AMI & Angina & CABG
This results from chest pain that results from ischemia.
What is angina?
Following standard guidelines for using aseptic and hand washing techniques when inserting or removing a catheter can help prevent this.
What is sepsis?
This medication relieves chest pain related to stable angina, but is not effective to relieve chest pain related to an AMI.
What is nitroglycerin?
This condition has clinical manifestations of a pulsatile abdominal mass near the umbilicus and the presence of a bruit over the abdominal aorta.
What is an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysym (AAA)?
This condition is caused by accelerated activation of the clotting cascade and depletion of clotting factors.
What is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
If this is seen on an ECG, it indicates complete coronary artery occlusion, requiring rapid reperfusion to restore blood flow and minimize myocardial damage. This is a time-critical emergency.
What is a (STEMI)- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction?
Septic, Neurogenic, and Anaphylactic shock are all examples of this.
What is Distributive shock?
This medication is given during an AMI to relieve pain and anxiety.
What is morphine?
Altered atrial contractions can cause blood pooling and thrombus formation. Because of this, client's with a-fib are at risk for developing this complication.
What is P.E. or embolic stroke?
A pulmonary artery catheter is inserted into the pulmonary artery to monitor this.
What is hemodynamic status?
This substance is not present in the blood unless myocardial muscle injury has occurred.
What is Troponin?
A child less than 3 months of age with a temperature higher than 100.4°F should be evaluated for this because the child is at increased risk secondary to an immature immune system.
What is sepsis?
This medication is indicated if the client has symptomatic bradycardia.
What is Atropine?
Palpitations, HR > 150 bpm, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue are clinical manifestations of this arrhythmia.
What is Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)?
If an incompatible type of blood or blood product is tranfused, a patient will have this type of reaction.
What is a hemolytic reaction?
This condition typically occurs at rest, often at night, and is caused by coronary artery vasospasm.
What is Prinzmetal angina?
Older adults who have a heart attack, especially those with a history of heart failure, diabetes, or hypertension, have an increased risk of this.
What is Cardiogenic shock?
The goal of treatment for shock with this medication is to improve the ability of the heart to pump blood to increase cardiac output, increase blood pressure, and perfuse vital organs.
What is Dopamine?
In this condition, the atria (upper chambers of the heart) beat very fast, typically between 240 to 350 beats per minute.
What is atrial flutter?
In DIC, coagulation studies such as PT, PTT and thrombin time will be ___________.
What is prolonged?
This is a complication of CABG that is accompanied by narrowed pulse pressure, JVD, and muffled heart sounds
What is Cardiac Tamponade?
Mild acidosis and hyperkalemia are expected during this stage of shock.
What is the Compensatory Stage?
This medication is the preferred treatment for Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) to quickly restore normal heart rhythm.
What is IV Adenosine?
These are the most common type of cerebral (brain) aneurysms, typically occurring at branch points in the brain's arteries, with a high risk of rupture if not managed.
What is a saccular aneurysm or "berry aneurysm"?
During pregnancy, DIC occurs in some patients affected by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet counts—a condition commonly referred to as ___________.
What is HELLP?
