Question
Answer
use to determine acid base balance   Arterial Blood Gases  
🗑
which organ regulates PaCO2? Which one regulates HCO3   lungs; kidneys  
🗑
ABG pre-op   1) tell pt of ARTERIAL PUNCTURE 2) obtain HEPARINIZED syringe and draw sample  
🗑
ABG post-op   1) REMOVE AIR BUBBLES from sample 2) place TUBE ON ICE and send for IMMEDIATE analysis 3) apply PRESSURE to puncture for 5 mins. 4) report results  
🗑
Pulse ox measures ____ ____ saturation   arterial oxygen  
🗑
metabolic range of HCO3   35-45  
🗑
PaCO2 range   22-26  
🗑
substance that is released when cardiac cells die as a result of damage   cardiac enzymes  
🗑
3 areas where creatine phosphokinase found in high concentrations:   brain, heart, skeletal muscle  
🗑
type of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) specific to heart tissue is:   CPK-MB  
🗑
CPK rise, peak, return to normal:   4-6 hours after AMI, 12-24hrs, RETURN TO NORMAL in 2-3 days  
🗑
Name two cardiac protein markers   troponin and myoglobin  
🗑
protein involved in contraction of muscles   Troponin T and I  
🗑
Troponin is released into circulation after what event   AMI  
🗑
T or F: Normal levels of troponin are detectable in healthy individuals   false: troponin is usually not detectable in healthy individuals  
🗑
T or false: Troponin elevate significantly with angina and AMI   false: elevates significantly with AMI only and lesser with angina  
🗑
Which lab test is done in an emergency department and why?   troponin because it is quicker than enzymes (slower than myoglobin..myo is the fastest but not specific to the heart)  
🗑
CPK pre-op   1) tell that blood sample is drawn 2) no special prep 3)draw specimen before other invasive procedure to detect AMI  
🗑
CPK post-op   1) check VENIPUNCTURE 2) apply pressure when oozing  
🗑
Troponin pre-op   tell blood will be drawn; no special prep  
🗑
troponin post-op   same as cardiac enzymes  
🗑
protien released very quickly after an AMI: the fastest   Myoglobin  
🗑
T or F: myoglobin lvls elevate after muscle damage of any cause   True, it is elevated with any muscle because it is not specific to the heart muscle  
🗑
Mrs. Gorcyca said that with myoglobin other tests are ordered: name 3   1) MRI 2) troponin 3) CPK  
🗑
myoglobin post and pre op   same as troponin  
🗑
What are the 5 things included in CBC tests: hint first is WBC   WBC, RBC, Hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelet  
🗑
this count indicates body's ability to defend itself, give the normal range   WBC = 5,000-10,000  
🗑
in what two conditions are WBC elevated according to the book? what conditions are WBC below normal   1) inflammatory processes such as AMI and bacterial infection 2) viral infection and bone marrow depression  
🗑
determines ability of blood to carry O2 from lungs to tissues and CO2 to lungs; give normal range   RBC = 3,600,000-5,400,000 ....lots of zeros  
🗑
RBCs are below when and elevated when   below = anemias, malignancies; elevated = dehydration  
🗑
percentage of packed RBCs; give normal range   Hct = 37-54%  
🗑
transports O2 to cells; give normal range   hgb = 12-17.5  
🗑
T or F: HGB is elevated in COPD, Dehydration and CHF   True  
🗑
what level of HGB leads to heart failure   less than (<) 5  
🗑
smallest element in blood necessary for coagulaton; normal range is   platelets= 150,000-350,000  
🗑
anemia and bleeding range   below normal platelet, RBC, Hct, Hgb  
🗑
during some heart disease and acute infections, platelet counts are elevated or depressed?   elevated  
🗑
battery test measuring serum lipids   Lipid profile  
🗑
what are the 3 most common lipids   cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotiens  
🗑
normal adult serum lvl of cholesterol is:   less than 200md/dL  
🗑
Elevated cholesterol lvls are associated w/ risks for 3 conditions   AMI, hypertnesion, CAD  
🗑
HDLs and LDLs are associated w/ what cardiac disorder   CAD  
🗑
give levels for HDL, LDL, and Triglyceride levels   HDL= greater than 40; LDL less than 100; less than 150  
🗑
what can you do to raise low lvls of HDL   physical activity at least 30 q day; no smoking; losing weight  
🗑
Lipid pre op   1) tell pt expect venipuncture 2) NPO 12HR BEFORE SAMPLE DRAWN 3) USUAL DIET for 2 weeks before procedure  
🗑
lipid post op   same as cardiac enzymes  
🗑
a cardiac hormone released during ventricular dilation and stretch (HF)   BNP = B-type natriuretic peptide  
🗑
an acute phase protein and marker of inflammation   CRP= C-reactive protein  
🗑
CRP can indicate what cardiac disorder   acute coronary syndrome ACS  
🗑
BNP and CRP pre-op   tell blood is drawn, no special prep  
🗑
BNP & CRP post op   same as cardiac enzyme  
🗑
THE   END  
🗑
