Module 16 Perfusion

Nursing flashcards

QuestionAnswer
Stroke-The brain has auto regulation which is not effective when systemic blood pressure fall to ___ or rises above ____ Pg.1235 50 mmHG or 160 mmHg
Stroke-Hypertension (increased systemic pressure) does what to the cerebral blood flow and the cerebral vessels? Pg.1235 Increases cerebral blood flow and overdistention of the cerebral vessels
Stroke-How long does the changes take at the cellular level when blood flow to cerebral neurons & their oxygen are interrupted or decreased? Pg.1235 4-5 minutes
Stroke- What is Pneumbra? Pg.1235 a central core of dead or dying cells is surrounded by a band of minimally perfused cells
Stroke- What is an advantage of Pneumbra and what factors play into reestablishing homeostasis during prolonged ischemia? Pg.1235 Advantage: if penumbra have impaired metabolic activities, they maintain their structural integrity Homeostatsis: timely return of adequate circulation, the volume of toxic products released by adjacent dying cells, & alterations in local blood flow.
Stroke- What are the neurological deficits used to identify location? Pg.1235 Motor pathways cross at the junction of the medulla and spinal cord (decussation), strokes lead to loss or impairment of sensorimotor functions on the side of the body opposite the side of the brain that is damaged
Stroke- What is a Contralateral deficit? Pg.1235 A stroke in the right hemisphere of the brain is manifested by deficits in the left side of the body, and a stroke in the left hemisphere is manifested by deficits in the right side
Stroke-How is a stroke characterized? Pg.1235 It is characterized by a gradual or rapid onset of neurological deficits caused by compromised cerebral blood flow.
Stroke-What are some causes of a stroke? Pg.1235 cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, and cerebral hemorrhage
Stroke-What can cause an ischemic stroke? Pg.1235 Blockage or stenosis of cerebral artery. Blockage may result from a blood clot (either as a thrombus or an emboli) or from stenosis of a vessel caused by a buildup of plaque.
Stroke- What is a lacunar infarct? Pg.1235 Small vessel strokes, called lacunar infarcts, are small to very small infarcts in the deep, noncortical areas of the brain or the brainstem
Stroke- What are the classifications of ischemic strokes? Pg.1235 transient, thrombotic, or embolic
Stroke-What are mini-strokes & how do they manifest? Pg.1235 TIA; a brief period of localized cerebral ischemia that causes neurological deficits lasting for less than 24 hours (usually <1-2 hours)
Stroke-How long do TIA's last and what are they a warning sign of? Pg 1235 Deficits may be present for only minutes or may last for hours. TIAs are often warning signal of an ischemic thrombotic stroke.
Stroke-What are some manifestations that occur with TIAs? Pg.1235 Manifestations include contralateral numbness or weakness of the leg, hand, forearm, and corner of the mouth, Aphasia, Visual disturbances such as blurring
Stroke- If a TIA involves the middle cerebral artery what symptoms may occur? Pg.1235 contralateral numbness or weakness of the leg, hand, forearm, and corner of the mouth
Stroke- If a TIA involves the posterior cerebral artery what symptoms may occur? Pg.1235 Visual disturbances such as blurring
Stroke- If ischemia of the left hemisphere occurs what symptoms may present? Pg.1235 Aphasia
Stroke-What causes thrombotic strokes and what population is the most effected? Pg.1235 Cause:Occlusion of large vessel by thrombus (blood clot) Population: Thrombotic strokes most often occur in older individuals who are resting or sleeping
Stroke- Where are the most commonly found thrombi? Pg.1235 internal carotid artery, the vertebral arteries, and the junction of the vertebral and basilar arteries.
Shock-What are the main etiologic reasons shock occurs? Pg.1222-1224 Hypovolemic shock, cardiogenic shock, obstructive shock, disributive shock, septic shock, neurogenic shock, anaphalactic shock
Shock-What is hypovolemic shock caused by? Pg.1222 Caused by a decrease in intravascular volume of 15% or more This causes a decreased venous blood return=decreased ventricular filling= a decrease in SV, CO, & BP
Shock-A decrease in circulating blood volume may trigger hypovolemic shock, what are the major leading causes to this condition? Pg.1222 Loss of blood volume from hemorrhage, Loss of intravascular fluid from skin(burns), severe dehydration, Persistant & severe vomiting/diarrhea or nasogastric suctioning, renal loss d/t diuretic use or endocrine disorder, 3rd spacing
Shock- what are the four stages of hypovolemic shock? Pg.1223 Loss of blood volume, continued loss of blood volume, continued loss of blood volume, Irreversible shock
Shock- When does cardiogenic shock occur?Pg.1223 Heart's pumping ability compromised to point at which it cannot maintain cardiac output and adequate tissue perfusion
Shock: What are the leading causes of cardiogenic shock? Ph.1223 Loss of pumping action to the heart: MI, cardiac tamponade, restrictive pericarditis, cardiac arrest, dysrhythmias, valve changes, cardiomyopathies (HTN, alcohol, bacterial/viral), electrolyte imbalance, head injury, drugs
Shock- What is the most common type of cardiogenic shock? Pg.1223 MI
Shock-Which Shock is the most common type? Pg.1222 Hypovolemic shock is the most common & often occurs simultaneously with other types
Shock- What is obstructive shock? pg.1223 Obstruction in heart, great vessels that either impedes venous return or prevents effective cardiac pumping action
Shock-What is a physical manifestation of cardiogenic shock?Pg.1224 cyanotic skin, lips, & nail beds
Shock-What is another physical manifestation of cardiogenic shock is progressing when doing a physical assessment? Pg.1224 Jugular venous distention, this is due to increased Right arterial pressure which causes a back flow into the venous cava
Shock-What are some causes of obstructive shock? Pg.1224 1. Impaired diastolic filling (e.g., pericardial tamponade or pneumothorax) 2. Increased ventricular afterload (e.g., pulmonary emboli) 3. Increased left ventricular afterload (e.g., aortic stenosis or abdominal distention)
Shock-What is vasogenic shock? Pg.1224 aka. distributive shock, several types of shock that result from widespread vasodilation & decreased peripheral resistance

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
