Cardiac pt 4 Flashcards
what is the progressive stage of shock
compensatory mechanisms no longer enough to sustain adequate perfusion to tissues
what are the three things that can cause hypovolemic shock
hemorrahage
burns (plasma loss)
interstitual fluid loss via emesis, dieuresis, diaphoresis, diarrhea etc
what are some clinical manifestations of atrial flutter and fibrillation
typically asymptomatic unless ventricular response is affected
atrial fibrillation
completely disorganized and irregular atrial rhythem + irregular ventricular rhythm
first degree heart block
prolonged PR interval - takes longer between start of atria depolar and ventric depolar
what are the 3 stages of shock
compensatory
progressive
refractory
what do PVCs do
depolarize the ventricle without affecting the atria or SA node
how would atrial impulses appear with atrial fibirllation
small squiggly waves of various sizes and shapes
what is distributive shock characterized by
excessive vasodilation and perioheral pooling of blood
what is atrial flutter
rapid atrial rate of 04-350bpm
what are the clinical manifestations of hypovolemic shock
thirst
inc HR
cool clammy skin
dec art BP
oliguria
confusion
third degree heart block
no impulses conducted from atria to ventricle
hypovolemic shock
loss of blood volume
when does hypovolemic shock start to develop
when intravasculr volume has decreased by about 15 percent
what can alter the acid-base balance of the blood with the progressive stage of shcok
lactate productiion from anaerobic metabolism
