character, onset, location, duration, what are the components of COLDSPA? the
severity, pattern, associated factors questions you should ask about pain
chest, back, jaw, left arm location for cardiac pain
,atypical symptoms for cardiac pain in women and diabetics
-fatigue
-overall feeling bad
signs of decreased cardiac output low BP, cyanosis, cool clammy skin, dizziness, fatigue,
chest pain, decreased LOC, decreased UO, edema,
SOB
creatinine out of BUN and creatinine, which is more indicative
of renal status because the other is more effected by
hydration status
hemoglobin An iron-containing protein in red blood cells that
reversibly binds oxygen.
hematocrit percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood
cells
Hgb which lab is more accurate to oxygen delivery? Hgb
or Hct?
CBC Complete Blood Count (bloodwork to look for
infection or anemia)
-WBC and Anemia
Cardiac Electrolytes Sodium, potassium, and calcium (contraction);
magnesium (relaxation)
coagulation levels PT, INR, antiXA assay -- all related to heparin
2-3 therapeutic range for warfarin
lipid profile blood test used to measure the amount and type of
lipids in a sample of blood
-cholesterol
-HDL
-LDL
-triglycerides
, HDL good cholesterol
LDL bad cholesterol
less than 200 good cholesterol
good HDL level over 40
good LDL level less than 100
good triglyceride level less than 150
cardiac enzymes/biomarkers Troponin I, C & troponin T
Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)
troponins rise in 4-6 hrs, peak in 24 hrs
-indicate damage is going on somewhere in heart
troponin frequency serial q6-8hrs x 3 to rule out/in ischemia or infarction
BNP released with ventricular stretching
< 100 (elevated with CHF) normal BNP
digoxin narrow therapeutic range 0.8-2
dig toxicity harmful and potentially life-threatening, very
effected by K+
Symptoms-->
nausea, vomiting, confusion, blurred vision, and
irregular heartbeats
d dimer end product of fibrin dissolution, increased with DVT
and PE --> tells you that clots are being broken down
somewhere in the body
