A 68-year-old female who was admitted with shortness of breath. On your arrival, the patient appears drowsy and is on 10L of oxy
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:

  • Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
  • pH: acidosis
  • PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
  • HCO₃⁻: normal

whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.

Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.

  • <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
  • <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>

<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

Rus_ich [418]

the most dramatic recent developments in prehospital emergency care is the use of AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR

<h3>What is AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR?</h3>

The use of electricity to stop an arrhythmia and restore the heart's normal rhythm is known as defibrillation. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that can automatically diagnose the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

AEDs are created to be user-friendly for laypeople, with straightforward audio and visual directions, and the use of AEDs is covered in many first aid, certified first responder, and basic life support (BLS) level cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Frank Pantridge created the portable defibrillator in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the middle of the 1960s, and the Cardiac Resuscitation Company created the first automatic defibrillator for use in public in the late

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

D. ADH

Explanation:

ADH also known as the antidiureitc hormone is secretated in response to low production. The angiotensin II (produced in the lungs) increase the volumen os ADH. As its name says this hormone avoids the water losses in the kidneys in order to do that ADH associates with the AVPR1A recpetors, those receptors open calcium compartiments inside the cells, once opened the vessel constrictions starts avoiding the water losses. Those receptos also stimulates platelet aggregation and coagulation factor VIII, by this way the ADH also avoid hemorrhages.
