Is My Space Heater Making Me Feel Sick

heart failure heart attack

= heart failure; inability of the heart, to promote the supply of necessary blood volume; clinical syndrome of varying origin, not a disease, eg myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, myocarditis, valvular heart disease, permanent hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias
Symptoms

left heart failure (congestion in pulmonary circulation)

right heart failure (congestion in the systemic circulation)
dyspnea
renal failure / Dysfunction
pulmonary edema
Stauungsgastritis; ascites
cough (Stauungsbronchitis)
ankle edema
"rales
distended neck veins
orthopnea
exertional
tachypnea
liver / spleen enlargement
true for both:
cyanosis
tachycardia
Decreased performance
nocturia
oxygen - reduced supply of the organism
may oliguria
severity
  1. NYHA 1: Complete freedom from symptoms are asymptomatic with normal physical activity, affected people (determination by measurement).
  2. NYHA 2: Slight limitation of exercise capacity in physical activity.
  3. NYHA 3: Strong restriction of capacity even at light physical activity. Dyspnea and fatigue occur.
  4. NYHA 4: possible No strain. Every physical activity increased the most in peace insufficiency existing characters such as dyspnea or cyanosis.

How To Make Lips Smaller Mouth



Definition:
irreversible destruction of heart muscle (myocardial necrosis) caused by insufficient oxygen supply, usually by thrombotic occlusion of the supply section of the coronary vessels.
Cause:
# 95% CHD
# breaking an ulcerated atherosclerotic plaque and thrombus formation of a vessel closure
process of atherosclerosis

What happened?
What occurs?
1.
fats are deposited on arterial inner wall plaques arise from

second
fat deposits are covered by a connective tissue layer harden
fat deposits are
third thicken form
new muscle cells within the sediments, the vessel walls

4th
caused cracks in hardened deposits
particles dissolve and form a blood clot
5th
Blood clots seal the already narrowed artery, or plaques on break and bleeding occurs

coronary heart disease

ì Synonyms: CHD = coronary artery disease ischemic coronary artery disease

ì Definition: manifestation of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries.

ì process:



  1. Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries


  2. development of stenosis


  3. reduced blood flow to the heart muscle


  4. mismatch between 0 2 -demand and O 2 offer

ì Etiology: [ á increased =]










risk factors of first order


2 risk factors = heart attack risk increased 4-fold


3 risk factors = risk of heart attack 10-fold increase

risk factors of second order


  • hypertension

  • smoking

  • diabetes mellitus

  • dyslipidemia

  • genetic predisposition

  • age

  • male gender

  • metabolic syndrome


  • sedentary

  • stress

#, there are no anastomoses with the einzellne arteries

# dies at closing tissue from

effect of the risk factor nicotine

adrenal medulla:



  • release of adrenaline and noradrenaline


  • ð peripheral increase in heart rate


  • ð increase in O 2 -consumption of the heart

coronary vessels & Vessels:



  • narrowing of these vessels


  • ð increased vascular resistance


  • ð reduced O 2 offer

vessel walls:



  • promote platelet aggregation


  • increase in fibrinogen levels


  • damage the intima of the arteries


  • ð increase the clotting ability Blood


  • ð encouraging early deposits


  • ð promote atherosclerosis

effect of the risk factor of alcohol









positive negative reduced


  • increase in HDL-cholesterol

  • platelet aggregation

  • reduction of fibrinogen in serum

  • blood pressure reduction with low regular alcohol consumption


  • increase in triglycerides in serum

  • blood pressure with increased regular alcohol consumption (from 30 g / d = 0.3 liters of wine or 0.8 liters of beer)

Why Do ,muslim Men Grow Their Pinky Nail

wound management

W. is not limited to: *
medically prescribed treatment
; infection prophylaxis
* * Perform emergency measures
but also
# from the wound resulting consequences for those affected
# Instructions and advice of the patient's relatives
+ # collaboration of various institutions during observation

# # #
wound pain observation & documentation treatment
# plot the latest scientific evidence
# Research and Evaluation
objectives of W.
  • pain
  • Preservation and promotion of the movement
  • balanced diet
  • maintenance of daily activities / social embeddedness
  • acceptance of the altered body image
  • boosting self-esteem
  • acceptance of new wound dressing materials
  • observance of precautions
WOUND = any tissue defect with more or less gaping Gewebsdurchtrennung the outer skin or mucous membrane.
WOUND HEALING = defect closure by Cicatricial supporting tissue related to epithelialization.
wound history
  • cause of skin damage
  • mobility
  • pain
  • medication allergies
  • nutrition
  • acceptance of the wound
factors on wound healing
;
local factors
general / systemic factors
  • location of the wound
  • pressure and mechanical load in the wound area
  • condition of the wound bed
  • temperature
  • fluid secretion from the wound [»exudate ]
  • size of the defect
  • age of wound complications
  • wound healing as an accompanying disease
  • nutrition
  • age
  • health status
  • immune status
  • Hormone status
  • blood circulation
  • drugs
  • life
  • pain
wound observation
{a} location of the wound
  • often regard development
  • evidence of appropriate care
{b} wound size
  • determined on the basis of wound area and depth
  • calculation: Wundlinieal means of the two longest at right angles to each other to determine diameter lines and multiply
{c} wound depth
= Distance between the level of intact skin and wound bed
  • measuring point = introduce deepest
  • sterile button cannula vertically without sterile cotton swab to the skin surface to the deepest part of the wound, pull dannach and measure
{ d} wound environment
  • is evidence of integrity of the skin, healing phase; health
  • are observational criteria:
    • color
    • maceration (Swollen)
    • Hautstrucktur
    • callus (callus barriers)
{e} wound edge
  • direct wound environment is in wound edge over
  • important info's {f} on healing tendency of the wound
  • vital [healthy] OR nonvital [lifeless]
wound bed / bed
  • color & texture = indicator for various phases of wound healing
  • Color:
    • black / brown = occupied necrotic, dry necrosis
    • yellow = fibrinous evidence, pus
    • pale pink = unhealthy granulation
    • deep pink / pink = healthy granulation Epithelisierungsgewebe
  • consistency:
    • Œ Nekrosen_trocken, leathery, hard, wet, greasy, scaly
    • Granulationsgewebe_leicht-bleeding, glassy, watery, fibrinous occupied, dry, well supplied with blood, shiny wet
{g} =
exudate secretion of fluid wound
  • observation criteria are: size, color / appearance, smell
wound healing phases

catabolic phase anabolic phase
~ Inflammation ~ proliferation / / ~ repair


inflammation
  • activation of biochemical and cellular processes responsible for the defense against infections & Healing are significant
  • leakage of blood and plasma as a result of vascular lesions and local circulation disorders
  • bleeding and clotting
  • resistance to infection and inflammation
  • debridement / wound secretion
  • beginning of the epithelialization
, proliferation
  • neovascularization as condition for formation of granulation tissue
  • granulation (formation of new tissue to the defect filling)
  • epithelialization
  • infection defense
ƒ repair
  • epithelialization
  • transformation to scar tissue and scar contraction
  • maturation (= maturation of collagen fibers, resulting wound contraction)

  • control on size, appearance,
    color, additive, possibly smell



  • liquid level of the drainage needs in post-operative Ü , Assumption of the patient
    be marked with date & time


  • Several

  • wake
    and consistency check regularly Check


  • tubing

  • In

    disconnecting the drainage tube!



c) removing the drainage




  • blood drains: Distance
    if only small amounts of blood are encouraged


  • abscess drainage:
    distance abscess disappeared soon is Drains are
