MEDSURG 2 FINAL EXAM. Medsurg 2 FINAL EXAM Cardiac Assessment Cardiac Conduction System Generates and transmits electrical impulses that stimulate contraction of the myocardium SA node  AV node  Bundle of his (branches into right and left)  purkinjie fibers SA node which is the primary pacemaker of the heart o A patient has a HR of 90. Means The SA node is working because normal HR is 60-100 o If the HR falls below the normal value, there is a problem! AV node which is th...

PN3-EXAM2-Final Cardiac Normal cardiac output- Normal cardiac output is 60-100 beats per minute. If below 60 is brady cardia and the patient is at risk for poor perfusion. Cardiac output is defined as the amount of blood pumped from the left ventricle each minute. Remember that arrhythmia is a deviation from a normal rhythm and a dysrhythmia is a disturbance in the normal rhythm. Medications for: contractility, maintaining normal blood pressure, various tachycardias, bradycardias, differ...
