Q

most common A line

A

radial

30
Q

if transducer is too high _____

31
Q

if transducer is too low _____

it will give a false high BP

32
Q

transducer should be at the ___________ space

33
Q

A

replaces the rim on the mitral or tricuspid valves

34
Q

valve replacement
mechanical

A

metallic or synthetic material
highly durable and can last a lifetime

BUT requires lifelong anticoagulation to decrease the risk of thromboembolism

35
Q

valve replacement
tissue or biologic

A

human, cow, or pig tissue
durability is 10-20 years

BUT no lifelong anticoagulation required

36

A

minimally invasive
used for aortic valve only
NO restrictions or precautions

used for patients that are higher risk and cannot undergo heart surgery

37
Q

aneurysm

A

a localized, blood filled balloon like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel

as size increases, risk for rupture increases

38

aneurysm can lead to

A

bleeding
hypovolemic shock
death

ascending thoracic
aortic root
aortic arch

40

A

minimally invasive method to manage abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysms

NO PRECAUTIONS
**idea procedure

42
Q

diet and nutrition

47
Q

oxygen requirement

A

Any patient with a resting PO2 of less than 55 mm Hg on room air or an oxygen percentage saturation of less than 88%

48
Q

PaO2 levels (normal, mild, moderate, severe hypoxemic)

A

normal= 80-100
mild= 60-80
moderate= 40-60
severe= <40

49
Q

body postures/positions that may affect respiration

A

Kyphosis and scoliosis [limit vital capacity and hence exercise capacity]
Assuming the professorial position
Often unable to lie in a flat, supine position
Typically assume a semi-Fowler’s position

50
Q

central cyanosis

A

caused by diseases of the heart or lungs, or abnormal hemoglobin

Discoloration is systemic – skin would be colored

51
Q

peripheral cyanosis

A

is caused by decreased local circulation and increased extraction of oxygen in the peripheral tissues.

Discoloration is regional

52
Q

First heart sound/S1
Lub

A

associated with the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves

corresponds with the onset of ventricular systole

results from reverberation within the blood associated with the sudden block of flow reversal by the valves

Blood blocked from entering ventricles from the atria

53
Q

The second heart sound/S2
Dub

A

associated with the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves

corresponds with the start of ventricular diastole

results from reverberation within the blood associated with the sudden block of flow reversal

Blood blocked from the ventricles into the pulmonary artery and aorta

54
Q

Third heart sound/S3
Lub-dub-dub

A

occurs early in diastole while the ventricle is rapidly filling
Normal in healthy children or young adults
Abnormal in an older, physically inactive person or in the presence of heart disease
it typically indicates a loss of ventricular compliance
often called a ventricular gallop (overstretched)

55
Q

Fourth heart sound (S4)
La-lub-dub

A

occurs late in diastole, just before S1
Also known as atrial gallop
is not normal and is associated with an increased resistance to ventricular filling
hypertensive cardiac disease, coronary artery disease, or pulmonary disease
