Term
What is the treatment for cardiogenic shock
Give this one a go later!
-Cardiogenic shock when initial medical management does not improve CO enough
to maintain tissue perfusion
- Stabilizing O2
-Medication to increase BP and CO
Dobutamine and epi to improve CO then do a vasopressor dopamine, norepi,
or phenylephrine should be started to support BP
, -SOB, dyspnea or orthopnea
-crackles on auscultation
-pale color
-Weak pulses
-Cool temp in extremities
-Delayed cap refill
-Fatigue
-Weakness
Exclusively in the heart and are specific marker of cardiac muscle damage
Elevate within four hours of injury
and stay elevated for as long as 10 days
Don't know?
