Скачать или смотреть Cardiology Review for Paramedics Part 2

This lecture-style video provides a comprehensive overview of various cardiology topics relevant to paramedics and other healthcare providers. We'll explore the causes, signs, symptoms, and prehospital treatment protocols for conditions like Left and Right Ventricular Failure, cardiogenic shock, and other cardiac emergencies. We also touch upon crucial concepts like drug pharmacology, reversible causes of cardiac arrest, and rare, but critical, presentations such as aortic dissections and patients with LVADs.

What You'll Learn Section
The key differences between Left Ventricular Failure (LVF) and Right Ventricular Failure (RVF) symptoms and treatment.

How to utilize CPAP and nitroglycerin effectively for LVF patients.

Why some EMS protocols no longer include diuretics like Lasix for CHF.

How to recognize the signs of cardiogenic shock and the importance of pressor administration.

The indications and mechanisms of action for common cardiology drugs like Adenosine, Diltiazem, and Atropine.

The reversible causes of cardiac arrest, known as the "H's and T's."

How to identify and manage a patient with an aortic dissection, including the unique "tearing pain" and blood pressure differentials.

What a Left Ventricular Assisted Device (LVAD) is and why CPR is contraindicated for these patients.
