What happens if cardiac muscles do not contract?
You would get a heart attack otherwise known as a cardiac arrest.
Which heart condition would you commence CPR for?
cardiac arrest, such as heart attack
What is another term for cardiac arrest?
Dead, or as Fred Sanford would say "The Big One"
Is cardiac arrest result in myocardial infarction?
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating (or arrests). When a myocardial infarction (MI) occurs a portion of the heart either dies or becomes ischemic. Usually arrest wouldn't be due to an MI but if an MI was big enough it would initiate an arrhythmia called fibrillation and the heart would stop pumping blood. This is also called sudden cardiac death. SCD can occur without an MI as well.
If Michael Jackson did not mix drugs would he be fine?
No, he received too much of one drug, that's what caused his cardiac arrest.
If you were to inject a bubble in the blood stream would it go to your brain or your heart?
To your heart, if the bubble is large enough it means cardiac arrest
What would the role of an enrolled nurse be when an emergency response team is called on the ward for a cardiac arrest situation?
what is the roll of an E.N in an emergency situation
Should you perform CPR on a casualty experiencing cardiac arrest?
Cardiac arrest is the only event in which CPR is appropriate. Chest compressions should never be done on a patient with a beating heart. The exception to that is treatment for choking, but that's a bit more advanced. Rescue breathing is appropriate for several medical and trauma problems, but CPR is only done during cardiac arrest. One thing to remember about cardiac arrest is that once someone is in cardiac arrest, they are DEAD. Nothing that a rescuer can do can make that person more dead. Also, in 2010, the standards are changing to what's called CCR (Cerebral Cardio Resuscitation), which is compression only CPR. No rescue breathing at all. If the heart isn't beating, the oxygen does no good. The debate has long been about whether stopping compressions for breaths, even though the cessation is brief, is bad for the perfusion pressure in the organs. They have determined that it is better to not have even brief cessations in chest compressions.
How much 54mg Concerta to overdose?
Taking anywhere above 13 would be considered an overdose, anywhere above 19 and you will most likely be hospitalized, and taking 24 or more pills will result in cardiac arrhythmia or cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is the same heart attract?
No, they are not the same (I have given the definitions of both below; this should help you know what each is and what is the difference between the two). Heart attack: Is caused when there is a blockage in the main arteries (coronary arteries) of the heart. Cardiac Arrest: occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. Sorry, but Cardiac Arrest does not usually occur when the heart "suddenly" stops beating. Cardiac arrest is the worst manifestation of cardiac compromise from an acute coronary event. It happens for a number of reasons, for example if a person has had extensive bleeding and there's not enough blood within the body for the heart to pump, or when the pumping action of the heart becomes ineffective. Maybe the electrical impulses have been disrupted or the heart is not responding properly to the electrical impulses and is "twitching", most commonly known as ventricular fibrillation. That's where CPR and Automated External Defibrillation come in. If cardiac arrest occurred when the heart "suddenly stopped beating" CPR and AED's would be mostly ineffective. Time is of essence. CPR needs to be started w/in 10 minutes of the fibrillation attack/cardiac arrest, or chances are it will be too late for resuscitation. Severe brain and heart damage will have occurred by that point. Cardiac arrest victims are sometimes said to have suffered "sudden death" but that means that the patient died within one hour of the onset of the signs and symptoms. In "sudden death" autopsies typically show the patient did not really have an actual cardiac arrest but usually had significant artherosclerotic heart disease
Would Michael Jackson still be alive if he didn't get addicted to drugs?
i think he would be alive if he wouldn't of taken drugs because that's one of the posabilities which can cause a cardiac arrest
Can you inject lithium carb 300mg?
No you cannot. If you were to inject 300mg's of Lithium Carbonate (IM) you would most likely go into cardiac arrest. Without medical assistance there would be a slim chance of living.
