Percutaneous transtracheal ventilation - correct answer-needle cricothyrotomy
what changes in blood gases occur when a patient is hyperventilating? - correct
answer-decreased CO2; increased PaO2
what is the primary danger to the infant during a precipitous delivery? - correct
answer-Cerebral Trauma
Preload - correct answer-stretching prior to contraction
Afterload - correct answer-resistance ventricle of the heart has to overcome to eject blood
Chronotropy - correct answer-heart rate
inotropy - correct answer-how hard the heart contracts
isotropy - correct answer-
automaticity - correct answer-cells ability to spontaneously depolarize
atherosclerosis - correct answer-gradual blockage of an artery by cholesterol and hardened
deposits
syncope - correct answer-
which vessel provides blood supply to the SA and AV nodes in most patients? - correct
answer-right coronary artery
Impulses that originate in both the atria and ventricles simultaneously, meeting somewhere in
the heart, create a strange appearing complex. What is that complex known as? - correct
answer-Fusion beat
ectopic beat - correct answer-a heartbeat occurring outside the normal rhythm
what are the most common causes of premature atrial contractions? - correct
answer-Stimulants such as caffeine or tobacco
electrical axis of the heart - correct answer-mean direction of the action potentials traveling
through the ventricles
