In this lecture, we will quickly break down the different types of respiratory drugs and how they are somehow connected with anaphylactic medications, which are both necessary to increase oxygenation inside the body, specifically, the lungs. BAM and SLM If there’s the presence of lung inflammation, there are a couple of ways to decrease the condition – BAM and SLM.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a term that describes when a blood clot forms inside the coronary arteries – there are two types: stable angina vs unstable angina. Angina technically means chest or heart pain, and both stable and unstable angina occur due to low oxygenation of the heart. Stable angina occurs when there is chest pain with activity (usually
After going through the functions of the liver in our previous lecture, we’ll be discussing the different types of liver diseases like hepatitis, ascites, cirrhosis, and encephalopathy. We’ll also tackle the different ways on how clients with these diseases should be cared for. We highly recommend that you go through the first liver lecture before continuing with this one because
In our previous lectures, we have started discussing the different types of drugs used for heart failure or other heart-related conditions, namely: inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic. A quick way to remember these drugs is to categorize them into A, B, C, D, and E. Since we’ve already discussed A and B, we’ll focus on the C. The “C” stands for
After going through the three things that the kidneys filter, we’ll head on to what the kidneys produce that helps in creating red blood cells within the bone marrow. We’ll also tackle some of the kidneys’ main functions, with a bit of pathophysiology. Let’s start. Kidney Malfunction If the kidneys are not working properly or are malfunctioning, there are a
In this lecture, we will go through the different complications of inserting peripheral catheters through different scenarios and questions. Let’s start. Scenario 1: A certified doctor is inserting a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line to a client. As the doctor inserts the central line and tethers it through, the client, all of a sudden, starts to experience shortness of
Respiratory failure is a lung issue that happens when there is insufficient oxygen passing through the lungs and into the blood. For proper functioning of the different parts of the body, it needs ample amount of oxygen in the blood. Going into this respiratory failure lecture, there will be ventilation problems versus oxygen exchange problems. There are a couple of
