which is a life-threatening condition unless it is treated and fluids are replaced. Pathophysiology: The mechanisms potentially responsible for viral diarrhea include lysis of enterocytes‚ interference with the brush border function that leads to malabsorption of electrolytes‚ stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)‚ and carbohydrate malabsorption. For bacterial gastroenteritis‚ the pathophysiology involves the elaboration of toxin by enterotoxigenic pathogens and the invasion and inflammation

The primary intervention of SIADH includes fluid restriction. In case of acute episodes of SIADH‚ diuretics such as IV Mannitol and IV Furosemide may be given to promote diuresis and free water clearance. In severe cases‚ a hypertonic infusion such as 3% NaCl is administered intravenously for 36-48 hours or until the lab results shows an improved Na level. (Porth‚ 2009). Physiological action and possible complications: Furosemide works by blocking the absorption of sodium‚ chloride‚ and water

beat (Wakili 2011). Abnormalities in Ca2+‚ Na+‚ and/or K+ contribute to ion channel dysfunction and structural remodeling of AF (Andrade‚ 2014). Irregular rhythm of contraction of muscles in the atria usually exceed 200-400 bpm in AF (The Pathophysiology‚ 2017). The AV node is unable to conduct beats that fast‚ thus it does so spasmodically. This results in an irregular ventricular rhythm‚ pooling of blood in the heart chambers‚ and on average 20% decrease in cardiac output (Leach‚

Madias (2010) identified also that when metabolic acidosis is of an acute nature it is likely due to the overproduction of organic acids such as lactic acids or ketoacids. Kraut and Madias (2010) add that acute metabolic acidosis affects the pathophysiology of the patient through a reduction in cardiac output‚ hypotension due to arterial dilatation‚ a decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production‚ alteration to oxygen delivery‚ weakening of the immune system and immune response and an increased

Given the current symptoms it seems that A.O is suffering from left heart failure. Dyspnea the medical term for difficulty breathing is often an indicator of left heart failure. The clinical manifestations including dyspnea are caused by pulmonary vascular congestion and poor systemic oxygen perfusion (Huether & McCance‚ 2012). Other clinical manifestations physicians find with individuals with left heart failure include‚ coughing up mucus‚ fatigue‚ and a decreased urine output. Physicians will
