|
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
|
Slender balloon tipped tube-a catheter-from an artery in the groin to a trouble spot in an artery of the heart. The balloon is then inflated, compressing the plaque and dilating (widening) the narrowed coronary artery so that blood can flow more easily. This is often accompanied by inserting an expandable metal or plastic stent. Stents are wire mesh tubes used to prop open arteries
**Plaque can build around the stent and reduce blood flow again--> caused by high lipids |
|
Atherectomy
|
Procedure similar to PTCA, but plaque is removed by high-speed drill.
|

Laser Angioplasty
|
Procedure similar to PTCA, but the catheters uses a laser that is able to remove enough plaque to permit the balloon to be inflated in order to dilate the stenosis
|
|

|
Catheter and laser are directed through artery in the leg to the heart. Small holes within the blocked vessel that are created by the laser increase blood flow to the heart

-Anticoagulants = blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin-->decrease platelet aggrigation) May interact with herbs and certain supplements
-Antihypertensives = ACE inhibitors, alpha-adrenegic blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, aldosterone and Na balance, diuretics -Antilipidemics = bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine = resin drugs), fibric acids (gemfibrozil), HMG CoA reductase inhibitors a (lovastatin or simvastin), nicotinic acid, statin drugs (lipitor) -Cardiac Glycosides = digitoxin, digitalis (helps the heart contract harder) |
|
Cardiac transplant considerations
|
-Immuno suppressive drugs (can cause hyperglycemia)-->so body doesn't reject the organ
-Long-term metabolic effect - weight gain, glucose intolerance |
|
When lung function is normal the levels are...
|
-PO2 (75-100 mm Hg)
-PCO2 (35-45 mm Hg) -pH (7.35-7.45) -O2 sat (94-100%) -bicarbonate (22-26 mEq/liter |
|
Malnutrition related to lung function
|
-Decreased function of parenchyma (reproducing cells) of the lungs, wasting of respiratory muscles, and reduced ventilatory drive
|
|
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – COPD
|
-A disease that limits airflow through either inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes or destruction of the alveoli
***Distruction of exchange |
|
Emphysema
|
-type I COPD
-Destruction of the alveoli characterized by dilation and destruction of the air spaces distal to the terminal bronchioles, destruction of the alveolar membrane and loss of bronchi elastic recoil. Symptoms: Over inflation, collapse and dypsnea (shortness of breath). |
|
Chronic bronchitis
|
-Type 2 COPD
-Characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the lumen of the bronchi. Symptoms: excessive mucus, productive cough, infection, and bronchospasm. |
|
Carbonic acid
|
-Releases H+ ions and gets rid of CO2
***How the body deals with acd-base balance |
|
What are the two things that deal with acid-base balance in the blood?
|
-Lungs
-Kidneys = form bicarbonate and ammonia |
|
What happens to the lungs when someone is extremely malnurished?
|
-Lung function decreases
|
|
Management of COPD
|
-Drugs: antibiotics, bronchodilators, mucolytic agents, steroids, leukotriene inhibitors
-Increased BMR -->feed too much makes lungs work harder -Increase protein (be mindful of respiratory quotient) ***repletion without overfeeding |
|
Respiratory quotient numbers
|
-CHO = 1.0
-Protein = 0.8 -TGL = 0.7 |
|
Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
|
-Respiratory failure resulting from an acute insult to the lungs that occurs when the respiratory system is no longer able to perform its normal function
-Due to those that directly cause injury to the lung, such as pneumonia, aspiration, or an inhalation injury, or those that result in indirect injury precipitated by events outside the lung, such as sepsis, trauma, or pancreatitis **Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome |
|
Diagnosis of ARDS
|
Blood gases =
-O2<60 mm Hg (Normal 80-100) -CO2>50 mm Hg (Normal 35-45) -pH<7.3 (normal 7.35-7.45) = acidosis **hopefully go back to normal function after provided a respirator and nutrients |
|
Weaning off respirator
|
-Use parenteral, enteral, transitional diets. Need 1/2 calories from new feeding before decreasing old. Soft diets are best for patients first consuming an oral diet as throat is often sore from tube.
-Calories - maintenance level REE X 1.2-1.4 or RDI energy equations -Protein - 1.5-2.0 g/kg/day |
|
What reduces wound healing?
|
Hyperglycemia
|
|
Bronchial asthma
|
-A chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway involving many cells and cellular elements, such as mast cells, eosinophils, T lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and epithelial cells. Inflammation is the primary problem thought to be primarily immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated.
-Signs: wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, coughing -Obesity seems to be associated with asthma -Nutritionally adequate diet, antioxidants especially vitamin C |
