Test 2 Flashcards
When do you perform rescue PCI?
- Cardiogenic shock <75
- Severe HF, pulmonary edema
- Hemodynamically compromising ventricular arrhythmia
- Fibrinolytic therapy has failed and a moderate or large area of myocardium is at risk
What are the traditional cardiac risk factors, that are no longer helpful >40?
- HTN
- Diabetes
- Tobacco
- Fam hx
- Hypercholesterolemia
How do you diagnose COPD?
Spirometry FEV1: <80%,
FEV1: forced vital capacity:
Legionella presentation?

Dilated
Hallmark symptoms and physical findings of COPD?
Chronic and progressive dyspnea, cough and sputum production. Tachypnea, accessory muscle use, and pursed lip exhalation, skinny w/ gut
Phegmasia cerulea dolens requires what?
Rapid action to reduce venous pressure, get cathereter directed thrombodylysis
Respiratory acidosis when?
Pco2 >44
35-45
If ph is <7.35 then there is an acute and uncompensated metabolic acidosis present

What are the hallmarks of tension pneumo?
Tracheal deviation away from involved side, hyperresonance on the affected side, hypotension, and significant dyspnea
Unstable angina should not have what?
Troponin
