Q

Assist control

A

resting mode. must set rate, Vt (tidal vol- amount of air inhaled and exhaled), inspiratory time, and PEEP. ventilator sensitivity is also set, and when the pt initiates a spontaneous breath, a full volume breath is delivered. All breaths are of the same preset vol (ACV)

Q

Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation SIMV or IMV

A

Must set rate, Vt (Tidal vol), inspiratory time, sensitivity and PEEP. In between “mandatory breaths”h pts spontaneously breath at their own rates and Vt. with SIMV, the ventilator synchronizes the mandatory breaths with the pt’s own respirations. during spontaneous breaths receives pre set FiO2, but self regulates rate and vol. prevents muscle atrophy as the pt takes on more of the WOB.

Very Nice Drugs Dis(pines)- more vasodilation of coronary arteries. verapamil for dysrhythmia, diltiazem for both.s/e HA, hypertension, dizzy, peripheral edema, renal/hepatic dysfunctional, no beta blockers- cause HF

  • taper off or risk of rebound HTN
  • caution with HF, LV impairment, AV block; call dr if HR irreg. SOB, swelling, n/v, dizzy
28
Q

sympathomimetic drugs

A

dopamine and dobutamine- both- increase contractility and HR, dilates renal blood flow (more pp). both short term HF treatment, both continuous infusion, continuous monitor UO, ECG, and BP. Only dopamine increase after load, decrease CO, so dobutamine preferred. Dig only one can take PO/ long term. Both risk for tachycardia. dopamine for neurogenic shock. also NE (levophed), increase HR and BP and decrease UO

29
Q

beta blocker

A

prevent SNS stimulation, decrease atrial ectopic stimulation, for HTN, angina, Afib, a flutter take apical pulse before and call dr <60, if asthma want B1 selective, non selective also affects lungs≥ can mess up hypoglycemic response, don’t take with verapamil

30
Q

amiodarone

A

K channel block- prolong the action potential and refractory period of the cardiac cycle, decreases rate of depolarization, decrease contractility, PO- conversion of A fib, recurrent Vfib or Vtach. loading dose, filter, d5w
A/E pulm tox -baseline cxr and pulm fan test, baseline liver and thyroid, call with vision changes (blind), highly toxic, A/E may last for a while after d/c. no grapefruit= tox, sig increase risk of dig tox. first for AFIB, most widely used antidysrythmia drug. combo with ACEI or BB can cause bradycardia, risk of severe dysrhythmia increases with diuretic use- because of decrease in k and mg

31
Q

heparin

effective PT 1.5-2 times control (normal 12-13)

INR 2-3

33
Q

atropine

A

given for symptomatic sinus brady, and for both 2nd degree heart blocks, with o2. may do transcutaneous pacing. reverses parasympathetic slowing of the heart and increases HR

34
Q

norepinephren

A

sympathomimetic, used for shock to increase HR and BP, long term will injure kidneys. vasoconstriction, shunts blood away from extremities. decrease kidney perfusion- decrease UO, dilate pupils, glycogenesis, bronchioles open
norepinephrine-NE-levophed
epinephrine- give when pulseless, CPR, defibrillator

35
Q

lidocaine for

A

PVC, Vtach (with amiodarone),maybe with epi during asystole. without Vtach will convert to Vfib

36
Q

tetralogy of fallot

A

have a ventricle septal defect, an overriding aorta, pulmonic stenosis with resulting right ventricle hypertrophy. Severity depends on severity of stenosis

37
Q

coarctation of the aorta

A

narrowed at one point, hypertrophy of left ventricle, heart damage. HTN in upper extremities, hypotension in lower extremities. TX- balloon angioplasty, a little at a time to stretch out

38
Q

PVC

A

ectopic beat from ventricle, QRS usually >.12 sec, unifocal- same place, multifocal- different origins (PVCs look different) give lidocaine and o2 if symptomatic. sustained- more than 30 second run. 3+ in a row= Vtach. lower stress and stop stimulants

39
Q

LDH1 and 2

A

LDH 1 is heart and LDH 2 is serum, 2 should be larger, if 1 is larger- heart had issue

40
Q

risk factors for sudden cardiac death

A

usually caused by acute ventricular dysrhythmias (Vtach, Vfib). strongest predictors: left ventricular dysfunctional (EF < 30%) and Vent. dysrhythmias after MI. others: hx of syncope, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction/ aortic stenosis, male gender- especially african american, and family hx of left ventricular dysrhythmias. if witnessed- therapeutic cooling. use implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to prevent reoccurrence.

41
Q

post heart sx exercise

A

start slow- listen to body, limit isometric bc HR and BP rise quickly. do isoTONIC exercises- with movement. assess HR and keep in target limits- 80% of max or < 20 more than resting rate. If HR exceeds limit, or have chest pain or SOB, take a break. always warm up and cool down (5 min), aim for most days of week for at least 30 minutes.

