Final Flashcards
To be considered functionally independent, a person must be able to walk at which speed?
1 MPH
Bradycardia-
60bpm
-Tachycardia-
100 bpm
Thrombus-
a blood clot that forms in a blood vessel and remain at the site of formation
Embolus-
blood clot that becomes lodged in a blood vessel and obstructs it flow
-Myocardial infarction-
heart attack
-Angina pectoris
chest pain, unable to supply the heart with enough oxygen
What is stroke volume?
-Amount of blood pumped out by the L ventricle in one contraction
Chambers of the heart and where the blood goes
-Sup/inferior vena cava, R atrium, tricuspid valve, R ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, L atrium, bicuspid/mitral valve, L ventricle, aorta.
- Right atrium/ ventricle
Body
-Left atrium/ventricle-
Lungs
CHF left or right
-The heart’s inability to pump blood: (L) pulmonary edema, (R) LE dependent edema
Cardiac drugs-
Nitroglycerin dilates arteries to ↓ angina, treat HTN –– ACE inhibitor, Beta blocker, Calcium Channel blocker - in conjunction with diuretic ↑ BP and leads to OH
Signs of Angina/MI
hand to chest
Angina-
Temporary pain, suddent onset, pain may radiate, last 1-5 min, relieved with rest or nitroglycerin
MI-
sudden constant pain or pressure, pain radiate up neck and down arm, SOB, profuse perspiration, unexplained fatigue
-Vital Capacity-
volume of air expelled from lungs by max exhalation after max inhalation
Residual volume
volume of air remaining in lungs after maximum exhalation-Which airway constriction is reversible: Asthma
-Hypoxemia-
-Below norm 02 content in arterial blood due to deficient oxygenation of theblood and result to hypoxia (lower than normal oxygen concentration in arterial blood)
-Hypoxia:
loower than normal oxygen level in tissues
Cyanosis
bluish color of the skin and mucous membranes caused by an insufficient amount of oxygen in the blood
-apnea-
cessation of breathing
Know what COPD
A combination of airway narrowing, parenchymal (tissue of an organ) destruction and pulmonary vascular thickening- Difficulty getting air out - Residual volume increase - Exhale 2x as long- PLB
Pursed lip
breathe out 2x as long, no accessory muscles,
Diaphragmatic
→ use diaphragm
Pulmonary edema positioning
Do not elevate feet as it increases pulmonary pressure. Head at 30-45 degree
Physical changes with COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; blue bloater, pink puffer, barrel chest, clubbed fingers
Stratum corneum
superficial, waterproof layer
Stratum basal
deep, contains melanocytes
Epidermis
outermost layer, contain melanocytes, Langerhans cell, and merkel cell
Dermis-
- papillary dermis and reticular dermis, contain blood and lymphatic vessels, nerve fiber, hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands
Subcutaneous-
contain major blood vessel, lymph vessels and nerve
Inflammation
WBC’s move in, macrophages, granulocytes, redness, warmth, swelling
Proliferation
Healthy blood supply, nutrients, proteins provide highly vascular granulation tissue
Maturation
Fibroblasts secrete collagen to form scar tissue, wound begins to heal
Inflammation:
normal tissue respond Increase blood flow for healing Vasoconstriction then vasodilation
Proliferation:
Angiogenesis (blood vessels/capillaries)
Granulation tissue (beefy red)
epithelization (new tissue fills wound)
Fibroblast secrete collagen
Remodeling:
Type III to Type I collagen, scar contracts and mature, decreased capillaries
