Cardiopulmonary Part Twelve Flashcards
ST segment represents
the beginning of ventricular repolarization
EKG appearance of ventricular tachycardia
wide QRS
no P waves
what does the patient look like with MI
restless
pale
diaphoretic
cool
what is cold uritcaria
allergic-like response producing hives or welts on the skin following exposure to cold
how does lung pathology contribute to cor pulmonale
produces pulmonary artery HTN that creates a problem fo the right ventricle
is Raynaud’s a contraindication to cryotherapy
yes
on the GCS, a patient who extends their arm in response to pain would be given a score of
2
a weak and thready pulse may be due to
low stroke volume
normal HR average
70 bpm
the motor subscale of the GCS is graded ranged from __-___
1-6
T wave represents
ventricular repolarization
a lowboy tank (whirlpool) is used for
immersion of larger body parts in sitting
can extend LEs in sitting
what does heart failure do to preload
increased end diastolic pressures (preload)
on the GCS, a patient who opens their eyes in response to speech would be given a score of
3
what can chest x-ray reveal
abnormalities of lung fluid
overall cardiac shape and size
aneurysms
S2 indicates
S2:
normal closure of aortic and pulmonary valves
end of systole
drugs for heart failure
digitalis

on the GCS, a patient who can localize the source of pain and move their hand toward it would be given a score of
5
a walk tank (whirlpool) is used for
full body immersion with the patient in an upright posture
what can cryoglobulinemia lead to
ischemia and gangerne if prolonged exposure
is cancer a contraindication to cryotherapy
no
what do diuretics do
decrease preload and afterload
control HTN
for angina, what sided ventricular function can be affected
left
S4 indicates
MI
