misc. Flashcards
What are the 4 types of shock?
Cardiogenic, Extracardiac, Distributive, hypovolemic
Examples of distributive/disassociatve shock
decreased VR, sepsis, spinal cord injury, anaphylaxis, poison
Examples of extracardiac shock
cardiac tamponade, stroke, PE, pulmonary HTN, constricitve pericarditis
What is the shock index?
HR/Ps >1
What are the 5 SIRS criteria?
temp, pulse, resp, CO2, WBC
Shock without diaphoresis is typically which type?
Distributive/Dissacotiate
Which types of shock are due to lack of delivery?
Extracardiac, hypovolemic, cardiogenic - distributive is too much demand
What drugs decrease mortality in Systolic heart failure
ACE, ARB, spirolactone, cavedolol
What drugs should not be used in Diastolic heart failure?
no diuretics/vasodilators
What would a systolic crescendo-decrescendo murmur be?
aortic stenosis
What are some symptoms of aortic stenosis?
angina, syncope, DOE
How do you treat mitral valve prolapse?
You monitor it - common in younger women.
When are holo-systolic murmurs heard?
Tricupsid insufficency and mitral regurgitation
How do you treat a Non-STEMI?
per cutaneous cardiac intervention and medication
What are the four most common causes of chest pain?
1 acute coronary syndrome (MI/angina)
2 PTX
3 PE
4 aortic dissection
What are the three types of angina?
stable, Prinzmetal (at rest), unstable
Possible treatments for STEMI coronary event?
FRAC - fibrinolytics, Rx, angioplasty, CABG
If you can’t give a patient ASA for acute coronary syndrone, give them this/
Clopidogrel
For a high risk cardio patient having angina treatment would include these steps.
Nitro, Heparin, repeat Troponin, repeat EKG
Some reasons for a false + troponin?
sepsis
kidney ds
a. fib
What are some examples of autonomic dysfunction causing syncope?
LBD - parkinson
secondary - diabetic, amyloid, spinal cord injury
How do you treat stable V tach vs unstable V tach?
unstable- cardiovert
stable- IV amiodarone, synchronize cardioversion, ICD, Beta blockers
What are some causes of neural syncope?
vasovagal (bowel movement, sight of blood), situational (cough), carotid sinus syncope (shaving, massage)
How do you treat stable V tach vs unstable V tach?
unstable- cardiovert
stable- IV amiodarone, synchronize cardioversion, ICD, Beta blockers
