Q

When can Chest tubes be clamped for > 1 minute

A
  • to change drainage unit
  • to locate air leak

VITALS
Resp and O2: auscultation, LOC, ABGs, Sp02, skin, mucous membranes, resp effort
Level of pain

Q

Complications r/t chest tubes

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Chest tube placement (cause of tension pneumothorax)
  • infection at the insertion site
  • pneumonia
  • shoulder disuse
24
Q

PICC Line

Study These Flashcards
A

Line in the basilic or cephalic vein and threaded through the subclavian vein into superior vena cava

25
Nontunneled central venous catheter
At internal jugular OR subclavian vein
26
Tunnelled catheter
Has cuff that tissue grows into to prevent movement of CVC
27
Implanted Port
silicone catheter attached to metal or plastic reservoir which has self-sealing septum for needle access
28
Nursing management of Implanted port, PICC, and CVC
- manage and assess site - dressing changes and line/cap management - admin medications (IVP or intermittent) - withdraw blood - discontinue when ordered
29
Each Shift Site Assessment of CVC, PICC, or implanted port
Skin: redness, swelling, leakage, phlebitis S&S of infection Length of Device (migration?) Security of DRSG, sutures, or securing device
30
When to flush PICC
After blood withdrawal, after blood admin, before & after med admin, maintenance of unused lumen.
31
Withdrawing blood from CVC or PICC
Order required!! Withdraw from any lumen except from one dedicated to parenteral nutrition/meds All IV infusions turned off before withdrawal Lumen flush immediately following sampling using turbulent flow
32
Removal of CVC
Remove on exhalation, apply pressure for 5 mins, lie flat for 30 mins following
33
Removal of PICC
Extend arm out at 90 degree angle and do not manipulate arm above site - apply pressure for 15 mins
34
Complications of CVADS
Infection, air embolism, VTE, catheter occlusion, displacement of catheter, pneumo/hemothorax (during insertion), phlebitis, extravastion
35
Atherosclerosis
- endothelial lining reactions to hyperlipidemia and HTN - inflammatory response - platelets activate and aggravate - macrophage infiltration - uptake of lipids - causes blockage
36
CAD modifiable risk factors
elevated serum lipids, HTN, smoking, T2DM, stress, inactivity, obesity
37
CAD non-modifiable risk factors
Gender (men> chance), T1DM, age, genetics, family hx, ethnicity
38
Assessment of pt with angina
family hx subjective/objective data blood work ECG Echo Exercise testing Cardiac Cath
39
Subjective Data for Angina
- OPQRSTUV - MAY be normal VS and wt - MAY be no outward signs
40
Objective Data for Angina
Vitals Focused CV and pulmonary assessment (auscultate heart and lungs, skin color, edema, peripheral tissue perfusion, pulses, wt, JVD, signs of HF, level of functional ability)
41
Serum Cardiac markers
Proteins released when damages have occured
42
Blood work for Cardio
Serum Cardiac Markers - CK - CK MB - Troponin 1
43
CK’s
Cardiac muscle damage
44
CK MB
Specific to myocardial tissue
45
Troponin-1
MOST SPECIFIC N=<0.3ng/mL
46
Electrocardiogram
Easy and cost-effective, identiy QRS or ST segment
47
Changes in ST segment
Early stage of ventricular recovery - reflect ischemia of myocardial tissue
48
Drugs given for angina
Beta-blockers ACE-inhibitors Vasodilators Anticoagulant regiman Calcium channel blockers Other antiplatelets
49
Beta-blockers
Slow HR, decrease workload and allow heart to fill
50
ACE-inhibitors
decrease afterload, prevent ventricular remodelling
51
Nitroglycerin
Coronary vasodilator, SL x3 doses
52
Calcium channel blockers
Help heart beat more effectively
53
Exercise stress test
Exercise while attached to ECG to evaluate myocardial tissue perfusion - pharm (drug-induced) if pt unable to exercise
54
Thrombolytic therapy monitoring
BLEEDING and reperfusion arrythmias
55
Coronary Artery Stent
Float cath into bloackage via femoral artery (usually) Inflate balloon Deflate balloon to leave cage in artery Keeps artery open
56
Pt education after anginal attack
diet: lower LDL (fat intake <30% oof intake, increase omega 3 FA’s) Smoking cessation: (increased blood carbon monoxide, decreased HGB = increased workload, nicotine raises HR and BP from norepinephrine release, increases platelet adhesion) Exercise: cardiac rehab program
