Other causes of cardiogenic shock include left ventricular failure‚ dysrhythmias‚ myopathies including valves‚ cardiac tamponade‚ pericarditis‚ pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary embolism (Ignatavicius‚ 2010). Pathophysiology Cardiogenic shock has a downward spiraling pathophysiology that ultimately leads to hypoxemia and

Ch 22: The Respiratory System 5-2 Objectives Functional Anatomy of the Respiratory System 1. Identify the organs forming the respiratory passageway(s) in descending order until the alveoli are reached. 2. Describe the location‚ structure‚ and function of each of the following: nose‚ paranasal sinuses‚ pharynx‚ and larynx. 3. List and describe several protective mechanisms of the respiratory system. 4. Distinguish between conducting and respiratory zone structures. 5

An infection of the lungs triggers an inflammatory response‚ which results in edema in the alveoli. As a result of pulmonary edema‚ gas exchange becomes impaired leading to decreased activity tolerance. At the end of the shift‚ pt’s pulse oximetry will increase and remain above 90%. The nurse will position the pt’s bed into the semi-Fowler’s position for most of the

then it collects carbon dioxide and enters through the vena cava into the right atrium of the heart. The right ventricle then pumps blood through the pulmonary artery into the lungs. In the lungs‚ tiny blood vessels called capillaries absorb carbon dioxide from the blood and replace it with oxygen. Our oxygenated blood then flows through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium. Oxygenated blood then pumps through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle. The left side of our heart contracts

Cardiac arrest is confirmed by absence of signs of circulation‚ loss of consciousness; respiratory arrest (may be in 30 seconds after cardiac arrest) and enlargement of pupils (may be in 90 seconds after cardiac arrest). Jacobs et al.‚ (2004) The temporal sequence of cardiac arrest can be explained by a 3-phased time sensitive model. These phases include electrical (lasting 0 to 4 minutes from time of cardiac arrest)‚ circulatory (lasting 4 to 10 minutes from time of cardiac arrest)‚ and metabolic

who have AF tend to have larger left atria and larger pulmonary veins which could potentially lead to the further propagation of AF. As the cardiac remodelling process continues‚ the changes in the size and shape of the ventricle become more exaggerated‚ cardiac function deteriorates and heart failure ensues. Thromboembolism defined as the obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has become dislodged from another site in the circulation and it is a severe complication in atrial fibrillation

From which vessels do each of the atria receive blood? Into which vessels do the ventricles eject blood? The right atrium receives blood from the vena cava and sends it to the right ventricles through the tricuspid valve; the right ventricle sends the blood into the pulmonary trunk through the pulmonary valve; the left atrium
