Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 4CCS
Mr. Heyden, a somewhat stocky 72-year-old man, is brought in to the emergency room (ER). The paramedics report that his left arm and the left side of his body trunk were pinned beneath some wreckage in a bus accident, and that when he was freed, his left hypogastric and lumbar areas appeared to be compressed and his left arm was blanched and without sensation. On admission, Mr. Heyden is alert, slightly cyanotic, and complaining of pain in his left side; he loses consciousness shortly thereafter. His vital signs are taken, blood is drawn for laboratory tests, and Mr. Heyden is catheterized and immediately scheduled for a CT scan of his left abdominal region.
Analyze the information that was subsequently recorded on Mr. Heyden’s chart:
Urinalysis: Some granular casts (particulate cell debris) are noted, and the urine is brownish-red in color; other values are normal, but urine output is very low. An order is given to force fluids.
(a) What might account for the low volume of urine output? (Name at least two possibilities.) (b) What might explain the casts and abnormal color of his urine? Can you see any possible relationship between his crush injury and these findings?
The next day, Mr. Heyden is awake and alert. He says that he now has feeling in his arm, but he still complains of pain. However, the pain site appears to have moved from the left upper quadrant to his lumbar region. His urine output is still low. He is scheduled once again for a CT scan, this time of his lumbar region. The order to force fluids is renewed and some additional and more specific blood tests are ordered. We will visit Mr. Heyden again shortly, but in the meantime think Think about what these new findings may indicate.

Mr. John Doe, a 72-year-old male with a long-standing history of chronic heart failure attributed to ischemic heart disease, was brought to the emergency department by his family due to increasing episodes of shortness of breath, especially at night, and swelling in his legs over the past week. Mr. Doe has been managing his condition with a regimen of ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and loop diuretics. Despite his adherence to medication, he has experienced gradual weight gain and decreased urine output in the days leading up to his presentation. His medical history is also significant for type 2 diabetes mellitus, controlled with oral hypoglycemics, and hypertension. On physical examination, Mr. Doe appeared visibly distressed, with labored breathing at rest, using accessory muscles. His blood pressure was noted to be 160/90 mmHg, with a heart rate of 98 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 26 breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation of 89% on room air. Bilateral pitting edema was…
John Smith joined a Triathlon for a cause. The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating. The Emergency Medical Service on standby rushed to give him medical aid.
a.) Discuss the role of electrolytes in this case.
b.) What imbalances (Hypernatremia vs. Hyponatremia; Hyperkalemia vs. Hypokalemia) led to his condition? Justify.
In an individual with metabolic acidosis, a clue that the respiratory system is compensating is provided by (a) high blood bicarbonate levels, (b) low blood bicarbonate levels, (c) rapid, deep breathing, (d) slow, shallow breathing.
