Corticosteroids/Bronchodilators (Budesonide)
Give this one a try later!
- Decreases inflammation
- Relieve bronchospasm
- Long term management of disease
- Short term flare ups
,What is the risk of O2 treatment in patients with COPD?
Give this one a try later!
- CO2 is constantly high so they burn out their CO2 receptors
(Hypercapnia)
- Brain doesn't sense the increased CO2 in the same way so now it starts to
look instead for low O2 levels
- So if we then give our COPD patient too much O2 - their brain says, "well
- I have enough O2 - I can decrease the respiratory rate"
- This is dangerous for our COPD patients, they're already struggling to
breathe
- COPD patients breath because the brain senses low O2 levels
Sleep apnea criteria
Give this one a try later!
5 or more episodes in one night lasting at least 10 seconds
patients should sleep in low fowlers position (HOB 30 degrees)
Mitral valve prolapse MURMUR DESCRIPTOR
Give this one a try later!
Systolic murmur or mid-systolic click
,Varicose veins info about valves
Give this one a try later!
faulty or incompetent valves
What are antibiotics used for in COPD patients?
Give this one a try later!
Pneumonia or other bacterial infections
Beta blockers for cardiac
Give this one a try later!
Reduction in heart rate, slowed conduction of impulses through the
conduction system, decreased blood pressure, and reduced myocardial
contractility (force of contraction).
Because of these effects, beta-blockers balance the myocardial oxygen
needs (demands) and the amount of oxygen available (supply).

Give this one a try later!
chronic elevation of myocardial wall tension
Failure of the heart to maintain adequate cardiac output to meet tissue
demands
DVT nursing care

Measure amount of swelling in extremity
Monitor lab values if pt is on anticoagulant therapy

filling is impaired
