What else can I help you with?
Do you defibrillate asystole during cardiac arrest"?
No, defibrillation is not effective for treating asystole during cardiac arrest.
Do you draw blood from a vein or artery during medical procedures?
During medical procedures, blood is typically drawn from a vein rather than an artery.
Is it possible to have sciatic nerve damage from a cardiac catherazation?
It is rare but possible for sciatic nerve damage to occur during a cardiac catheterization procedure, particularly if there are complications such as inadvertent needle or catheter insertion into the nerve. Immediate symptoms may include sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg, and should be reported to the medical team promptly for evaluation and management.
Are both sets of valves closed during the cardiac cycle?
Pulmonary and aortic valves are semilunar valves having three semilunar cusps each. these valves open with the free ends facing the vessels when the heart contracts and closes when heart relaxes thus preventing regurgitation
During what process does the cardiac sphincter open involuntarily?
the cardiac sphincter opens involuntarily during peristalsis, which is the process of wavelike muscle contractions of the alimentary tract that moves food along the oesophagus down to the stomach. :)
When does majority of the coronary artery fill?
The coronary artery fills during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle
What would happen to the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery if more blood is drived to the lungs during exercise?
The pressure in the pulmonary artery increases during exercise if the cardiac output increases.
What is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administration during cardiac arrest in most patients?
intraosseous
Why is a local anesthetic needed during a cardiac catheterization?
Prior to inserting a catheter into an artery or vein in the arm or leg, the incision site will be made numb by injecting a local anesthetic.
When does the intra- aortic balloon pump inflate?
The intra-aortic balloon pump inflates during diastole to increase coronary artery perfusion and cardiac output, and deflates during systole to reduce afterload on the heart.
What is impaired wall motion found during a cardiac catheterization a sign of?
A finding of impaired wall motion is an additional indicator of coronary artery disease, aneurysm, an enlarged heart, or a congenital heart problem.
Why is it necessary to inject a dye into the catheter during a cardiac catheterization?
After the catheter is guided into the coronary-artery system, a dye (also called a radiocontrast material) is injected to aid in the identification of any abnormalities of the heart.
What artery has the thickest tunika media?
The artery with the thickest tunica media is the aorta. This layer contains a high proportion of smooth muscle and elastic fibers, which enables the aorta to withstand and accommodate the high pressure of blood ejected from the heart. The thick tunica media also plays a crucial role in maintaining blood pressure and facilitating the elastic recoil of the artery during the cardiac cycle.
Do you defibrillate asystole during cardiac arrest"?
No, defibrillation is not effective for treating asystole during cardiac arrest.
What part of the heart fails to work during cardiac shock?
Cardiac muscle or heart muscle is the part of the heart that fails to work during cardiac shock.
What is the difference of the posterior communicating artery during embryonic life and adulthood?
Posterior communicating artery carries blood to "posterior cerebral artery".during embryonic life : it receives blood from "internal carotid artery"later, in most adults : it receives blood from "basilar artery"
What is the complete sequence of events of the cardiac system?
The cardiac cycle begins with diastole, where the heart relaxes and the atria fill with blood. This is followed by atrial contraction, pushing blood into the ventricles. Next, during systole, the ventricles contract, forcing blood into the pulmonary artery and aorta. The cycle then repeats as the heart relaxes again, starting the process over.
