Signs and symptoms of metabolic
acidosis
⬇BP, cold and clammy skin, dysrhythmias, and shock
Chronic with CKD
What is the cardinal feature of metabolic A decrease in the serum bicarbonate level
acidosis?
Hyperventilation, with a resulting Metabolic acidosis
decrease in PaCO2, is an expected
compensatory reaction to which acid--
base disorder?
What is the most common blood-borne Hepatitis C
disease in the United States, and is the
leading cause of liver cancer in many
countries?
What could be considered the least Hepatitis A
dangerous of the hepatitis infections,
causes abdominal pain, jaundice, nausea,
and vomiting that can occasionally last for
months?
Main prevention methods for hepatitis strict adherence to infection control (Standard Precautions and Safe Injection
infections? Practices)
Pathophysiology of PE blood clot, thrombus, emboli (air, fat, amniotic fluid, septic [bacterial]), or A-fib
What happens when a thrombus Alveolar dead space is increased which leads to impaired gas exchange
completely or partially obstructs a
pulmonary artery or its branches?
What results in an increase in pulmonary Substances released from the clot and surrounding area cause blood vessels and
vascular resistance—a reaction that bronchioles to constrict
compounds the V./Q. imbalance?
Depends on size of thrombus and area of pulmonary artery occluded by the
thrombus
Dyspnea (most frequent symptom)
Clinical manifestations of PE
Chest pain (sudden)
Anxiety, fever, tachycardia, apprehension, cough, diaphoresis, hemoptysis, and
syncope
Tachypnea (most frequent sign)
Obstruction of the pulmonary artery Dyspnea, sudden substernal pain, rapid and weak pulse, shock, syncope, and
results in? sudden death.
Active leg exercises to avoid venous stasis, early ambulation, anti-embolism
Prevention of PE stockings, compression devices, feet rest on floor/chair (dependent position, not
dangled). Avoid prolonged use of IV catheters and crossing legs.
Treatment goal of PE To dissolve (lyse) the existing emboli and prevent new ones from forming
Improve respiratory and vascular status, anticoagulation therapy, thrombolytic
Treatment of PE
therapy, and surgical intervention
Nasal oxygen, IV infusion lines, vasopressor therapy for hypotension unrelieved
Emergency management of PE by IV fluids, ECG for dysrhythmias, blood draw (CBC, electrolytes, coagulation),
Foley catheter, IV morphine/sedatives
Embolectomy
Surgical management of PE
