  • 3rd side (hint)
Vasodilator
Decreases myocardial oxygen demand
Improve blood supply to myocardial tissue
Dilates peripheral veins to increase venous capacity hold more fluid
Dilates coronary arteries to increase 02 to myocardium
Titration based on chest pain, VS, PCWP
Nitroglycerin
Pharmacoloy
-VS Q 15 minutes
- Preload Reducer

Symptoms
-Dizziness (sit up or lie down when taking it or pt will fall)

-Tachycardia reflex
-Warm flush mm & skin
-hypotension
-H/A (give tylenol)
Nitroglycerin
Nursing Teaching
Used in acute situation
-Pt should always carry at all times
-Take 1rst sign of chest pain, X 3tab, 5 minutes apart
-after 3rd tab call 911
-sit up or lie down when taking
-may/may not feel burning/tingling sensation (not bad)
-keep it small brown bottle, no pocket
*NTG does not cure agina just treats it
Nitroglycerin
Sub Lingual
Paste 1/2 - 2 inches paste
-absorbed slowly via skin
-wash hands p administering
-Use for maintainance NOT ACUTE
-* Take off if orthostatic HypoTN
-Vascular NO hairy part
-No forarms, lower extremities, forhead
Nitroglycerin
Topical/ Paste
Anti Platlet Agent (decrease platelet aggregation/clumpling)

* When patient has chest pain we are not sure if it is angina or MI pain so we give them chew on ASA (325mg)

*if its an MI, ASA makes the platelet more responsive to tx

-Contraindicated in GI bleed, ulcer, laceration

-Pain relief, analgesic
ASA
Pharmacology
Morphine Sulfate (drug of choice Pain)
-decrease anxiety, pain, venous pooling, workload, respirations
-DECREASES PRELOAD, AFTERLOAD, WORKLOAD

Oxygen 2L NC

NTG - IV infusion, want remainder of fx arteries to have good perfusion
Decrease BP, decrease Preload

ASA- Anti platelet therapy
MONA PROTOCOL
-Diuretics
-Vasodilators
-Ace Inhibitors
-Angiotension II blockers
-Beta Blockers
-Morphine Sulfate
Meds to Reduce Cardiac Workload

Heart Failure

-Decreases venous return
-Decreases peripheral resistance
-Upright position
-Nitrates (low dose)
-Lasix
-Oxygen
-Aminophylline (Bronchodilators)
-Digoxin
-Fluids (decreased)
-Afterload (decrese)
-Sodium Restriction
-Test (dig level, ABG, K)
UNLOAD FAST

HEART FAILURE TREATMENT
-Digoxin
-Dobutamine
-Dopamine
-Inocor
-Natrecor Drip
Meds that increase contractility
decreases HR

3D COR = increase contraction
REDUCE CARDIAC WORKLOAD
Beta Blockers
Ace

Morphine
Arbs
Nitroglycerine
CAT MAN
DECREASES VENTRICULAR REMODELING
ACE
BETA
NATRECOR
Vasodilator

-Relax smooth muscles, dilates (veins and arteries)

-Decreases PCWP, inhibits NA & H20 retention

USED FOR ACUTELY DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE (DYSNEA & REST)

S/E Hypotension, arrythmias, bradycardia

effective when: PCWP decreases and dyspnea improves
HEPERIN ACTION
Inhibits effects of thrombin and prevents conversion of fribrinogen to friben

-weight based

-Initial bolus followed continuous infusion

-PTT every 6 hours
Normal 25-39 (78 highest)

1/2 - 2 x theraupetic level
LOW MOLECULAR HEPRIN

LOVENOX
Prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, liberation of thromboplastin from platelets and formation of a stable cot

PREVENTION OF DVD
Coumadin (Warfarin)
Interferes with synthesis of Vitamin K dependent clotting factors by the liver

-Stops existing thrombi and formation of new clots

Start 2-3 days prior to Heprin infusion is discontinued

Monitor PT INR
PT 11-13 (1.5x)
INR 1.0 (2-3x) (2.0-2.5)
