CP 2 Flashcards
What branch of the left coronary artery supplies the L arterium, L ventricle (anterior, lateral, posterior, and some inferior)
Circumflex artery
Cardiac conduction system
Sa node to av node to bundle of his to purkinje fibers
Forced expiration against a closed glottis produces increased intrathoracic pressure, increased central venous pressure, and decreased venous return know as ?
Valsalva maneuver - the resultant decrease in CO and blood pressure is sensed by baroreceptors, which reflexively increase HR and myocardial contractility through sympathetic stim.
Once the glottis opens following a valsalva maneuver what happens
Venous return increases and so does the blood pressure, causing the baroreceptors to reflexively decrease the HR through the parasympathetic efferent pathway
Contraction of the external and internal interconstals muscles does what
Elevates the ribs during INSPIRATION
Four muscles of expiration
Rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis
Carina is at the level of
T4 and sternal angle
What sympathetically innervates the smooth muscles or the bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels
Post ganglionic sympathetic fibers. Parasympathetic is via vagus nerve
What structure increases ventilation by responding to increases in partial pressure of CO2 and hydrogen ion
Central chemoreceptors in the medulla
What structures respond to hypoxia by increasing ventilation
Peripheral chemoreceptors in carotid bodies
Pain at the navel, abdominal and/or LBP
Abdominal Aneurysm
Sudden severe headache, vomiting, stiff neck, seizure
Cerebral aneurysm
A congenital heart disease where the foramen ovale fails to shut leaving a hole between the R and L atria allowing blood to bypass the lungs
Atrial septal defect
A congenital heart disease in which the ductus arteriosus, which normally shunts blood from the pulmonary artery directly to the aorta in utero does not close after birth
Patent ductus arteriosus causes back flow of from aorta to the PA then to lungs. If left untreated will cause lung damage, heart failure and pulmonary hypertension
A congenital heart defect where there’s a hole in the septum separating the right and left ventricles.
Ventricular septal defect VSD- can cause r sided heart failure, cyanosis, rapid HR
Tetralogy of fallot four defects
Ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hyper trophy, aorta overriding the ventricular septal defect
Antihistamine action and side effect
Blocks the effects of histamine resulting in a decrease in nasal congestion, mucosal irritation and symptoms of common cold or allergy … May side effect is postural hypotension !!!
Anti inflammatory agents corticosteroid inhaler implication for PT
Instruct pt to rinse mouth with water after use to avoid irritation of local mucosa and advise them that these should not substitute Bronchodilators during acute asthma attack
What is heart sound is heard at the onset of diastole
S2
What is heard when vibrations of longer duration than the heart sound occur due to disruption of blood flow past a stenotic or regurgitating valve
Murmur
Lung sound auscultation with bell or diaphragm
Diaphragm- start at the apices and work downward, pt breathe in through mouth a little deeper than usual
Sudden opening and closing of airways
Dry crackles
Sound heard due to movement of fluid or secretions during inspiration
Wet crackles
Child and adolescent BMI in the 95th percentile or great is considered
Overweight or obese
For circumferential measurements how many sites per extremity are recommended
7
Procedure for claudication test
Pt walks on a flat track at max speed or on a treadmill at 2.0 mph at a constant grade between 0-12 %
Initial claudication distance
Pain free walking
Absolute claudication distance
Max distance walked when test had to be terminated due to pain
One small box amount of time?
.04 secs
One large box is
.2 secs- 1 second -5 large boxes
How many boxes in a 6 sec strip
30
Memorization method procedure
Find a qrs complex where the R hits directly on a dark line. The following dark line is 300, next dark line is 150-100-75-60-50
Rapid arterial depolarization from one foci
A flutter. Many p waves
Quivering of atrial with absent p wave
A fib
Controlled a fib
hr
Uncontrolled a fib
Hr >100
Monitor vital closely
Prolonged pr interval (longer than 3-5 cubes)
1st degree heart block - asymptomatic (no impact on co)
Progressive prolongation of PR interval until one impulse doesn’t get through
Second degree heart block - asymptomatic and rarely progresses to other blocks BENIGN
