Cardiovascular Flashcards
What mess do you give for a dissection
Beta blockers
Calcium channel blockers
Nitro
Surgery
Most common sites for aneurysm
LV, aorta, brain, spleen
Which type of MI should you not give morphine
Right ventricular infarction (RCA occlusion)
What do inotropes do
Increase contractility
Examples of inotropes
Dopamine Dobutamine Dopexamine Epinephrine Isoprenaline Norepinephrine
Elevated leads in inferior infarction
II, III, aVF
Elevated leads in septal infarction
V1, V2
Elevated leads in anterior infarction
V1, V2, V3, V4
Elevated leads lateral infarction
I, aVL, V5, V6
Causes of sinus bradycardia
Metabolic condition
Calcium channel blockers/beta blockers
Increased ICP
MI
How do we treat Bradycardia
Transcutaneous pacing
Atropine
Causes on sinus tachycardia
Stress, shock, volume loss, heart failure, mess, illegal drugs
Treatment of afib
Beta blockers/calcium channel blockers - impede conduction through AV node to control ventricular rate
Cardioversion or ablation
Atrial rate in a flutter
250-550/min
Treatment for a flutter
Cardioversion
BB/CCB
What is the pacemaker in junction all dysrhythmia
AV node
SA node slows or impulse not conducted
