Q

Recall the ranges of incidence for ventricular arrhythmias

A

PVC-10 to 93%

VT-3 to 39%

VF- 4 to 20%

17
Q

Define Cardiogenic Shock

A

Cardiogenic shock is a result of inadequate tissue perfusion due to cardiac dysfunction

18
Q

What is the most common cause of cariogenic shock?

A

Acute MI (Mechanical, pericardial, conduction secondary to MI)

19
Q

What are the 6 components to treating cariogenic shock?

A
  1. Assessment and Evaluation
  2. Treat the Lungs
  3. Optimize Volume
  4. Optimize MAP
  5. Consider inotropes/vasoactives
  6. Attack dysrhythmias
20
Q

Other than Asthma, what are six other conditions that could cause wheezing?

A
  • CHF
  • Emphysema
  • Pneumonia
  • Upper airway obstruction
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Pulmonary Embolism
21
Q

What are the three pathophysiologic abnormalities in asthma?

A
  1. Bronchoconstriction
  2. Airway inflammation
  3. Mucous production
22
Q

Effects of hypercapnia

A
  • DLOC
  • Increased ICP, Cerebral blood flow
  • Respiratory acidosis
  • Reduced cardiac output
  • Vasodilation
23
Q

What are some secondary consequences to dynamic hyperinflation?

A
  • compliance decreases
  • Shunting
  • Obstructive shock
  • Right heart failure
24
Q

What is Auto-PEEP?

A

resistance to exhalation increases, invetiably causing air-trapping(breathe stacking).

25
Q

Describe two respiratory changes that occur with PE?

A
  • V/Q mismatch

- Increased RV after load
