main goal of treatment is to slow the progression of the disease and control its symptoms. These pathways address all stages of the disease beginning with the early recognition of patients at risk and ending with the need for end-of-life care. Pathophysiology Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart is not able to sustain sufficient cardiac output to perfuse the

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

Describe the five different types of shock and include for each‚ its pathophysiology‚ clinical manifestations and treatment. Shock is described as life threatening medical emergency resulting from insufficient blood flow through the body (Huether & Mccance‚ 2012) There are five types of medical shock. These include septic shock‚ anaphylactic shock‚ cardiogenic shock‚ hypovolemic shock‚ and neurogenic shock (Huether & Mccance‚ 2012). Septic shock results from bacteria that multiply in the

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
