39
Q

Radiography of pericarditis

A

CXR - no value

40

A

pericardiocentesis

44
Q

Labs for pericarditis

A

elevated WBC, uremia, +Strep tests, +blood cultures, UA, ESR, TSH, ANA/RF, Troponin

45
Q

If you suspect purulent pericarditis, then you must

A

do periocardiocentesis for culture and sensitivity

46
Q

Treatment if pericarditis is viral or idiopathic

A

NSAIDS 1-3 wk

47
Q

If you suspect purulent pericarditis, treat w/

A

> 4 wks of ABX

48
Q

Poor prognostic indicators for pericarditis

A

immunosuppression, myocarditis, pericardial effusion, fever, trauma, NSAID failure, anticoagulant use

49
Q

Constrictive Pericarditis

A

result of pericardial injury

Fibrous thickening of pericardium

50
Q

A

Cardiac trauma/intrapericardial bleeding, Open heart surgery

Fungal, tb, or uremic pericarditis

51
Q

Sx of Constrictive Pericarditis

A

dyspnea (worse w/ exertion), PND, orthopnea, LE edema, JVD, chest pain

52
Q

Heart sounds w/ Constrictive Pericarditis

A

Pericardial knock

53
Q

Cardiac Tamponade

A

Compression of heart by fluid in pericardium, equal pressure in all 4 chambers -> death

54
Q

Sx for Cardiac Tamponade

A

Beck’s Triad, tachycardia, pulsus paradoxus

55
Q

Do steroids typically treat pericarditis?

A

No, only in the case of Dressler’s Syndrome!

56
Q

Sx of Shock

A

hypotension, tachycardia (1st), oliguria, altered mental status, peripheral hypoperfusion

57
Q

Shock physiology

A

arterial BF cannot meet tissue demands -> hypoxia of tissues -> anaerobic metabolism & lactic acidosis

58
Q

Lactic serves as

A

diagnostic and prognostic indicator

59
Q

Hypovolemic Shock physiology

A

decreased volume, compensation by vasoconstriction after 15% loss, TPR increases, but CO, PCWP and venous return decreases = shock

60
Q

Causes of Hypovolemic Shock

A

trauma, blood loss, fluid/electrolyte imbalance, GI bleed, vomiting/diarrhea

61
Q

Sx of Hypovolemic Shock

A

Oliguria, AMS, cool extremities, diaphoresis, pale

62
Q

Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure

A

reflects left atrial filling pressure- tells us if there is enough fluid to fill the heart

63
Q

Treatment for hypovolemic shock

A

Isotonic Saline (.9) Lactate Ringers, Transfusion

64
Q

Cardiogenic Shock

A

cardiac failure and heart can’t maintain CO = tissue hypoxia

65
Q

What is seen on ECHO of heart during Cardiogenic Shock

A

Wall motion abnormality due to decreased left ventricular contractility

66
Q

Sx of Cardiogenic Shock

A

Oliguria, mental status changes, diaphoresis, cool extremities, jugular venous pressure is elevated, pulmonary edema

67
Q

Cardiogenic Shock is associated w/ what type of HF

Low-ouput

68
Q

Findings w/ Cardiogenic Shock

A

elevated PCWP

69
Q

How do you differ b/w cardiogenic and hypovolemic shock?

A

Hx & ECHO:
Cardiogenic: decreased left ventricular contractility
Hypovolemic: small LV d/t poor filling, contractility is okay

70
Q

Obstructive Shock Causes
