Give this one a try later!
-hospitalized
-chronic illness
-surgery or invasive procedure
-poor nutrition
-older age and newborns
-immunocompromised
, -ventricular rate of 150-250 bpm
-no P waves
-QRS is wide/distorted
-hypotension
-might be talking for now, but will decline rapidly!
-establish IV access and start fluids
-insulin drip: want to lower sugar by 36-54 mg/dL per hour
-patent airway
-K replacement
-if they have AKI + volume overload or K >6 or BUN >120
-if they have end stage renal disease: BUN >120 or GFR <15 mL/min
or encephalopathy or uncontrolled hyperkalemia

injury?
Give this one a try later!
-varices** monitor/prevent!

-paralysis from chest
down -N/V

, -complication of burns

Term
How do vasodilators relate to systemic vascular resistance?
Give this one a try later!
-CVP is WNL
-Pt not responding to -HTN is body's attempt to maintain
fluid resuscitation cerebral perfusion
-want MP >60-65 -therefore, only give BP meds if
-monitor kidney w/ creatinine SBP
and liver with ALT/AST >220
-1st line: 10 U of insulin + amp -SVR is a measure of afterload
of 50
-afterload decreases with
-hemodialysis
use of vasodilators
-Kayexalate: causes diarrhea
-decreased afterload =
to decrease K so check bowel
increased CO
sounds first!
