regurgitation
- valve does not close completely | - blood flow backs up
26
stenosis
- narrowed, valve does not open completely - forward blood flow hindered - decreases cardiac output
27
right- sided heart failure
- left-sided heart failure major cause must continually pump blood against increased fluid in the pulmonary artery and lungs - cor pulmonale: right ventricle hypertrophies and fails due to increased pulmonary pressures - a backward buildup of blood systematic blood vessels - peripheral edema results - backs into body= edema, jugular vein distension - body can attain a liter of fluid before showing signs: weigh pt.
28
left- sided heart failure
- afterload: force generated by left ventricle to eject blood to the aorta through aortic valve - peripheral vascular resistance: pressure within aorta/arteries - pvr influences afterload - hypertension major cause - blood backs up from left ventricle into lungs into pulmonary circulation= flooded capillaries - avelora edema

176
traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- usually caused by sudden and violent blow or just to the head (closed injury) or a penetrating (open injury) head wound that disrupts the normal brain function
177
traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can
bruise the brain damage nerve fibers cause hemorrhaging
178
traumatic brain injuries (TBI) causes
``` falls being struct by against an object motor vehicle accidents sports acitvies intestinal self harm ```
179
traumatic brain injuries (TBI) conditions associated with closed tbi
concussion: momentary interruption of brain function - usually results from a mild blow to the head that causes sudden movement of the brain, disrupting neurologic functioning - may or may not lead to a loss of consciousness - amnesia, confusion, sleep disturbances, and headaches may occur for weeks or months cerebral contusion: bruising of the brain - most often results from a blunt blow that causes the brain to make a sudden impact with the skull coup: initial area where the brain the skull contrecoup: opposite side of brain where it rebounds and impacts the skull - varies in severity depending on the extent of damage and the amount of bleeding - residual effects depend on severity
180
transient ischemic attack
- temporary episode of cerebral ischemia that results in the symptoms of neurologic deficits - also called ministries because these neurologic deficits mimic a cerebrovascuale accident (CVA) or stroke except that these deficits resolve within 24 hours (1-2 hours in most cases) - may occur singly or in a series
181
transient ischemic attack warning signs
warning sign that a cva may be impending; however, not all cvas are preceded by tia - 1&3 people experienceing a tia eventually have a stroke hold occur within the year
182
transient ischemic attack can occur
because of a cerebral artery occlusion, cerebral artery narrowing, cerebral artery injury
183
transient ischemic attack additional risk factors
- migranes - smoking - diabestes mellitus - advancing age - inadequate nutrition, hypercholesterolemia, oral contraceptive usage, excessive alcohol combustion, illicit drug use
184

191
cerebrovascular accident treatment
- requires prompt treatment to minimize brain damage - determining whether the cva ischemic or hemorrhagic on origin prior to treatment - treatment should be delivered within 3 hours of symptom onset
192

201
pressure injuries
- soft tissue injuries that result of unrelieved mechanical pressure - results in areas of necorsis and ulceration where the tissue is compressed between bony prominences and extrernal hard surfaces - can develop in 1-2 hours if pressure is not relieved - classification using a stagng system but not all injuries follow a linear progression
202

206
stage 3
full thickness skin loss with damage to sub q tissue down to the underlying fascia
207
stage 4
full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, and damage to exposed supporting structures
208
deep tissue injury
skin may or may not be intact | underlying tissue is damaged
209
unstageable
full thickness skin tissue loss in which the extent of damage cannot be determined because it is hidden by slough or eschar
210
pressure injuries complications
challenging mitigating factors - ulcers can become infected with hospital acquired - antibitoic resistant organism - sinus tracts - osteomyelitis - cellutitis - tissue calcifcation - bactermia - meningitis - endocaridits - squamous cell carcinoma
211

physical examination | additional test depending upon the stage
212
pressure injuries treatment
