Approximately four percent of the U.S. population has either intermittent or permanent Afib. In people over the age of 60, the incidence rises to about nine percent. AFib is caused by abnormal electrical impulses in the atria. The result is a rapid and irregular pumping of blood through the atria. These chambers fibrillate, or quiver, rapidly. AFib may or may not produce symptoms or cause serious complications. In some cases of AFib, the fibrillation of the atria causes the ventricles to beat too fast. This is called a rapid ventricular rate or response (RVR). If you have AFib with RVR you will experience symptoms, typically a rapid or fluttering heartbeat. RVR can be detected and confirmed by your doctor. It can cause serious complications and requires treatment. SIRS/ VRE: An inflammatory state affecting the whole body, frequently a response of the immune system to infection, but not necessarily so. It is related to sepsis, a condition in which individuals meet criteria for SIRS and have a known infection. It is the body's response to an infectious or noninfectious insult. Although the definition of SIRS refers to it as an "inflammatory" response, it actually has pro- and anti-inflammatory components. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a type of bacteria called enterococci that have developed resistance to many antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Enterococci bacteria live in our intestines and on our skin, usually without causing problems. But if they become resistant to antibiotics, they can cause serious infections, especially in people who are ill or weak. These infections can occur anywhere in the body. Some common sites include the intestines, the urinary tract, and wounds. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci infections are treated with antibiotics, which are the types of medicines normally used to kill bacteria. VRE infections are more difficult to treat than other infections with enterococci, because fewer antibiotics can kill the bacteria. Transaminitis: A regionally popular term for increased transaminases (AST, ALT) coupled with non-specific hepatitis, which may occur in a patient undergoing the early stages of multiorgan failure.

In care facility PTA, the patient was refusing meals and medications. Could also be related to chronic renal insufficiencies that do not spare Na. Also can be diminished by diuretics. -Monitor IV fluid intake so it is not providing less sodium than maintenance and ongoing losses -Make sure the patient does not only appear hyponatremic due to increase in IV fluids acting as dilutant Occurs in renal failure. Patient is in end stage renal failure. -Drugs that may cause decreased levels include methicillin, nitrofurantoin, paraldehyde, phenformin, tetracycline, thiazide diuretics and triamterene -Related tests: ABGs ESRD causes diminished renal blood flow causing decreased renal excretion of BUN. Sepsis also could be a cause which decreases renal blood flow as well. Directly proportional to renal excretory function.
