Naloxone is indicated in Is in respiratory failure
opiate overdose when
the patient
An embolic stroke is one Travels from elsewhere in the body
which
What is released from a Histamine
MAST cell?
How does glucagon It causes the release of stored glycogen
work?
The "tonic" component Lack of motion or rigidity
of a seizure refers to
a disorder in which fatty material builds up to form
what is atherosclerosis plaque inside the walls of a blood vessel obstructive
flow and preventing the vessel from being able to
dilate and
contract
what is an embolus moving clot
what is a thromboembolism moving clot
what is the leading cause of myocardial infraction
death in the US
vessels of the heart cannot push blood through them;
what occurs during a

what are ischemic tissue cells without oxygen; these cells can recover with oxygen and
recover
these are abnormal wide complex beats that show up
what is a premature ventricular
contraction on the cardiac monitor where the other rhythms are
narrow complex
wide complex rhythms on the cardiac monitor at a rate
what is ventricular tachycardia
of 150-200; one of the two shockable rhythms; patient
does not have long in this rhythm
disorganized, ineffective quivering of the ventricles;
what is ventricular fibrillation
shockable rhythm; looks like squiggly line some
cardiac monitor
flat line; non shockable; can be converted to V tach or V
what is asystole
fib if enough epinephrine is pushed and an organized
rhythm is obtained

failure the heart muscle

the left side of the heart is having a hard time sending blood back
what is left sided heart failure
to the body, so
fluid backs up in the lungs because the right side of the heart is
operating on its own
fluid back up in the lungs leads to rales; difficulty
what does left sided heart
failure lead to breathing; CPAP is needed to push fluid across the
alveolar membranes back into circulation
the right side of the heart is having a hard time sending
what is right sided heart failure
blood to the lungs, so fluid backs up in the body
because the left side of the heart is still opening on
its own
what does right sided heart pedal edema and scrap edema
failure lead to
as bleeding continues within the brain, intracranial
what happens to brain cells
pressure increases and compress brain tissue, when
during hemorrhagic stroke
brain is compressed, oxygenated blood cannot get into
the area and the surrounding cells begin to die
what is a symptom of "the worst headache of my life" followed by a sudden decrease in
hemorrhagic stroke LOC
what is the tonic phase of a Body wide rigidity
seizure
what is the hypertonic phase arched back and rigidity
of a seizure
what is the clonic phase of a rhythmic contraction of major muscle groups
seizure
occurs when someone has been seizure free due to
what is a breakthrough seizure
medications, taking everything correctly and they
start seizing
what is posturing due to increase in intracranial pressure
when the patient flexes the arm and curls them toward
what is decorticate posturing
the chest and points their toes
the patient points the toes but extends the arms
what is decerebrate posturing
outward and rotates the lower arms in a palms down
manner
what is cardiac output cardiac output= stroke volume x Heart rate
what is the minimal mean 60
arterial pressure required for
proper tissue perfusion

where are baroreceptors the aortic arch and carotid sinuses to sense a decrease in
located pressure
in the carotid and aortic bodies and are stimulated by
where are chemoreceptors
located decease in PAo2 and increase in PACO2 and are more in
important in regulating respirations than blood pressure
what mechanism is failing clotting mechanism
during multiple organ
dysfunction dysfunction
what are the three parts of the pump (heart), container (vessels), and fluid (blood)
perfusion triangle
results when conditions that cause mechanical
what is obstructive shock
obstruction of the cardiac muscle also impact pump
function
is preload increased or decreased
