this type of shock is caused by severe infection 

what is septic or distributive 

100

key regulator of the body's temperature 

hypothalamus

100

conduction system of the heart IN ORDER :)

SA node. AV node. bundle of his. bundle branches (R-L). purkinje fibers 

100

what is frostbite and stages with brief description 

complication of hypothermia. exposed to temps less than 0C and progressive dermal ischemia leading to tissue necrosis

frostnip- redness, superficial- white waxy appearance, deep- blackening and death of tissues 

100

give me 6 clinical manifestations of altered perfusion 

cyanosis, pain, pallor, coolness, edema, SOB, tachy cardia and pnea, fatigue, hypo or hypertension, heart murmur etc. 

200

these are the three types of circulation with definition 

systemic- oxygen and nutrients are distributed to the body 

coronary- blood flow to the heart's muscle support it to pump blood to body 

pulmonary- circulation through lungs provides ability to transfer oxygen from atmosphere to body 


200

types of heat loss with definitions and example of each 

conduction- warmer skin to cooler surfaces; cold floor 

convection- removal of heat due to air currents; fan 

radiation- electromagnetic heat exchange; heat lamp 

evaporation- vaporization of liquid on the skin; sweat is vaporized at skin surface 

200

EKG waveforms with meanings 

p wave- atria depolarize via SA node 

p-q- depolarization of AV node and bundle branches 

QRS- ventricles depolarize 

t- repolarization of ventricles 

u- repolarization of pukinje fibers 

200

time when you would use therapeutic hypothermia and what it consists of 

reduce ischemia, swelling, and oxygen demand- can improve survival after cardiac arrest, cardiac bypass, stroke/trauma, neonatal HIE 

temp of 32-36 c

cool iv fluids, blankets, ice packs etc. 

similar risks to accidental hypothermia so closely monitored 

200

fever stages with description 

prodromal- onset, nonspecific complaints 

chill- rise in temp, feeling cold 

flush- temp reaches new setpoint 

defervescence- pyrogen level decreases naturally or through treatment 

300

pathophysiological pathway for all types of shock 

cellular hypoxia to anaerobic metabolism to lactic acidosis 

300

hypothermia treatment for mild and moderate stages

mild 89.6-95- passive rewarming with blankets, insulated clothing, heated environment

moderate <89.6 - active rewarming with IV fluids, heated humidified oxyegn, external heat sources, may need core rewarming like lavage or ecmo 

300

ALL 6 types of shock with cause of each 

cardiogenic- heart doesn't pump good 

hypovolemic- decreased blood volume 

distributive- systemic vasodilation 

septic- severe infection

neurogenic- brain or spinal cord injury

anaphylactic- IgE allergic reaction 

300

hyperthermia and fever difference 

hyperthermia is due to unregulated rise in core temperature, outside of hypothalamus control 

300

all 3 stages of shock with definition of each 

initial- sudden drop in perfusion, SNS and RAAS are triggered, cold, clammy, anxious, need medical help

progressive- lungs, kidney, gut, liver, decreased perfusion 

irreversible- perfusion of heart and brain decreases MI and CVA likely 

400

cardiac cycle aka blood flow through the heart IN ORDER :)

venous blood returns to heart. blood enters RA. blood goes though tricuspid valve to RV. blood goes through pulmonic valve to pulmonary artery and lungs. deoxygenated blood gets oxygenated by ventilation-perfusion. blood returns to heart via pulmonary vein to LA. blood goes through mitral valve to LV. blood goes through aortic valve to aorta. blood enters systemic circulation 

400

what is fever, triggered by what, temp rises how 

temp above 100.4 f 

pyrogens

the hypothalamus resets the body temp to a higher one so your body has chills, and goosebumps. once tmep is reached the body will cool down by sweating and feeling flushed 

400

diagnosis methods for acute MI 

EKG-diagnosis stemi 

blood tests- troponin, CK, CPK-MB, myoglobin 

coronary angiogram- stent placement 

400

which groups are at risk for altered thermoregulation 

drugs and alcohol, cognitive impairment, athletes, elderly, neonates and newborns, homeless 

400

heat conservation and heat dispersion methods 

conserve- vasoconstriction, piloerection, shivering, BMR increases

disperse- sweating, vasodilation, decreased BMR 

500

what is heart failure patho. right sided vs left sided with 5 manifestations of each 

inadequacy of heart pumping so heart fails to maintain circulation of blood. impaired cardiac functioning, excessive workload demands. 

RT- RV cannot pump efficiently. swelling of extremities. weight gain. JVD. lethergic/fatigue. nocturia. girth. edema. irregular heart rate 

LT- LV cannot pump blood properly. dyspnea. rales. orthopnea. weakness/fatigue. increased heart rate. nagging cough. gain weight. bloody frothy sputum. 

500

malignant hyperthermia and what it consists of 

hypermetabolic crisis caused by genetic mutation RYR1, triggered by certain anesthetics, muscle relaxants like succinylcholine

core body temp great than 104 

dantrolene will resolve it 

500

what is an MI 5 clinical manifestations and 3 risk factors 

prolonged ischemia of cardiac tissue leading to cellular death. complete obstruction of coronary artery due to plaque, thrombosis, plaque rupture

smoking, HTN, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, diabetes, family history heart disease

chest pain, pressure, squeezing. radiation to neck, jaw, left arm/shoulder. Levines sign. releived with rest/nitrates. brought on by stress exertion. dyspnea, dizziness, lightheadedness

500

hyperthermia stages with two manifestations from each 

mild (heat stress), core temp- WNL or mildly elevated , caused by prolonged heat exposure 

slow painful muscle cramps, sweating and flushed skin, fatigue, tachy cardia and pnea 

moderate-heat exhaustion- >101, dehydration and sodium depletion

excessive sweating, thirst, n/v, dizziness, weakness, oliguria, changes in LOC

 severe- heat stroke >104, thermoregulatory failure

hot dry flushed skin, no sweating, changes in LOC, tachy carida and pnea, hypotension, multi organ failure, cardiorespiratory collapse 

500

hypothermia stages with 2 manifestations from each 

mild- 32-35- shivering, HTN, tachy, cyanosis

moderate- 28-32- no longer shivering, respiratory acidosis, hypotension, dysrthymias 

severe-<28- lactic acidosis, fatal cardiac arythmias, decreased reflexes, unconscious  

profound- <28- survival unlikely, need ecmo, absent muscle reflexes
