
Treatment
Rest and salted drinks
PRE SYNCOPE (a pre- or near-syncope episode) - this is when the person can remember
events during the loss of consciousness, such as dizziness, blurred vision, muscle weakness,
as well as the fall before hitting their head and losing consciousness.
SYNCOPE (a synoptic episode) - this is when the individual may remember the feelings of
dizziness and loss of vision, but not the fall.
Symptoms
A feeling of heaviness in the legs
Blurred vision
Confusion
Feeling warm or hot
Lightheadedness, dizziness, a floating feeling
Nausea
Sweating
Vomiting
Signs
Low BP, hypoxia, pale
Cause
Neurocardiogenic syncope (also known as reflex syncope, vasovagal episode, vasovagal
response, vasovagal attack, vasovagal syncope) - occurs when something causes a short-term
malfunction of the ANS.
Occupational syncope - type of neurocardiogenic syncope, but the link is physical rather than
emotional, mental or abstract. Examples
. Coughing
. Defecating
. Lifting a heavy weight
. Sneezing
. Urinating.
ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION
caused by:
. Severe dehydration
. Untreated diabetes - the patient urinates much more frequently and becomes dehydrated. If
blood glucose levels go to high there may be damage to some nerves, especially those that
regulate blood pressure.
. Drugs - diuretics, beta-blockers and antihypertensive drugs may cause orthostatic hypotension
. Alcohol
. Neurological conditions - Parkinson's disease
. Carotid sinus syndrome - temporary unconsciousness resulting from pressure on the pressure
sensors (carotid sinus) in the carotid artery, when the individual turns his head to one side,
wears a tight collar or tie, or presses over the carotid sinus while shaving.
. Cardiac syncope
- Arrhythmias
- Stenosis of valves
- Hypertension
- MI

Agitation, confusion, delirium, seeing or hearing things that are not there (hallucinations)
Difficulty paying attention (attention deficit)
Mood swings
Nosebleeds
Severe fatigue
Slow, sluggish, weak feeling
WEEK ONE:
Gradual rise in temperature, typically worse through the day, over the first 2-3 days, typically
reaches 40°C (104°F).
Dry cough.
Relative bradycardia (Faget's sign): - the pulse is slower than would be expected from the
degree of temperature.
Malaise.
Headache.
Epistaxis in around a third.
Abdominal pain.
Leukopenia with relative lymphocytosis.
Blood cultures are positive for S. typhi (or S. paratyphi).
In this bacteremic phase it is possible to find bacteria in the reticuloendothelial tissues of the
liver, spleen, bone marrow, and gallbladder and Peyer's patches in the terminal ileum. The
gallbladder is infected via the liver and infected bile gives positive stool cultures and re-infects
the bowel. Gallstones predispose to chronic biliary infection and long-term faecal carriage.
WEEK TWO:
During the second week the patient has a toxic appearance with apathy and sustained pyrexia.
High fever around 40°C (104°F), often swinging.
Malaise and weakness.
Relative bradycardia, with dicrotic pulse wave.
Confusional state, which gave typhoid the name of 'nervous fever'.
Rose spots on the lower chest and abdomen - seen in around one third of Caucasian patients;
difficult to see in darker skin. Rose spots are caused by bacterial emboli. They are crops of
macules 2-4 mm in diameter that blanch on pressure.
Lung base rhonchi.
Abdominal distension with right lower quadrant tenderness and increased borborygmi.
Diarrhoea, typically green, with a characteristic foul smell, often compared to pea soup.
Constipation may also occur.
Hepatosplenomegaly is common.
Elevated liver transaminases.
Positive Widal's test.
WEEK THREE:
By the third week there is considerable weight loss.
Pyrexia persists and a toxic confusional state may occur.
Marked abdominal distension develops and liquid, foul, green-yellow diarrhoea is common.
The patient is weak with a weak pulse and raised respiratory rate.
Crackles may develop over the lung bases.
Death can occur at this stage from overwhelming toxaemia, myocarditis, intestinal
haemorrhage, or perforation of the gut, usually at Peyer's patches.
Complications which are most likely to develop at this stage include:
Intestinal haemorrhage due to bleeding from congested Peyer's patches.
Perforation of the distal ileum, frequently fatal. There may be little warning, and peritonitis is a
common complication.
Encephalitis.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms: muttering, picking at clothes, confusion.
Metastatic abscesses.
Cholecystitis.
Endocarditis.
Osteitis.
Dehydration is a significant risk.
One third develop a macular truncal rash.
Thrombocytopenia with risk of bleeding.
Eye complications may occur (usually only with associated systemic illness) including corneal
ulcers, uveitis, abscesses (eyelid or orbit), vitreous or retinal haemorrhage, retinal detachment,
optic neuritis, extraocular muscle palsies, and orbital thromboses.
WEEK FOUR:
In the untreated patient the fourth week sees the fever, mental state and abdominal distension
slowly improve over a few days, but intestinal complications may still occur. Convalescence is
prolonged, and most relapses occur at this stage
