Is it possible to have sciatic nerve damage from a cardiac catherazation?

I assume you are talking about a cath traveling through the femoral artery, if that is the case, there should be no danger to the sciatic nerve during this procedure.

What is the difference between foot drop due to sciatic nerve injury and common peroneal nerve injury?
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same

Cardiac enzymes

When giving an injection in the buttocks what landmarks are used to avoid damage to sciatic nerves?
only inject into the upper outer quadrant is the generally followed rule.
Why are buttock muscules as injection sites for children under age 2 contraindicated?
It is contraindicated because an infant's buttock is so small it is easy to inadvertently hit the sciatic nerve causing pain and possibly nerve damage.

Why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage?
Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.

Cardiac enzymes and troponin elevate what?
Cardiac enzymes and troponin levels do not elevate anything. Rather, when you have a heart attack (MI), they are elevated. Unlike damage to any other muscle in your body, damage to the cardiac muscle causes the release of specific cardiac enzymes. Therefore, if they are elevated, you had damage to your heart (i.e. heart attack). I disagree with the above: If both are elevated then you may have had a heart attack but, if cardiac enzymes alone are elevated and not troponin levels then you will not have had a heart attack. That's my personal experience. Troponin levels are now considered a more accurate indicator of damage to the heart muscle as a result of a heart attack than cardiac enzymes which can apply to any other muscle group rather than the heart. In fact to use the word 'cardiac' in this context is misleading because if you sprain your ankle for instance 'cardiac' enzymes will be released into the blood! So, where is the connection between damage to your ankle and that of your heart? Both enzymes therefore need to be elevated to indicate heart damage reliably.
Does estacy cause brain damage?
it can cause you to have heart faliure and you can go into cardiac arrest, which can give you brain damage and you can die from it

What blood test is most indicative of cardiac damage?
Complete blood count
What are the precautions associated with using mistletoe?
Not to be used by pregnant or lactating women or those with hepatitis. Safe in recommended dosages. Possible toxicity causing liver damage or cardiac arrest. To be used under supervision of a physician.
Why is it important to defibrillate as soon as possible in cardiac arrest?
An AED is a device which uses an electrical shock to restart a heart that has failed during cardiac arrest. This device can be crucial, because when the heart stops beating during cardiac arrest, their blood also stops pumping, which can deprive the brain of oxygen and lead to serious brain damage should they survive. The faster the heart is restarted, the higher the chances of survival.
