Oropharynx: Located between soft palate and epiglottis.
Facial nerve: 7th cranial nerve. Supplies motor fibers to muscles of facial expression
Trigeminal nerve: 5th cranial nerve. Supplies sensation to teeth and jaws.
Vagus nerve: 10th cranial nerve. Supplies fibers to many parts of body. (Ears, tongue
pharynx, larynx, thoracic/abdominal viscera).
Pulmonary veins: Return oxygenated blood to left atrium from lungs. Only veins tha
carry oxygenated blood.
Superior vena cava: Drains head, neck, and upper extremities into right atrium.
Adrenal glad: Secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and corticosteroids.
Ectopic focus: Displaced central point of origin for cardiac dysrhythmias.
Inferior alveolar artery: Supplies blood to teeth, mandible, lower lip, and chin.
Inferior vena cava: Drains lower extremities and abdominal viscera into right atrium
Brachial artery: Supplies blood to shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
Facial artery: Supplies blood to face, tonsil, palate, and submandibular gland.
T's of pulseleas electrical activity: Toxins, trauma, thrombosis, tension pneu
mothorax, tamponade
H's of pulseless electrical activity: Hydrogen ion, hypoxia, hypovolemia
hypoglycemia, hypo/hyperkalemia, hypothermia.
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA): Normal appearing tracing, but patient has n
pulse.
Asystole: Cessation of all contractions. "Flat line" usually follows v. fib or v. tach
Treated with CPR.
, DAANCE: all modules
Ventricular fibrillation v. fib: Course v. fib with prominent, erratic baseline or fine v
fib with far less pronounced vacillations. No p, qrs, or t. Often precedes asystole.
Class III: Pt has severe systemic disturbance or disease.
Class IV: Patient has a severe, life threatening systemic disorder.
Class V: Patient is moribund with little chance of survival. Surgery is done i
desperation.
Class II: Patient has mild to no systemic disturbance. Smokers included.
Class I: Patient has no organic, biochemical, psychiatric, or physiological disturbance
Beta blockers: Reduce the rate and force of contraction of the heart. (Atenolol)
Vasodilators: Reduce the pressure vasculature. (Norvasc, lisinopril, diovan)
Diuretics: Reduce the volume of fluid in system. Used to treat coronary artery disease
(HCTZ, Lasix)
Hypertension: Blood pressure of 140/90 or greater. (Hx of nosebleeds, headaches
and dizziness) 67. Rate of ventricles: 20-40
68. Rate of AV node: 40-60
69. Rate of atria: 60-80
70. Arrest rhythms: Ventricular dysrhythmias
71. Rate of SA node: 60-100
72. Social history review of systems: Patients smoking and alcohol history/cur- ren
use should be noted along with illegal drug use.
73. Ventricular foci: Located in ventricles
74. Supraventricular foci: Located above level of ventricles in atria.
75. Antibiotic prophylaxis for total joint replacement patients: Previous join
infection, 2 yrs following joint replacement, malnourishment, hemophilia, diabete
type I, immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients.
76. AV blocks: PR length is prolonged or varies in length due to impulse bein
partially or completely blocked as it attempts to travel from atria to ventricles vi
AV node.
, DAANCE: all modules
77. Patients who need antibiotic prophylaxis: Previous infective endocarditis
prosthetic valves, cardiac transplant patients who develop valvulopathy
congenital heart disease.
78. Congestive heart failure: Condition caused by the heart is unable to handl
blood volume coming back to it from either the lungs or peripheral circulation.
79. 3 characteristics of normal heart rhythms: Rate, regularity, and rhythm.
80. MVP (mitral valve prolapse): One or more of valve flaps don't close complete
ly allowing redundancy of valve leaflets into left atrium.
81. Rheumatic heart diseases: Condition caused secondary to rheumatic feve
(beta hemolytic streptococci) which damages the heart valves, primarily the mitra
valve, and causes heart murmur.
82. MI (myocardial infarction): Heart attack. Six should be performed on patient un
6 months after.
83. Right sided heart failure: Increased pressure of fluid in blood vessels cause
fluid to leak into body's tissues causing peripheral edema and ascites
84. Left sided heart failure: Increased pressure of fluid in blood vessels causes flui
to leak into lungs. Patients often present with shortness of breath.
85. Review of systems musculoskeletal: Weakness of extremities, atrophy o
muscles, frequent cramping of muscles.
86. Review of systems neurologic: Weakness of extremities, hx of projectil
vomiting, headaches, visual disturbances, any unexplained pain or numbness i
body.
87. Review of systems pulmonary: Shortness of breath, dizziness, chronic cough
wheezing, productive cough.
88. Review of systems genitourinary: Painful urination, blood in urine, frequen
urination, incontinence, discharge in urine.
89. Review of systems gastrointestinal: Loss of appetite, swallowing, change i
taste, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation.
90. Review of systems skin: Bruising, bleeding, discoloration.
