Lesson 7 Flashcards
pulmonary edema causes
volume overload
LSHF
altered pulmonary capillary permeability
PEd symptoms
dyspnea
orthopnea
chest pain
weakness
PEd findings on patient
anything tach accessory muscle use pink sputum crackles/wheezes CPD decreased SPO2
PEd treatment
positioning
airway
O2/ventilation
IV
PEd meds
nitro
diuretics
asa
pulmonary edema heart failure type
left
pulmonary edema causes
lymphatic insufficiency
decreased oncotic pressure
eclampsia
what does decreased CO cause
catecholamine release
tachycardia
CPD
vascular resistance
pulmonary edema vitals
tachy accessory muscle use pink sputum crackle/wheeze CPD decreased SPO2
ETCO2
amount of CO2 in exhaled air
pulmonary edema treatment
airway SPO2 underlying causes IV nitro diuretics ASA 12L ECG
when to use ASA for pulmonary edema
if AMI is suspected
what does nitro do to preload
decreases it because it vasodilates
pulmonary embolus
fatal complication of underlying venous thrombosis
what is PE a result of
DVT deep venous thrombosis
where do most PE’s occur
in the calf
trauma/pregancy and surgery patents can get it anywhere
PE can cause
distal hypoxia and ischemia
obstructive shock and the hypertension that comes with it can restrict forward blood flow
PE symptoms
tachy chest pain hemoptysis BP changes SOB SPO2 equal airway
People found with PE have a classic triad what is that?
hemotypsis
dyspnea
chest pain
