Dysrhythmia management - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Sinus node dysrhythmias − Sinus bradycardia • HR < 60 bpm • Sinus node creates impulse at slower than normal rate • Characteristics of NSR but a slower rate − Etiology: sinus bradycardia • Sleep • Athletic training • Hypothyroidism • Vagal stimulation ▪ Vomiting, suctioning, pain • Medication ▪ CCB (decrease HR/BP), amiodarone, beta-blockers • Increased intracranial pressure • CAD/Acute MI

Describe treatment of dysrhythmias correct answer: To determine if treatment is necessary, assess the patient. Then ask the following questions: Is he or she experiencing signs and symptoms of decreased cardiac output? Is the dysrhythmia potentially life threatening? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, the patient will need to treatment for the dysrhythmia. ***WE WILL DISCUSS TREATMENTS OF DYSRHYTHMIAS BASED UPON CURRENT ACLS TREATMENT ALGORITHMS CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS ...

Students in NUR 4120 need to review slides 4-29, focusing on cardiac rhythms, independently. Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR): Rate: 60-100 bpm. Evaluation: Rhythm assessments are within normal limits. Sinus Bradycardia: Rate: Less than 60 bpm. Characteristics: Same features as NSR but slower. Causes: Sleep, athletic training, and hypothyroidism. This material is crucial for understanding heart rhythm basics and will not be covered during class.

A 42-year-old man is trapped from the waist down beneath his overturned tractor for several hours before medical assistance arrives. He is awake and alert until just before arriving in the emergency department. He is now unconscious and responds only to painful stimuli by moaning. His pupils are 3 mm in diameter and symmetrically reactive to light. Prehospital personnel indicate that they have not seen the patient move either of his lower extremities. On examination in the emergency depart...
