MedSurge Exam 1

QuestionAnswer
Preload vs Afterload Preload= stretch on ventricles during diastole Afterload= resistance ventricles pump against to leave heart
how does vasodilation vs vasoconstriction impact preload dilate= decrease preload bc venous pooling constrict= increase preload bc squeezes venous blood to heart
what is stroke volume amount of blood ejected from ventricle with each beat
troponin vs ckmb vs myoglobin troponin- cardiac specific, gold standard ckmb- reinfarction myoglobin - earliest sign of muscle damage
normal cardiac output 4-6L/min
normal EF% 50-70%
normal atrial kick percent 15%
TAA vs AAA vs dissection pain TAA=boring chest and some back pain AAA= back and flank pain Dissection= shredding/ripping pain
Best way to diagnose TAA vs AAA TAA= TEE AAA= CT/abdomen
types of aneurysm surgeries (elective v emergency too) elective (open vs EVAR) = aneurysm no active rupture emergency= active rupture
6 P's pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, polar, paralysis
urgency vs emergency HTN urgency= no organ damage emergency= organ damage (neuro, blurry, blood etc) both have 180/120> BP
silent MI s/s vs classic MI s/s silent (women, old, OSA, diabetes)= unexpected fatigue, back pain, GI s/s classic= chest pain
how are murmurs graded grade 1(very faint)- grade 6 (audible withut stethoscope)
cardiac stress test instructions comfy clothes, no eat 2-4 hr before, dont take like beta blockers, informed consent
prodromal s/s of acute cardiac event fatigu, GI upset, syncope
primary v secondary htn primary= no known cause secondaruy= known cause if multidrug therapy isnt working, look for a secondary htn cause
beta blockers education dont stop abruptly, no for asthma, masks hypoglycemia s/s
masked htn vs white coat syndrome masked= normal reading at clinic but high when at home or work
htn emergency plan/goals over time? 0-1 hr= reduce bp no more than 25% to prevent ischemia then 160/120 or so then normalize EXCEPT in aortic dissection, very large blood loss
gold standard for diagnosing htn/masked htn home bp measure or 24 hr bp measure
DASH diet high protein low fat, K+ helps but if you have CKD/renal issues then DONT EAT K+
TAA s/s brassy cough, boring/dull chest pain
aortic dissection gold standard diagnostic ct angiography
s/s of AAA abdominal/back pain, heartbeat in abdomen/pulsatile mask, mottling of toes
post-graft aneurysm occlusion vs rupture s/s occlusion= pale, cool, pulseless, change in pulses rupture= abdominal distention, sudden pain, tachy and hypo,
how to monitor endoleak CT scans
post op aneurysm repair edu hob less than 45 deg, uo less than 30ml/hr report
bronchoscopy preprocedure and post procedure informed consent, NPO before, sedate, npo until gag reglex back, remove denture
to diagnose htn, how many bp readings and how far apart 2 and at least 2 mins apart
thiazide diuretics monitor for what electrolyte imbalance (K level) monitor heart function hypotension meds ortho hypo dry mouth volume
hypertensive emergency diagnostic first? 180/120 with organ damage (either or 180 or 120 or more is crisis/urgency) CT without contrast first bc kidney damage CT angio if need to (increase fluids, check kidney levels, cardiac markers, electrolytes maybe)
want to bring BP rapidly from htn emergncy if they have whta conditions aortic dissection, eclampsia, hemorrhagic stroke
sacular vs fusiform vs dissecting vs mycotic aneurysm sacular- one form on one side fusiform- entire vessel dissecting- tear in vessel wall (BAD) mycotic- localized due to infection
risks for aneurysms htn, smoking, fam hx, more than 50, MARFAN SYNDROME (ascending TAA), blunt chest trauma, cocaine
aneurysm diagnostic BP both arms CT chest xray angiography US dupley-- AAA usually
aneurysm size and how often to check small- 3-3.9cm = CT/monitor every 3 years med (4.5cm)= annual CT large 5cm or rapidly growing= surgery endo graft= AAA open= TAA
aneurysms most often occur in where aorta
