GILES Flashcards
What medication prolongs the PR interval on the ECG by increasing conduction time through the AV node
Digitalis
ECG of px with CHF and taking digitalis what effect would you expect
Lengthened PR interval
Medication given to increase the force of myocontractility for CHf pxs
Digitalis
Medication that increases contractility, cardiac output and decreases pre load, cardiac work load and myocardial oxygen demand thus reducing the clinical effects of CHF
Digitalis
Inherited d/o charac by rapid worsening ms weakness that starts in proximal ms of the LE and pelvis and later affects all voluntary ms
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Inflammation of vertebra
Spondylitis
Defect in pars inter articularis or the arch of vertebra
mc in L5
Spondylolysis
Forward displacement of one vertebrae over another
Spindylolisthesis
Vertebral body is shifted completely off the adjacent vertebral body(grade 5)
Spondyloptosis
Decrease in circulating WBC
Leukopenia
Topical antibiotic that works by interferring c bacterial nuclei acid production
Silver sulfadiazine
Topical agent that alters pH
Medenide acetate

Alkalinity
Stationary arm in measuring cervical rotation
Imaginary line bw two acromial process
Moving arm in measuring cervical rotation
Tip of the nose
Maximum volume of gas that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation
Vital capacity
Additional vol of air that can be exhaled beyond the normal tidal exhalation
Expiratory reserve vol
Additional vol of air that can be inhaled beyond the normal tidal inhalation
Inspiratory reserve vol
Maximum volume to which lungs can be expanded. It is the sum of VC and RV
Total lung capacity
Obtaining a positive test among who have the dse
Sensitivity
Obtaining negative test among individuals s the dse
Specificity
Potentially stops the sbn rhythm and allows the heart to begin to beat normally by administrating a electric shock
AED
Automated external defibrillator
Low back that is not relieved by positioning in flexion(can potentially relieve) or extension but diminished c rest
Neurogenic claudication
Common side effect of spinal stenosis
Neurogenic claudication