42
Q

Before cardiac cath/pci

A

assess allergies (contrast), v/s, heart and breath sounds, pulses, skin temp, color, sensation of extremities, teach procedure, kidney fxn (mucomyst/acetylcysteine protects, you will have palpitations, hot and flushed all over

43
Q

post cath/pci

A

perform assessment again and compare with baseline. assess cath insert site for bleeding, monitor ECG for dysrhythmia, monitor for pain, monitor IV infusions of anticoagulants and anti platelet, teach about d/c meds and activity restrictions (asa, clopidegrel, nitro), assess q15min for first hour. monitor map and bp- if not correlating, something is leaking. monitor blood sugar. 5 Ps distal to puncture site. bed rest, flat, leg straight for 4-6 hrs, hold metformin next 48 hrs. notify dr if chest pain

44
Q

come in with crushing substernal chest pain

A

oxygen, nitro, asa, morphine, ekg, health hx

45
Q

carvedilol

A

peripheral alpha blocker for HTN, take at bedtime to avoid dizzy, orthohypo, avoid excessive exercise, prolonged standing (constricts) and heat (dilates). OD can cause profound bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm and carcinogenic shock. take BP standing 1 hour after amin to assess tolerance, titrate down- or may cause sweating, palpitations and HA

46
Q

Risk for CAD

A

HTN, tobacco use, inactivity, stress, anger, anxiety, obesity, diabetes, family hx heart d/s, white middle aged men, age, elevated serum lipids: total cholesterol over 200. HDL <50, LDL >160, triglycerides >150

47
Q

hemorrhagic shock

A

aka hypovolemic shock. tx- crystalloid fluid replacement and colloids (fluid loss, blood loss) blood loss may need plasma expanders/ blood products. sxs-dcreased cardiac output- fast thready pulse, low BP, tachycardia, dizzy, lethargic, anxious- lots of blood in spleen, femur, heart.

48
Q

cardiogenic shock

A

pump prob. tx- pressers, inatropes, treat underlying problem, drugs to increase cardiac output. sis- tachycardia, tachypnea, pulmonary edema- not pumping, blood backing up, low UO

49
Q

anaphylactic shock

A

sensitivity prob, bronchoconstriction, laryngospasm- all smooth muscle tighten, chest pain, third spacing, flush, sweat, swell, n/v/d. maintain airway potency, epinephrine, antihistamines, risk for decrease BP from getting leaky- IV fluids and 02

50
Q

neurogenic shock

A

within 30 min of above t5 spinal cord injury. last up to 6 wks, lose sympathetic tone, heart rate slow, veins dilate- low bp, cold, dry skin, risk for hypothermia. lose reflexes. tx- vasopressors (dopamine), corticosteroid, may need to be paced or inatrope, may need ventilator, do need O2, maintain blood pressure and temperature (keep warm)

51
Q

distributive shock

A

lose perfusion to peripheral veins, neurogenic, anaphylactic and septic

52
Q

CO and Cardiac index

A

co=stroke vol X HR, CO is usually 4-8 L/min

cardiac index= CO/Body surface area (BSA). this adjusts the CO to boxy size. normal CI is 2.8 to 4.2

53
Q

ventricular remodeling

A

to compensate for damaged heart, unaffected ventricle hypertrophies and dilates. also, affected area grows scar tissue- don’t want it too large/stiff. ACE inhibitors can prevent or reverse ventricular remodeling. if pt can’t handle ACEI- then give ARB

54
Q

ventricle aneurysm

A

risk for 6 weeks- slowly increase activity and be mindful. sx: HF sxs, dysrhythmia, or angina. aneurysm harbor thrombi- risk of embolic stroke

55
Q

V tach w/ pulse tx

A

lidocaine and o2 first, epi (keep perfusing), amiodarone, maybe cardioversion. no pulse- epi, cpr, defib. monomorphic- all qrs look the same, polymorphic- look different, like tornadoes de points

56
Q

a fib tx

A

amiodarone first (if symptomatic ) anticoagulants, most common dysrhythmia, irregular rhythm

57
Q

premature atrial complex pac tx

A

no tx- find and tx underlying cause of atria irritation- caffeine, stress, hypok, CHF, MI..

58
Q

A flutter

A

59
Q

2 degree AVB type 1

A

wenkebach. progressive prolongation of PR interval, bradycardia. if sxs- atropine to increase HR

60
Q

pacemakers for

A

symptomatic 2nd degree AVB type 2, 3rd degree AVB, Sinus brady (if atropine did not work, or suppression of persistent tachycardia. synchronous is synched with your heart- so only fires when needs to. a synchronous- has a set rate. fail to capture- regular rate, turn up. failure to sense- irregular rate of spikes- pacemaker malfunction

61
