Answer and Explanation:
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is initially characterized by the loss of memory, which is followed by alterations in the mechanisms involved in language, reasoning, visuospatial skills and perception of reality. All these factors must be taken into account when analyzing the care of the patients with this progressive disease state since only professional care can handle it in order to maintain the quality of life for the person transiting this devastating health problem.
Answer:
<u>Ethanol prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u>
Explanation:
Ethylene glycol is an organic compound usually used in antifreeze solutions, solvents and cleaners.
It is abused during self-destruction and accidental intakes.
<u>In the body, ethylene glycol is acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase and is converted into glycolate and oxalate.</u>
Glycolate and oxalate are both nephrotoxic/ kidney damaging substances. Oxalate precipitates calcium oxalate stones in the kidney. Ethylene glycol poisoning also causes high anion gap metabolic acidosis.
In order to prevent ethylene glycol poisoning, the patient is infused with ethanol, ethanol <u>prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u> In this way, ethylene glycol is not metabolized and the formation of nephrotoxic substances is prevented. Alcohol dehydrogenase instead reacts with ethanol to form acetaldehyde.
Answer:
- Cardiac output = defined as the amount of blood that comes out with each ventricular contraction in a minute. Normally in a healthy and young person it is 4.5 L / min.
- Heart rate = It is the amount of heartbeats in a minute. Normally it goes between 60 to 100 contractions per minute.
- Stroke Volume = It is the amount of blood ejected from the heart to the aorta and to the pulmonary artery in each contraction.
Give 30 gentle chest compressions at the rate of 100-120/minute.
