Bradycardia

Concentrations for adult rats. LD50 of BPA was 35.26 mg/kg according to NCBI. “Injection of lethal dose of BPA (40 mg/kg body weight) produced acute toxicity manifesting as immediate respiratory arrest and hypotension after the injection of BPA followed by bradycardia. The animals died within 7.3 +/- 0.7 min.”, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22734254. Honestly was too much work to find any good result from exposure to humans, as I could only the amount of exposure to affect sexual health…

Medications and the 5 Rights Over the years, giving medication has become more than just handing out medications. As a nurse, we all know we have to check the 5 rights, but now we even have to scan patient’s ID bracelets to make sure we are giving the medicine to the correct patient.

Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the Thyroid. “With Hashimoto’s disease, the immune system makes antibodies that damage thyroid cells and interfere with [their ability to make production of hormones produced in thyroid gland which include triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)]” (Cooper, 2012). When a person has Hashimoto thyroid disease “the immune system produces antibodies that attack the thyroid” (Cooper, 2012). This can cause a persisting impairment of the thyroid…

The heart is the center of the cardiovascular system. Through the body's veins, the heart pumps blood to the majority of the body's cells. The blood conveys oxygen, which the cells require.

Bailey Article 2: ACLS medications and intent Summary Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is the name given to a set of guidelines and recommendations produced by the American Heart Association to standardize healthcare provider response to cardiac arrest (Pozner, 2015). As time and research have progressed, ACLS guidelines have changed. Current recommendations, as of 2010, emphasize high quality chest compressions and early defibrillation, and that the evidence supporting these two…

Circulation and respiration task 1. The pacemaker is a treatment for the heart disease called arrhythmia. An Arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an Arrhythmia, the heart can beat irregularly (either too fast or too slow).

when something disrupts the body's normal course of counteracting low blood pressure. This condition is common in people over the age of 65. Dehydration causes orthostatic hypotension by your body losing blood volume. Some heart conditions such as bradycardia, heart valve problems, heart attack, and heart failure can cause this condition by preventing the body from responding fast enough for the heart to pump enough blood. Some endocrine problems such as thyroid problems, adrenal insufficiency,…

Ron was seen today following the HRCT scan to assess for the significance of the crackles in the setting of his mild decrease in gas transfer factor. The HRCT showed multiple bilateral calcified pleural plaques consistent with his known past asbestos exposure, probably as a child, and some mild subpleural reticulation in the bi-basal regions noted, but no interstitial fibrotic change. The significance of these findings is uncertain and given that we have no past chest imaging that Ron can…
