A 67-year-old-man is in the operating room undergoing a hip replacement. Theprocedure is going along uneventfully, and there is no indication of acute blood loss.Suddenly, the patient develops supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous injection isadministered and within 15 s, the electrocardiogram shows normal sinus rhythm. Whatis the most likely drug responsible for this normalization of the electrocardiogram?Select one:O ignocaineQuinidineEsmololVerapamilAdenosine

A 69-year-old woman presents with crushing substernal chest pain and nausea. Laboratory studies show elevated serum levels of cardiac proteins (CK-MB = 8.5 ng/mL; troponin-I = 3.2 ng/mL). A diagnosis of myocardial infarction is confirmed by ECG. Despite treatment, the patient becomes hypotensive and resuscitation attempts are unsuccessful. A cross section of the patient's right coronary artery at autopsy is shown in the image. Which of the following pathologic changes are evident in this autopsy specimen?

1. Mr. Garcia had a myocardial infarction. Explain what happened to his heart muscle and vascular system. What is a STEMII? 2. Mr. Garcia's chest pain resolved after two sublingual NTF at 3-minute intervals and 2 mg of IV morphine. In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a. Explain angioplasty and stent placement. Define occluded occlusion. b. What is the purpose of this medical procedure?

One of the following is a life-threatening arrhythmia and an absolute emergency that should immediately be notified by the MA to the physician in the event it appears in the EKG strips. One of the following is a life-threatening arrhythmia and an absolute emergency that should immediately be notified by the MA to the physician in the event it appears in the EKG strips. Sinus rhythm Sinus tachycardia Sinus bradycardia Ventricular fibrillation
A 50-year-old male patient arrives in the emergency department complaining of severe chest pain. He is taken to the cardiac cath lab for a coronary angiogram and left ventriculogram. The cardiologist discovers a lesion in the left main coronary artery branch and orders an immediate CABG. 1. Why does the location of this lesion make it more dangerous than lesions in other locations? 2. What does the acronym CABG stand for? 3. Assuming that the CABG is successful, what is the patient's postoperative prognosis? 4. Could the cardiologist perform an angioplasty to repair the lesion?
A 56-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department because of substernal chest pain and profuse perspiration. An ECG shows ST-segment elevation in leads II, Ill, and aVF. Echocardiography shows a severe decrease in motility of the inferior surfaces of the left and right ventricles. Cardiorespiratory arrest occurs, and resuscitation is unsuccessful. At autopsy, a thrombus is most likely to be found in which of the following arterial branches? A)Marginal branch of the left anterior interventricular artery B)Marginal branch of the right coronary artery C) Posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery D) Posterior left ventricular branch of the circumflex artery E) Sinoatrial branch of the right coronary artery
While assisting the circulator during outpatient surgery under local anesthesia, you are asked to take the patient’s vital signs for the duration of the case. Explain the following: 1. You do not know what the patient’s normal vital signs are. Do you need to know this in order to carry out this role? 2. You cannot find an available digital blood pressure apparatus so you must use a stethoscope and manual sphygmomanometer. Is this important to the documentation?
How does a Chagas patient’s EKG compare to a normal EKG? Provide at least two differences between this EKG and a normal EKG. Predict what part of the heart electrical conduction pathway might be impaired as a result of the Chagas infection. Explain your rationale
