What can causes Sinus Bradycardia and can you work with this patient?

Perfectly

A patient that has a sinus arrhythmia, can you work with them?

This would be considered a benign arrhythmia, because conduction is normal. This arrhythmia typically happens at rest, with exercise patient should become normal due to the changes with breathing and intra-throacic pressure. COMMON in AEROBIC athletes.

Perfectly

What type of Arrhythmia is a sinus pause or drop beat?

If a patient had a lot of drop beats, more than 6 in a minute the would become light-headed and symptomatic. This arrhythmia can only bet detected through a HOLTER MONITOR, can be due to a congenital abnormality. Treat with Pacemakers.

Perfectly

What type of arrhythmia is a premature atrial contraction, can you work with this patient?

p-wave more rounded, R-R is regular, one isolated beat, which came early. P wave and q wave look like all the others. considered benign because there is a p wave, normal conduction.

Describe paroxymal atrial tachycardia and can you work with this patient?

normal conduction–>to supraventricular tach, usually seen with mitral valve dysfunction, if HR over 100 probably can’t work with this patient.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Describe atrial flutter and can you work with this patient?

avaiant p waves, look at the rate, if its less than a 100 you can work with the patient, just takes conduction a little longer to get to the AV node because atria are ‘fluterring”

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Define Pre-mature nodal contraction and can you work with this patient?

This is a benign arrythmia, no p-wave but has nomral qrs, you can work with them because AV node is still working

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Would you work with a patient that displayed “Bradycardia”?

this person is probably symtomatic, so you wouldn’t work with them, you would treat with pace maker.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Describe Junctional/Supraventricular tachycardia.

normal, QRS, no p-wave and very fast rate.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

R on T PVC are considered, couplets?

life threatening, couplets are very dangerous.

V-Fib is considered…

a medical emergency,get AED, call code.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Describe first degree AV block and can we work with this patient?

longer than normal time to get to the av node so PR interval is longer but usually a begin block.

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Type 1 second degree block is common in what type of a patient?

RCA blockage, infract or ischemia, treated with temp pacemaker, probably wouldn’t be seeing this patient, because they would most likely be in the ER

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

Type II Second degree block, where a beat drops twice, work with is patient?

nope, pacemaker

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

What is the signature of a bundle branch block?

notched QRS

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

What should you monitor changes (HISBED), what are the symtpoms that a patient maybe be having an arrhythmia?

palpitations, dizziness, SOB, racing heart...
HYPOXIA
ISCHEMIA
Bradycardia
Electrolyte disturbance (postassium)
Drugs (digoxin)

just have one PVC in a 6 sec strip you probably could exercise as long as the rate is alright.

Perfectly

What is the normal range for cardiac index and how is it calculated?

2.6-4.2, a low cardiac index = poor contractility of the left ventricle, cardiac output/body surface area.

Perfectly

If a patient has an LVAD, what vitals will you not be able to measure appropiately?

BP, pulse ox, HR. need to use RPE, and MAP.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

What are the factors for heart transplant candidacy?

less than 1 year to live
VO2max<14mg/o2…
no other organ damage
appropriate BMI
no smoking/drinking
Family support.
no cancer.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

A patient who has a heart transplant, their vitals may change how?

elevated resting HR and may take up to 5 minutes to see a rise in HR with exercise.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

T/F you can rehab someone with an LVAD as early as 2 weeks post op?

t (watch for decreased o2 sta, OH, ataxia, big changes SBP)

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

PREDISONE(cortiocosteriod) side effects?

Study These Flashcards

osteoporosis, proximal muscle weakness…

Immunosupressants can cause

kidney issues, increase infection rate, high potassium, muscle weakness, GI problems

The main complication to LVAD is

infection and clotting

AV node disorders and bradycardia usually require the patient to have a

pacemaker. (infection be aware of)

What are the qualification to cardiac resynchronization therapy?

EF/= 120 msec, NYHA Class 3 or ambulatory class 4, after “drug therapy” is exhausted. Step before LVAD.

AICDS are used when?

only for life threatening arrhtymias, Runs of V-Tach Low EF Coupled PVCs Fast and abnormal heart rates

Relations of diabetes and adhesive capsulitis

collagen can build up affects circulation, which can affect healing glucose in the blood MAJOR PROBLEM (binds to collagen)

What happens to EF after an aneurysmectomy?

INCREASE, attaching contractile tissue to contractile tissue.

What is the major side effect to amiodarone-anti-arrhytmic?

trial fib. toxicity is possible in pulmonary Toxicity ARDS, so be careful if patient complains of changes in breathing.

Phases of Cardiac Rehab

Phase 1: Acute Care, inpatient Phase 2: Outpatient, Early post incident Rehab ( a lot more monitoring and conditioning) Phase 3: Outpatient ( maintenance) -medicare doesn’t pay for this Phase 4: Pre-preventative lifestyle modification -not typically covered

What is covered under medicare?

MI CABG heart transplant other cardiac procedures

Scolosis will affect the lung on which side?

the convex side

What is special about the conducting zone?

has muscle around it, resistance in the airway, bronchoconstriction

Where does gas exchange take place in the lung?

alveolar ducts and sacs

why does running in cold weather hurt?

cold weather causes bronchocontriction.

where is surfactant made?

pores of kohn

if a patient has trouble getting air out, what type of disorder do they have?

obstructive.

Restricted disease, what does the person have trouble with?

taking air in

PARAMETERS indicating lack of readiness in the ICU to be mobilized.

``` SpO2 < 88% or 10% desat below rest RR > 35 breaths/min PEEP >10 cm H2O FiO2 > 0.59 Cardiovascular Measures MAP 120 mmHg or > 10 lower than NL--LVAD RHR 140 bpm Systolic BP 200 mm Hg New arrhythmia developed New onset angina like chest pain Laboratory Values HCT < 8 g/dL NO exercise , may want to limit exercise, Dr. Hillegass doesnt agree with NO EXERCISE Platelets < 20,000/mm3 NO exercise Anticoagulation INR .>2.5-3.0 discuss with physician Metabolic Measures Glucose levels < 70 or > 200 mg/dL ```

Contraindications for Early Mobility?

``` Significant change in resting ECG Unstable angina Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, severe Uncontrolled symptomatic heart failure Suspected or known dissecting aneurysm Uncontrolled active bleeding Acute respiratory failure Acute pulmonary embolus: NOT on anticoagulants Acute neurological changes Severe combativeness Acute, unstable fracture Acute untreated compartment syndrome too much sedation, neuro changes ```

Minute Ventilation Formula, increases with exercise

VE= tidal volume x RR

What is the anatomic dead space?

not invovled in gas exhange. 150ml (air breathed in)

what does the valsva manuver do?

There is an intial increase in bp, but over decreases bp and increase intrathoroacic pressure, decreases hr.

How to calculate if it's obstructive vs. restrictive disorder?

FEV1/FVC if this ratio is less than 70 then it's obstructive disorder can't get air out, if greater than 70 restrictive (can't take air in).

What imaging is the gold standard to detect lung cancer?

MRI

What is the Gold standard for PE?

Spiral CT

What can ventilation perfusion scans detect?

PET scan can detect

metastasis
