Q

Premature Ventricule Complex (PVC)

Multifocal Vs. Unifocal

What do they look like?

A

Impulses sent from somewhere other than SA Node (Atria). NO P Wave. Starts in the ventricles.

Multifocal= QRS do no match, they can be up or down, are irregular meaning the signal is coming from multi locations in ventricles

Unifocal= QRS do match, so signal is coming from the same spot

What does PR Segment include and what is it?
Begins at end of P ends at beginning of Q (P-Q without the P wave) Impulses travel through HIS & Purkinje fibers
26
What does PR interval include and what is it?
Begins at beginning of P ends at beginning of Q (P-Q including P) Depolarization of Heart from SA-->AV-->HIS-->Purkinje
27
What is the T Wave? What is the max height? What does it look like?
Ventricular repolarization AKA ventricles refilling with blood preparing to pump again 5mm height Long hill after the QRS
28
What is QRS complex? What is it's duration? What does it look like?
Electrical impulses through ventricles causing their contractions .06-.12 seconds Sharp point on EKG
29
What is the P Wave? What is the length? What does it look like? What is the duration?
initiation of impulse from SA node to AV node. Results in Atria contractions <1.5-2.5 boxes on EKG strip Upright and rounded before QRS. (1 for every QRS) .06-.10 seconds
30
What parts are included in a complete waveform on EKG?
P, QRS complex and T wave
31
3 uses for an EKG?
1. Identify irregularities in heart Rhythm 2. Reveal presence of injury, death or physical changes in heart muscle 3. Assessment and Diagnostic
32
What are 3 intrinsic rates in order?
1. SA Node= 60-100 BPM 2. AV node= 40-60 BPM (SA Back up) 3. Purkinje Fibers= 20-40 BPM (SA/AV Back up)
33
What is the conductive pathway of the heart
1. SA Node initiates heart beat to AV node 2. Bundles of HIS divides R/L 3. Purkinje fibers carries electrical impulses to ventricles
34
4 electrical systems of the heart
1. Automaticity= Produces electrical impulses 2. Excitability= Responds to Impulses 3. Conductivity= Transmits impulses 4. Contractility= Contracts when stimulated
35
What is the MRI Hazards
Magnetic Field is 21k times greater than earths natural field. Anything containing metal can be airborne
36
When would we get a PET Scan? How is it done?
Checking for disease in the body like cancer. Body is scanned with special dye that is radioactive Determines between benign & Malignant - lung cancer stages - fibrosis from tumor - metastatic diseases
37
When would we get a CT Scan? How is it done?
determine/diagnose Pleural Effusion Images taken in slices and placed together
38
5 Xray lines/tubes and how they look
1. ETT= radiopaque lines 3-6cm above carina 2. Trach= beyond 1/2 distance between stoma and carina 3. Swan Ganz= in pulmonary artery in neck 4. NG= Flows down to stomach toward the left 5. Chest= in Pleural Cavity. There are breaks in the Chest tube radiopaque lines to indicate chest tubes
39
List the AA, B, Cs of Xray evals (A-I)
A= Assessment A= Airway B= Bones C= Cardiac D= Diaphragm E= Equal & Effusions F= Fissures G= Gastric Bubble H= Hilum I= Impression
40

41
What is the A=Airway looking for on Xray?
Is there an ETT tube and is it in good placement?
42

47
What is G=Gastric Bubble looking for on Xray?
Can you see the air in the stomach?
48
What is H=Hilum Looking for on Xray?
Should be slightly white in the hilum region as this is normal
49
What is I=Impression looking for on Xray?
What is our overall impression of the Xray?
50
What does over-penetrated, under-penetrated, Xray Film look like?
Over= Dark Under= Light
51
What is Xray Positions PA, AP, Lateral Decubitus and expiratory & When would we use it?
PA= Posteroanterior Most common (Back to Front) AP= Anteroposterior Common in ICU (Front to back) Lateral Decubitus= L or R. side laying position looking for pleural fluid or air fluid levels Expiratory= Determine small Pneumothorax or unilateral airway obstructions
52
Radiopaque vs Radiolucent
Radiopaque= Light cannot be penetrated by Xray Radiolucent= Xrays can pass through (air, soft tissue, fat)
53
What is calorimetry and when would we use it?
The amount of body heat in units of calroies generated by the body during metabolism Increased calories measured-->increase metabolic rate-->increased nutrient consumption Use it= Difficult to wean pts
54
What is parenteral feeding? How is it done? Long or short term?
Nutrition through an IV live (peripheral or central) used only for nutrient support Short term
55
What are the 3 complications from parenteral feeding?
1. Mechanical 2. Infections 3. Metabolic
56
What is enteral feeding? Is it better or worse than Parenteral?
Nutrients delivered strait to gut. Safer and cheaper. stimulates gut hormones, less hyperglycemia and fewer ulcers
57
3 types of enteral feeding?
1. NG Tube= Through Nose) 2. OG Tube= Through Mouth 3. PEG= Through Stomach
58
6 Pts at high risk for malnutrition
1. Underweight 2. Pook intake 3. Protracted nutrient loss (Dialysis, malabsorption, draining wounds/abscesses) 4. Hyper metabolic state (fear, trauma, burns) 5. Chronic Drug/Alcohol use 6. Poverty, isolation, late age
59
5 underlying causes of malnutrition in COPD pts
1. Increased energy expenditure (Increased WOB) 2. inadequate calorie intake (dyspnea while eating) 3. Poor utilization of calories (Mal-absorption) 4. Psychological factors (depression, smoking, poverty) 5. Eating & living arrangements
60
7 Respiratory Consequences of malnutrition
1. Affects all ages 2. Increase morbidity and mortality for resp, cardia, renal failure 3. Resp muscle dysfunction, affects ventilations, higher resp infections and changes to lung parenchymal 4. underlying disease increases energy and promotes muscle catabolism 5. Prone to hypercapnia (high CO2 in blood) 6. Difficult to wean from vent 7. Higher mortality rate
