NSE 418 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Calcium Channel, Beta Blocker, Tachycardia
Document Summary
Mark klimek calcium channel blockers & dumpling syndrome. Are like calcium for your heart--->calms heart down. Heart tachycardic-->could use relaxant so give ccb. Are (-) inotroped, dromotropes, chromotropes-->weaken, slow down, and depress heart. Antihypertensive-relax heart & blood vessels-->bp goes down. Antiangina drug-relax heart-->uses less o2 so decrease o2 demand. Antiatrial arrhythmia-treat afib, aflutter, supraventricular tach, and other atrials. Note: better for asthma patients than beta blockers. Measure bp prior to admin hold if systolic bp is <100. Anticoag, beta blockers, ccb, digitalis (digoxin/lanoxin) vfib defib. Know by sight normal sinus vfib vtach asystole. Know p wave (atrial), qrs complex (ventricular), sawtooth-atrial flutter. Regurgitation of acid into esophagus because the upper stomach hernias upward through the diaphragm. When eat, food sits above diaphragm then comes back up. Gastric contents go wrong way but still empties correct rate. Symptoms depend on position (lying down after eat) Gerd at random times is not hiatal hernia.
