Cardiac Normal cardiac output- Normal cardiac output is 60-100 beats per minute. If below 60 is brady cardia and the patient is at risk for poor perfusion. Cardiac output is defined as the amount of b lood pumped from the left ventricle each minute. Remember that arrhythmia is a deviation from a normal rhythm and a dysrhythmia is a disturbance in the normal rhythm. Medications for: contractility, maintaining normal blood pressure, various tachycardias, bradycardias, different degrees of AV block...

Exam 3 Study Guide Shock Syndromes: Shock is a systemic condition where there is an imbalance between the oxygen supply to the tissues/organs and the oxygen needs of those tissues/organs. There are di fferent types of shock. Any situation that decreases vascular volume, blood pressure, or cardiac function can lead to shock. Shock can be divided according to the cause. There are three main types of shock. Distributive shock is further divided into another three categories. Cardiogenic: pump (hear...
