| Asthma Attack symptoms | difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest pressure, sweating |
| Asthma attack procedure | EMS, put patient upright, bronchodilator, basic life support |
| Shock causes | sharp pain, needles, sight of blood, uncomfortable environment, severe infection, anxiety, hemorrhage, vomiting, inadequate fluid intake |
| Shock symptoms | moist skin, cold/ clammy, thirst (polydipsia), EVENTUAL unconciousness |
| Shock procedures | EMS, Trendelenburg position, open airway, keep warm, check vitals, do not give fluids |
| Anaphylactic shock is | an allergic rxn of the body to an overwhelming sensitization by a foreign protein |
| Anaphylactic shock symptoms | swelling,dysphagia (trouble swallowing), urticaria (wheals, itching), dypsnea (shortness of breath), cardiac arrest |
| Anaphylactic shock procedures | EMS, supine position, oxygen, Epi-Pen |
| Epinephrine.. | peripheral vasocontrictor, vasodilator to muscles, bronchial dilator. Also known as adrenaline |
| Whats a stroke | interruption of the blood supply to the brain |
| Cerebral thrombosis | blood clot in the brain |
| Intracerebral embolism | blood clot that has traveled from somewhere in the body to the brain |
| Ischemia | "little strokes" decreased blood flow to the brain |
| Cerebral hemorrhage | from a accident, aneurism, high BP, arteriosclerosis |
| Stroke symptoms | speech defects, hemiplegia (paralysis one side of the body, hemiparesis (slight or incomplete paralysis on one side of the body) |
| Stroke procedures | EMS, turn patient on paralyzed side, elevate head slightly, keep patient calm, O2 when needed, convulsion treatment, clear airway, CPR |
| Syncope symptoms | SUDDEN loss of consciousness,cold perspiration |
| syncope procedure | trendelenburg position, cold damp towel, crush ammonia vaporole under nose, then put in supine position, 24 hour recovery |
| Congenital heart disease | abnormalities in the anatomic structure of the heart due to development |
| Rheumatic heart disease | a complication of rheumatic fever |
| Mitral valve damage | regurgitation of the blood and back flow into the left atrium |
| Infective endocarditis | infection of the heart valves or endocardium |
| Hypertensive heart disease | increased load on the heart because of elevated artieral blood pressure |
| Ischemic heart disease | insufficient blood flow to the myocradium(heart muscle) |
| Atherosclerosis | formation of plaque(atheromas) in the arteries which is reversible |
| Arteriosclerosis | thickening, loss of elasticity and calcification of the artery wall |
| Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis | calcium deposits found in the media of arterial walls, not reversible |
| Angina Pectoris symptoms | sudden pain in the substernal area, crushing in chest |
| Angina pectoris procedures | place nitroglycerin tablet under tongue, which is a vasodilator, EMS if not relief |
| Ammonia | increases respiration |
| Myocardial Infarction | heart attack caused by coronary embolism or coronary thrombus (blood clot in heart), that casues coronary occlusion (coronary thrombosis) |
| Mycocardial infarction symptoms | sudden pain but in longer duration |
| Myocardial infarction procedures | EMS, keep patient up right, make patient comfortable |
| Congestive Heart Failure | the heart is no longer able to circulate the amount of blood required for the body |
| Congestive heart failure symptoms of the left side of the heart | back up of serous fluid into the lungs, dyspnea (cant breath), cough and expectoration, nocturia (excessive urination at night), diastolic BP increases |
| Congestive heart failure symptoms of the right side of the heart | systemic venous congestion with edema, swelling, prominent jugular veins |
| Congestive heart failure procedures | position patient up right, EMS |
| Sudden Death | clinical dealth that occurs within 24 hours after onset of symptoms |
| Cardiac Arrest Symptoms | no heart beat, no breathing |
| Cardiac arrest procedures | supine postion, EMS, check pulse, pulse = no breathing = rescue breath. no pulse = 30 cardiac compressions (100permin), 2 breaths, AED, push hard and fast, may need shock, continue till EMS arrive |
