Here are 3 of the 50 concepts
Each entry tells you what the concept is, why your brain drops it, and the specific detail you need to hold onto.
02
Heparin vs. Warfarin Monitoring
Both are anticoagulants, so the labs blur together.
Heparin is monitored by aPTT. Warfarin is monitored by PT/INR. Heparin antidote: protamine sulfate. Warfarin antidote: vitamin K. Remember: HepPTT.

Types of Shock
Four types with overlapping symptoms but different treatments.
Hypovolemic: fluid loss, give fluids. Cardiogenic: pump failure, avoid fluids. Distributive: vasodilation. Obstructive: physical blockage. Cardiogenic is the only type where fluids can kill.

Early, late, and variable all look similar, but the interventions are different.
Early: head compression, benign. Late: uteroplacental insufficiency, ominous -- stop Pitocin, left side, O2. Variable: cord compression, reposition.
