Back 19

Digoxin, inderal, demoral, morphine, ca channel blockers

Front 20

What two physiological responses will result in sinus bradycardia

Back 20

Responses to Sleep and light

Front 21

What to myocardial infarctions may result in sinus bradycardia

Back 21

Inferior. Myocardial infraction or right ventricular MI

Front 22

Back 22

Hypothyroidism

Front 23

What disorders involving increases of pressure cause sinus bradycardia

Back 23

Glaucoma and increased intracranial pressure

Front 24

Why will an inferior myocardial infarction cause sinus bradycardia

Back 24

Inferior sinuses of the heart are supplied by the right coronary artery blockages of inferior myocardial infarction's will ultimately result in less blood supply to the areas supplying blood to the sinus node

Back 25

Sinus bradycardia

Front 26

Hypothermia will cause what type of arrhythmia

Back 26

Sinus bradycardia

Front 27

Name a treatment of bradycardia that involves a pharmacological component

Back 27

The drug of choice for bradycardia is atropine 0.5 to 1 mg IV push

Front 28

How does atropine affect heart rate

Back 28

Atropine is a cholenergic blocker which works against the parasympathetic system in other words it blocks the brakes

Front 29

Name some symptoms that may occur with. Sinus bradycardia

Back 29

Hypertension
Diaphoresis
Confusion
Loss of consciousness
Chest pain
PVCs

Front 30

What is a nursing consideration for someone has sinus bradycardia

Back 30

Avoid anything that will increase vagal tone such as the valsava menuever or drugs

Front 31

What disorders involving increases of pressure cause sinus bradycardia

Back 39

Glaucoma and increased intracranial pressure

Front 40

Why will an inferior myocardial infarction cause sinus bradycardia

Back 40

Inferior sinuses of the heart are supplied by the right coronary artery blockages of inferior myocardial infarction's will ultimately result in less blood supply to the areas supplying blood to the sinus node
