, lowers heart rate (heart beats slower) and with less
force
widens veins to lower blood pressure
usually given to patients with:
- atrial fibrillation
atenolol
side effects:
- hypotension
- bradycardia
- dizziness
increases heart rate and improves atrioventricular
conduction by blocking the parasympathetic influences
on the heart
atropine initial treatment for:
- symptomatic 3rd degree AV blocks
- sinus bradycardia
- asystole
increases heart rate and effectiveness of the lungs,
therefore increasing oxygenation
increases blood pressure & blood sugar
epinenphrine used for:
- ventricular tachycardia
- ventricular fibrillation
- asystole
oral anticoagulant used to treat and prevent blood clots
warfarin patients must understand the risks of bleeding & that
they may bleed longer from cuts
vasodilator used to relieve chest pain
nitroglycerin side effect:
- hypotension
reserved for patients with:
- myocardial ischemia
morphine
side effects:
- respiratory depression
- constipation
, ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and
heart failure
education:
lisinopril - take with food or milk
- check pulse before taking
- report angioedema
- flushing of skin or persistent cough is normal
ventricular & atrial rate:
- between 100-120 bpm
ventricular & atrial rhythm:
- regular
QRS shape & duration:
- usually normal
sinus tachycardia
P wave:
characteristics
- normal and consistent shape
- always in front of the QRS but may be buried in the T
wave
PR interval:
- consistent interval between 0.12-0.20 seconds
P:QRS ratio:
- 1:1
stress
- acute blood loss
- anemia
- shock
sinus tachycardia causes
- pain
- hyper/hypovolemia
meds that stimulate sympathetic response
POTS syndrome
