Venous hemodynamics - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

While auscultating the heart at the third intercostal space, left sternal border, the nurse notes a high-pitched, scratchy sound that increases with exhalation with the client leaning forward. The nurse would document which of the following? A) Pericardial friction rub B) Midsystolic click C) Summation gallop D) Aortic ejection click - A) Pericardial friction rub During chest auscultation, the nurse hears a quiet murmur immediately upon placing the stethoscope on the client's chest. The ...

obstructive shock Shock that occurs when there is a block to blood flow in the heart or great vessels, causing an insufficient blood supply to the body's tissues. distributive shock maldistribution of blood volume, including: -anaphylactic shock (activation of immune response d/t allergic reaction) -neurogenic shock (loss of sympathetic tone r/t traumatic spinal cord injury) -septic shock (altered immune response r/t infectious process) Previous Play Next Rewind 10 seconds...

What are hemodynamics? - >>physical principles of blood flow based on pressure and resistance How are hemodynamics used clinically? - >>they are a diagnostic tool that helps us gather more data about our patient How is pressure calculated? - >>blood flow times resistance If either blood flow and/or resistance goes up, what happens to pressure? - >>it goes up If blood volume increases, what happens to pressure? - >>it increases How is arterial pressure monitor...

Questions You Might Have About the Examination The practice of nursing is regulated by the states to assure the public that only those nurses who have the necessary knowledge and skills are licensed to practice. One requirement for becoming a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) is graduation from an approved school of practical/vocational nursing. Another requirement is passing an examination. All of the states have agreed to use the same ®® examination, NCLEX-PN . The NCLEX-PN is...

Hemodynamics - The study of the dynamics of blood circulation in order to determine the adequacy of cardiac output. It is monitored closely for changes in fluid status and cardiac health. Preload - The volume of blood in the right atrium or left ventricle at the end of diastole or beginning of systole. It is quantified with central venous pressure (CVP) & pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) which reflect the patients volume status. The end-diastolic volume (EDV) is related to the am...
