n202 final Flashcards
lidocaine
Na Channel blockers
propafenone (Rythmol)
Na Channel blockers
quinidine
Na Channel blockers
procainamide
Na Channel blockers
Na Channel blockers
slow down depolarization
treat: PVC, V-tach, V-fib
reduce sympathetic vasoconstriction, renin secretion, HR, contractility, BP, 02 demand, prevents remodeling
Beta adrenergic receptor blockers
labetalol (Normodyne)
alpha-beta receptor blocker
+peripheral vasodilation
Metroprolol aka
Lopressor
Na+ Channel Blockers Tx
PVC, V-tach, V-fib
Epoprostenol (flolan)
promotes pulm. vasodilation
reduces pulm. vascular resistance.
No effect on SVR
Right ventricular enlargement
Cor Pulmonale
Virchow’s triad:
- Venous stasis
- Endothelial injury (intimal)
- Hypercoagulability
- Sudden onset dyspnea *
- Feelings of apprehension or anxiety *
- Tachypnea*
- Tachycardia*
PE
Pt determines VT, rate, and inspiratory time.
Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) (no machine breaths)
High flow gas delivered
Btwn “mandatory breaths” pt can spontaneously breathe at own RR & VT
RR, VT, inspiratory time, sensitivity, & PEEP of mandatory breaths set
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
