Chamber Temporary Pacemaker Detail – Model 5391 Single Chamber Temporary Pacemaker Model 5391 The single-chamber model is defined by its light weight‚ ease of operation‚ durability‚ and dependability. It is intended for temporary atrial or ventricular pacing and supports synchronous (VVI‚ AAI) and asynchronous (VOO‚ AOO) operating modes. Constant voltage output Basic pacing rate to 180 ppm Rapid atrial pacing at times 2 and times 4 of the basic rate up to 720 ppm Audible tone for sensitivity

chambers of the heart. The ventricles are muscular chambers that pump blood when the muscles contract. The contraction of the ventricle muscles is called systole. Congestive cardiac failure may be classified as left sided (or left ventricular)‚ right sided (or right ventricular) or biventricular (affecting both left and right ventricles). In addition‚ congestive cardiac failure can be classified into four functional states. * Class I (Mild) – patients with cardiac disease who does not result in

For this community-teaching plan‚ I chose to discuss Coumadin therapy. I presented the secondary prevention and screening for vulnerable people. The demographic of the audience were all nurses. RN s and LPNs were educated on why we use Coumadin and why it is so important to understand the side effects of the medication and what risk factors to be aware of when administering the medication. When dispensing the medication to our patients‚ it is our responsibility as their nurse to be fully aware of

occurs when there is ineffective function of the left ventricular contractile. As the pumping of the left ventricle fails‚ cardiac output also fails. The blood that is suppose to go to the body is no longer being pumped out‚ thus backing up into the left atrium and the the lungs‚ causing “pulmonary congestion‚ dyspnea‚ and activity intolerance” ( Lippincott Wilkins & Williams‚ 2011). Right sided heart failure results from ineffective right ventricular contractile function. Blood is not being pumped effectively
Premium Heart Blood Circulatory system
embolus that blocks blood flow to the brain. Blood clots (thrombus clots) typically happen in zones of the arteries that have been impaired by atherosclerosis from an accumulation of plaques. Embolus type blood clots are often instigated by atrial fibrillation i.e. an asymmetrical pattern of heart beat that result in blood clot formation and poor blood flow. Hemorrhage strokes can be caused by
