🗑
which in worst, cut nerves or compressed nerve   compressed nerve remains mid-line and can't open or close  
🗑
what is the major conducting artery in the system   aorta  
🗑
what is the most important nerve that runs around the aorta and comes back up   recurrent larengeal nerve  
🗑
mechanisms for aneurysm formation   HTN, Aterosclerosis, Deceleration injury, syphilis (#1 cause of ascending aneurysm  
🗑
S/s of ascending thoracic aorta   Trachea:inspir. stridor, esophagus:dysphagia, laryngeal nerve:hoarseness, carotids:occl.,coronary:occl., cardiac tamponade, acute aortic regurg  
🗑
txment of ascending   pulse wave, amplitude, freq. or surg. intervention decrease HR BETA BLOCKERS dimish pulsewave, amplit., freq.  
🗑
preop & post op management of ascending thoracic aorta   L radial aline, EEG, carotid doppler post: HTN, tachycardia, CNS dys,  
🗑
aneurysm of the ascending thoracic aorta   type I and II, usually middle aged  
🗑
aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta is what type   III , usually asymptomatic, deceleration injury, myocardial contusion,  
🗑
txment of type III dissection   conservation medical managment, surgical intervention  
🗑
a dissection is a   tear in the intimal wall;longer to live if tear media will die quicker  
🗑
type I   arise from the ascending aorta 70% of all cases(syhphilis)  
🗑
type II   arise from the ascending aorta, collagen weakness (Marfans syndrome)  
🗑
type III   begin distal to the L SC artery 20% pts(decel)  
🗑

🗑
mortality rate difference b/n suprarenal AAA and infrarenal AAA   suprarenal has the greater mortality rate and kidneys aren't perfused  
🗑
what are the hemodynamic effects of dissection one of the layers   increase SVR, decreased bld vol  
🗑
