With epicardial pacemakers, what should you do if there is failure to capture?
Give this one a try later!
Increase the output (mA) of the pacer until a QRS is seen
What are reciprocal leads to the lateral heart (I, aVL, V5, V6)?
Give this one a try later!
Inferior: II, III, aVF
What is the mechanism of action of phosphodiesterase inhibitors?
,Give this one a try later!
Relax airway smooth muscle --> bronchodilator and improved lung
function.
Indicated in mild COPD exacerbation.
Signs of a vertebral artery stroke
Give this one a try later!
* Ipsilateral numbness to face/nose/eye with contralateral numbness to
body
* Facial weakness
* Vertigo
* Ataxia
* Nystagmus
* Dysphagia
* Dysarthria
What are the key characteristics of arterial ulcers and where are they typically
located?
Give this one a try later!
* Location: most often on the foot, in between or at the tips of the toes, at
pressure points from foot wear, on the heels and around lateral malleolus
* Size and shape: Most likely round, with a "punched out" appearance. They
may range in size from small to large, with well-defined edges.
* Color: Yellow, brown or black in color. Skin may also appear pale and
non-granulating.
* Appearance: often deep, but may also appear shallow in early stages.
Skin surrounding the wound is often thin, smooth, taut and dry. Loss of hair
on the leg is also common.
, * Exudate: often dry due to minimal drainage.
* Pain level: Reportedly very painful. Elevating the leg can increase this
pain.
* Other distinguishing characteristics:
Toenails often appear brittle, yellow, deformed, thick and dry. Pulse may be
indistinguishable around the site of the wound. The area around the wound
is likely cool or cold to the touch due to minimal blood circulation.
What conditions are associated with bicarbonate loss --> metabolic acidosis?

Diarrhea
Renal failure
Hyperkalemia
Toxins
What are risk factors for developing DM?
Give this one a try later!
Obesity: BMI > 27 kg/m2
HDL low: < 40 mg/dL
Age > 45
Genetics: parents, grandparents or siblings with DM
