Cardiac dysrhythmia

recurrent hypoxia that required an intermittent BIPAP, and it was suspected that she had aspirated. This pt was administered a CT scan, an Echocardiogram, and had a speech therapy consult. According to Dr. Bucher, Atrial fibrillation is a type of dysrhythmia casused by multiple…

Other contributors include non-cardiac conditions such as renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, anemia, and the side effects of medications (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, calcium-channel blockers, and thiazolidinedione). Classifications and Stages of Heart Failure Doctors…

Fisher, commonly occurs in heart failure because of reduced cardiac output, which reduces perfusion to the lungs and other organs of the body (Klabunde, 2015). Pulmonary edema, also frequently associated with heart failure can cause dyspnea (Klabunde, 2015). Sallie Mae’s discharge orders included home oxygen use at…

Music always helps me escape any of my problems, no matter how big or small. I enjoy listening to music whenever I am doing something, whether it is studying, in the car or cleaning my room. I listen to all genres of music; some of the music I listen to does not have any words, only sounds and melodies, and other styles of music include various beats, themes and even languages. When I came across the song, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” by John Mayer, it really captured my heart in a way like…

developing venous thromboembolism, stroke and atrial fibrillation. This anticoagulant therefore is needed and is part of a guideline on the use of thromboprophylaxis for John. f. ECG and cardiac enzymes (CK, CKMB, Troponin) every six (6) hours. ECG is a test that records the rhythm and electrical conductivity of the heart. Cardiac enzymes are high sensitivity studies that measure the enzymes and proteins linked with heart muscle damage. They are tests done serially to evaluate if damage patterns…

These contributing factors decrease cardiac output, systemic blood pressure, and perfusion to the kidneys leading to activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cycle and the baroreceptors in the aortic arch, carotid sinus. This stimulates of vasomotor regulatory centers in the medulla…

hiatal hernia, benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), and erectile dysfunction (ED). His family health history shows the brother has a heart disease. He was never a smoker. He drinks alcohol 4-6 beers on weekends. Admitted medical diagnosis indicates cardiac arrhythmia and pneumonia. When we did the beginning shift assessment, the patient was alert and oriented, ambulating, afebrile, he is NPO, and he had temporary pacemaker placed on. I was able to identify abnormal lung sound…

Main Question Post: Week 4: Cardiovascular Disorders Myocardial Ischemia and Acute Coronary Syndrome Cardiovascular disease (CVD) persists as the principle source of death amongst the men and women globally, and has claimed further breathes yearly in the United States (U.S) than “cancer, chronic lung disease, and accidents” collectively (Dunlay, & Roger, 2012). Myocardial ischemia and acute coronary syndrome originate with the coronary artery disease. According to Huether and McCance (2012),…

eyes. 17. Neurological effects of hyperthyroidism include: Nervousness, insomnia, delirium, fatigue, and fine tremors. 18. Cardiovascular effects of hyperthyroidism include: Systolic hypertension, bounding/rapid pulse, increased cardiac output, systolic murmurs, dysrhythmias, palpitations, atrial fibrillation, and angina. 19. Reproductive effects of hyperthyroidism include: Menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, decreased libido, impotence, gynecomastia, and decreased fertility. 20.…

Fluid Management in CRRT The volume of hourly ultrafiltrate removed depends on an hourly fluid balance calculation and assessment of patient’s hemodynamic and fluid status. Hourly fluid goal calculation is the non-CRRT intake, plus fluid loss ordered by the physician, minus non-CRRT output. The system infuses and removes fluid after the fluid balance is calculated, and the desired volumes are input into the system. The system monitors the volume of replacement fluid, dialysate, and the volume of…
