anticoagulation. treat underlying conditions

31
Q

what is caused by high pressure vessels and is localized thinning of the arterial wall

A

aneurysm

32
Q

what are the diff types of aneurysms

A

saccular ( berry), fusiform, and dissecting

33
Q

what is a big risk factor for aneurysms

A

smoking and tobacco use

34
Q

what are some locations of an aneurysm

A

aortic arch, cerebral arteries, thoracic artery, and abdominal arteries

35
Q

what are the complications of an aneurysm

A

rupture ( hemorrhagic stroke), dissection ( ischemic stroke), and thrombus ( ischemic stroke)

36
Q

what are some tx options for aneurysm

A

endovascular stent / graft , clip ( used for berry aneurysms), endovascular coiling, blood thinner, and hypertensive meds

37
Q

where do most aneurysms occur

A

at the bifurcations in the circle of willis

38
Q

what is the commonly affected vessel in an aneurysm

A

anterior communicating artery

39
Q

which artery is the most CLINICALLY significant affected artery that can lead to 3rd nerve palsy

A

posterior communicating artery

40
Q

what are some common ocular manifestations of aneurysms

A

3rd nerve palsy , protein exudates in retina

41
Q

this is the maintenance of internal physiologic systems that allow communication of life; required to maintain the cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems

A

homeostasis

42
Q

what are the primary circulatory system components of homeostasis

A

pump, fluid volume, and closed circulatory system

43
Q

this condition is made of a diverse group of conditions due to inadequate tissue perfusion > homeostasis becomes compromised ; body wide shift to anaerobic metabolism ;

A

shock

44
Q

this condition is fatal if left untreated ; can cause cardiovascular collapse and organ failure

A

shock

45
Q

what are the two different mechanisms for cell death

A

inadequate cellular oxygenation-> anaerobic metabolism> inadequate energy production > metabolic failure of pumps > cell death

inadequate cellular oxygenation> anaerobic metabolism > lactic acid production > metabolic acidosis > cell death

46
Q

what are shocks MOA

inadequate oxygen delivery, impaired oxygen uptake, inadequate nutrient delivery

47
Q

which of shock MOA involve respiratory failure, hemorrhage or anemia, fluid loss and cardiac pump failure

48
Q

which of shock MOA involved biochemical poisoning ( hydrogen cyanide )

impaired oxygen uptake

49
Q

which of shock MOA involves malnutrition, GI absorption disorder, and lack of insuilin

A

inadequate nutrient delivery

50
Q

what is the final common pathway of stroke

A

metabolic acidosis/ cell death

51
Q

hypovolemic

53
Q

which form of shock involves ineffective cardiac pumping and MI

A

cardiogenic shock

54
Q

which form of shock involves decreased peripheral vascular tone ; blood pools in peripheral tissue

A

hypotonic shock/ anaphylactic

55
Q

what type of shock is a massive and systemic allergic reaction; large release of histamine; increases membrane permeability and vasodilation

A

anaphylactic shock

56
Q

this type of shock occurs due to systemic inflammatory response to secondary infection

A

septic shock

57
Q

this type of shock is caused by endotoxin or exotoxin and has a mortality rate of 25-50 %

A

septic shock

58
Q

all types of shock cause ______

A

myocardial pump failure ( decreased blood volume, increased vasodilation and increased vascular permeability)

59
Q

what are the stages of shock

A

compensatory, progressive, refractory

60
Q

which stage of shock involves normal BP, and adequate tissue perfusion

A

compensatory

61
Q

which stage of shock involves falling BP, reduced tissue perfusion, and tissue damage

A

progressive

62
Q

which stage of shock involves a low bp, inadequate tissue perfusion, and widespread organ failure

A

refractory

63
Q

what are some mechanisms of compensatory shock

A

progressive vasoconstriction, increased blood flow to major organs, increased cardiac output, increased respiratory rate and volume and decreased urine output

64
Q

how does compensatory shock present itself

A

normotensive, tachycardia, and decreased skin perfusion

65
Q

what type of shock is the last-ditch /desperate final attempt by the body

A

progressive shock

66
Q

how does progressive shock present itself

A

hypotension, tachycardia, tachypnea, oliguria, acidosis, agitation, restlessness, and confusion

67
Q

what type of shock is when death occurs even with homeostasis restoration ; complete failure of compensatory mechanisms

A

refractory shock

68
Q

what type of shock is when tissues become anoxic , widespread cellular death, vital organ failure, and death

A

refractory shock
