Vitals Signs On a non-rebreather mask, the heart rate was 128, the blood pressure was 100/60, respiratory rate was 25, temperature was 37.7°C, and SpO2 was 92 percent. The initial survey reveals a patent airway with no evidence of current obstruction. Breathing is tachypneic and regular, with accessory muscle use indicating increased effort. Circulation characterized by tachycardia and mild hypotension. There are 1+ distal pulses bilaterally, and the skin is warm and dry. At the ER, an ECG reveals sinus tachycardia of 129, which resolves without any prior medical management. Sinus at 98 beats per minute. Determine/Identify the life threatening injuries of the patient using ABC and why? A-airway B-Breathing C-circulation

Vitals Signs The patient is on non- rebreather mask and the vital parameters are: Temperature- 37.7 degree centigrade Heart rate - 128 beats/ minute Respiratory rate - 25 breaths/ minute Blood pressure - 100/60 mmHg And saturation - 92% The initial survey reveals a patent airway with no evidence of current obstruction. Breathing is tachypneic and regular, with accessory muscle use indicating increased effort. Circulation characterized by tachycardia and mild hypotension. There are 1+ distal pulses bilaterally, and the skin is warm and dry. At the ER, an ECG reveals sinus tachycardia of 129, which resolves without any prior medical management.

A nurse is caring for a client who presented to the emergency department with an acute asthma exacerbation. The respiratory rate is 36 breaths/min, and a pulse oximeter is 85% on room air with accessory muscle use to breathe. The nurse placed the client on oxygen 4 liters nasal cannula. The arterial blood gas (ABG) is as follows: pH: 7.28, PaCO2: 50 mm Hg, PaO2: 75 mm Hg, and HCO3: 26 mEq/L. Which of the following treatments is the nurse's highest priority? A) Administer bronchodilators B) Administer sodium bicarbonate Administer methylprednisolone (D) Perform a chest x-ray
To evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation for a patient with respiratory failure, which diagnostic will be most useful to the nurse? 1. A chest x-ray 2. Oxygen saturation 3. Arterial blood gas analysis 4. Central venous pressure

A 67yo male is admitted to the unit with a dx of CHF. Pt states, “I get short of breath before I’m able to make it up one flight of stairs to my room.” He also reports having to take frequent breaks while doing everyday activities. During your assessment you observe his skin to be pale pink, with swelling in his hand and feet. You also notice pt leaning forward in the bed to breathe with labored breath sounds.
Ben, 59 is an employee who works in a post office. He is 5ft. Tall and weighs 150 pounds. His vital signs are the following : T 36.3°C; HR 94;BP 135/85; pain level 0. At the clinic, he presents himself with a major complaint of "just not feeling well" Dusting ascultation, you hear a heart murmur. How would you identify Ben's heart murmur?
A male patient has presented with the following results for spirometry and plasma Po2. What is your diagnosis? (Use your lecture notes to derive the normal range for these parameters. Also note that usually plasma O₂ is determined by saturation percentage, not Po2, but humour me here). Parameter Vital Capacity FEV₁ FVC Arterial Po2 Venous Po2 COPD Value 4340 ml 3310 ml 4120 ml O Pulmonary fibrosis Pulmonary oedema 86 mmHg 34 mmHg O Methemoglobinaemia (causes a leftward shift in the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve)

Mrs Alensi returned to the ward 1 hour ago following a Left sided total knee replacement. She has a morphine infusion running at 1mg/hour for pain relief. 30 minutes ago, her BP was 115/75 and her respirations were 16. You have just checked again and now her BP is 85/55 and her respirations are 10. Describe what actions you would take and medications you anticipate administering and provide rationale.
A 45-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department 45 minutes after her husband found her unconscious on the floor. She is unresponsive to painful stimuli. Her temperature is 37°C (98.6'F), pulse is 115/min, respirations are 6/min and shallow, and blood pressure is 110/60 mm Hg. Physical examination shows no other abnormalities. Arterial blood gas analysis on room air shows: pH : 7.08 Pco2: 80mmHg Po2: 45 mm Hg Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's hypoxemia? A) Decreased alveolar ventilation B) Decreased dead space ventilation C) Increased diffusion defect D) Increased shunt E) Increased ventilation-perfusion mismatch
A young woman is brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a severe motor vehicle accident. She is unconscious. Her blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg; heart rate is 150 bpm. She is intubated and is being hand-ventilated. There is no evidence of head trauma. The pupils are 2 mm and reactive. She withdraws to pain. Cardiac examination reveals no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. The lungs are clear to auscultation. The abdomen is tense, with decreased bowel sounds. The extremities are cool and clammy, with thready pulses. Despite aggressive blood and fluid resuscitation, the patient dies. Questions A. What are the four major pathophysiologic causes of shock? Which was likely in this patient? B. What pathogenetic mechanism accounts for this patient’s unresponsiveness? For the cool, pale extremities? C. What forms of hypovolemic shock may have been present in this patient? Why?
