Answers UPDATED!!!!.
new systolic murmur at the apex.: Acute mitral regurgitation can result from myocardial
infarction. It is caused by ischemic necrosis/rupture of a papillary muscle and can lead to
pulmonary edema.
gum elastic bougie. Obesity leads to a number of anatomic and physiologic
, changes that increase the difficulty of airway management. For a successful
cricothyrotomy, the provider must consider the difficulties associated with a patient’s
habitus. An open cricothyrotomy is performed almost completely by feel in obese
patients due to excess tissue and inability to visualize normal anatomic landmarks. A
gum elastic bougie allows access to the trachea and passage of the endotracheal tube
over the bougie. Retraction may be required for an open cricothyrotomy performed
on an obese patient, but a right-angle retractor is the wrong tool in this case. A
tracheal hook is used to secure the trachea and maintain its position. A standard
Shiley tracheostomy tube is most likely be too short to extend through the excessive
neck tissue and cannulate the trachea. A 6.0-mm endotracheal tube will provide the
length required to slide over the gum elastic bougie and insert into the trachea. An
8-mm endotracheal tube is too large.
