Holt GNRS 582 Exam #3 - Pulmonary and
Cardiac Part 1 Exam Questions with correct
answers
Virchow's |triad |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Hypercoagulability, |venous |stasis |and |endothelial |damage
Hypercoagulability |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-is |an |abnormality |of |blood |coagulation |that |increases |the |
risk |of |thrombosis |(blood |clots |in |blood |vessels).
venous |stasis |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-a |disorder |in |which |the |normal |flow |of |fluid |through |a |vessel |of
|the |body |is |slowed |or |halted; |the |underlying |cause |of |thrombus |formation.
endothelial |damage |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Trauma |or |injury |to |a |blood |vessel
Pulmonary |embolus |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Blockage |of |the |pulmonary |artery |or |one |of |its |branches |
due |to |a |translocated |clot
Pulmonary |embolus |- |Clinical |signs |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-1. |ACUTE |RT. |SIDED |HEART |FAILURE
2. |ACUTE |PULMONARY |HYPERTENSION
3. |OBSTRUCTIVE |SHOCK |(assoc. |w/ |MASSIVE |PE)
4. |Most |cases |are |non-specific |symptoms, |others |are |sudden |
5. |Tachypnea, |Dyspnea, |Chest |pain
6. |Increased |dead |space
7. |V/Q |mismatch
8. |Decreased |PaO2
9. |Pulmonary |infarction |/ |pulmonary |hypertension
10. |Decreased |cardiac |output
11. |Systemic |hypotension
, Tachypnea |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-rapid |breathing
Dyspnea |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-subjective |sensation |of |difficulty |breathing |
Shortness |of |breath
PaO2 |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Physically |dissolved |in |plasma
abbreviation |for |partial |pressure |of |oxygen; |measurement |of |the |amount |of |oxygen |in |the |blood
Pulmonary |infarction |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Lung |tissue |that |is |damaged |or |dies |as |a |result |of |blood
|vessel |occlusion |and |tissue |ischemia.
pulmonary |hypertension |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-elevated |pulmonary |pressure |resulting |from |an |
increase |in |pulmonary |vascular |resistance |to |blood |flow |through |small |arteries |and |arterioles.
Pulmonary |Embolus |- |Sequence |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Remember |for |PE |the |sequence |of |events |is |
hypoxia |(from |obstruction |of |blood |flow |to |a |portion |of |the |lung):
1. |pulmonary |vasoconstriction |
2. |pulmonary |hypertension |
3. |acute |right |sided |heart |failure |
4. |poor |cardiac |output.
Pulmonary |Embolus |- |Treatment |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Give |oxygen, |remove/dissolve |clot, |restore |
flow
pulmonary |vasoconstriction |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-step |the |body |takes |to |compensate |for |
hypoxemia |that |involves |increased |pulmonary |artery |pressure |which |will |help |correct |a |V/Q |mismatch
|(dead |space)
Primary |Pulmonary |HTN |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-1. |progressive |right-side |heart |failure, |low |cardiac |
output |(CO), |and |death
