Dysphagia «Test»
Slide#21
TIA
Suppress on superior vena cava
Edema of Face and Arms Problem with flow
In Aneusrym
Audible pulse or brui detected in brui = Brui Heard
Slide #22
s/s Aneuyrsm
Epigatric Pain
Altered Bowel Elimination
Intermittent Claudication
AAA Hx what is prohibited
Palpitations is prohibited
Listen to Brui
Abdomen X-Ray/ CT-scan
Never ascultate over top of abdomen
Slide #24
Rupture into retroperitoneal space
Qn. How do you know with aneurysm pt. is bleeding?
Grey Turners sign
BP drops
Tachycardia
RR increases
Absent pedal pulses when rupture as there is no circulation
Aneurysm rupture
Action to be taken: Fluid + Blood Transfusion immediately
Cold and Clammy
Absent pedal pulse = Take BP
Slide#26
with aneursym, pedal pulses not felt, BP is very important
Diagnostic: Chest X-ray
Chest Pain actions
If not MI, then AA making chest pain
