…the rhythm [4]. Mechanical Support : Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) may be required for hemodynamic support [4]. Advanced Therapies : Consideration…

…the corticosteroid immediately. Do not wait for laboratory results. Take a serum cortisol and ACTH first only if this does not delay treatment. Plus fluid…

…10 mg/mL for local anaesthesia in the awake patient — the anaesthetic also improves the chance of success by counteracting vascular spasm. Pressure monitoring set…

…hemodynamics without increasing heart rate or decreasing blood pressure, making it a consideration for patients with low blood pressure secondary to a low cardiac output…

…stenosis, increased pulmonary artery pressure etc . The right atrium must then enlarge (hypertrophy) in order to manage to pump blood into the right ventricle. Right…

…Afterload : Afterload is the resistance that the the ventricle must overcome to pump blood out into the pulmonary artery. Resistance may increase in, for example…

…flow requires pressure ; gravity is not enough. Lidocaine 10 mg/mL to anaesthetise the marrow cavity in a conscious patient. Fixation material for the intraosseous…

…two broad categories: Electrical complications , particularly ventricular arrhythmias. Mechanical or pump failure complications , including heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Most out of hospital deaths occur…

…making it more challenging to pump blood into the aorta. The most common causes are hypertension (in which the pressure in the aorta is increased…

…hour half life, entering cardiomyocytes via the Na + /K + ATPase pump. It undergoes redistribution, making it suitable for assessing viability and hibernating myocardium, at the…

…manages the pump themselves where possible. In impaired consciousness or DKA: remove the pump and change to an infusion or injections Drugs for type 2…

…components of the intraventricular conduction system. Because the conduction system is crucial for rapid and synchronized activation of the ventricles, conduction defects will typically cause…

…SBP for the following reasons: Indicator of Organ Perfusion : MAP is a more reliable indicator of blood flow to vital organs than systolic blood pressure…
