Cardiac Flashcards
(95 cards)
Ischemia is what
Pain
How do you asses chest pain
Provokes Quality Radiation Severity Timing
Snapshot in time
ECG
What does chest x ray show
Heart size and fluid lungs
What does echo show
Chambers and valves
What does a TEE show
Behind heart looking for clots
What does MRI show
Home organ soft tissue
Acute intermittent chest pain syndrome caused by imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand and supply resulting in ischemia
Angina
Angina that occurs with exertion relieved by rest
Stable angina
Severe pain not relieved by rest requires more nitro
Unstable
Teaching with nitro
One tablet every five min times 3 store dark bottle dry place
What is nitro action
Smooth muscle relaxant vasodilator
Caused by reduced blood flow to an area of the myocardium resulting in significant and sustained oxygen deprecation
Acute myocardial infarction
Asses,net of a pt with an MI
Sudden chest pain can radiate down neck arms jaw skin cool clammy pale diaspore tic nitro does not help pain
Nursing interventions with someone having a heart attack
Morphine
Oxygen
Nitro
Aspirin
What does morphine do
Decreases anxiety pain smooth muscle relaxant decreases preload and afterload
Teaching with aspirin
Chewable 81mg 2-4
What does beta blockers do
Decreases heart rate and contractility
What do ACE inhibitors do
Decreases stroke volume
What does phosphodiasterase do
Increase contractility decrease afterload
What does dopamine do
Stimulates adrenergic receptors treats low cardiac output
What does doubt amine do
Ehances contractility av co blood flow
Which is low and high pressure of heart
Left high power house
Right low
Pressure equals
Flow times resistance
