Key Topics in Medical Surgical Nursing
Cardiac Anatomy & Physiology
Quick Fact: The heart pumps blood to sustain life, regulated by its electrical system.
Complete Coverage:
- Structure: Four chambers (two atria, two ventricles), valves (mitral, tricuspid, aortic, pulmonary).
- Function: Pumps 5–6 L/min; systole (contraction), diastole (relaxation).
- Blood Flow: Right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body.
- Conduction: SA node (pacemaker), AV node, Purkinje fibers; normal rate 60–100 bpm.
- Nursing Role: Monitor vitals, assess heart sounds (S1, S2), educate on heart health.
- Complications: Arrhythmias, heart failure from structural defects.
- RRB Focus: Know conduction pathway (SA → AV node).
Arrhythmias
Quick Fact: Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms disrupting normal function.
Complete Coverage:
- Types: Bradycardia (<60 bpm), tachycardia (>100 bpm), atrial fibrillation (irregular).
- Causes: Electrolyte imbalance, MI, stress, drugs.
- Symptoms: Palpitations, dizziness, syncope, chest pain.
- Diagnosis: ECG (e.g., absent P waves in AF), Holter monitoring.
- Treatment: Antiarrhythmics (amiodarone), cardioversion, pacemaker.
- Nursing Role: Monitor ECG, administer drugs, prepare for defibrillation.
- Complications: Stroke (AF), sudden cardiac death.
Heart Failure
Quick Fact: Heart failure is the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively.
Complete Coverage:
- Types: Left-sided (pulmonary edema), right-sided (peripheral edema), systolic/diastolic.
- Symptoms: Dyspnea, fatigue, edema, jugular vein distension.
- Causes: MI, hypertension, cardiomyopathy.
- Diagnosis: Echocardiogram, BNP levels (>100 pg/mL), chest X-ray.
- Treatment: Diuretics (furosemide), ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers.
- Nursing Role: Monitor fluid status, weight, educate on low-sodium diet.
- Complications: Pulmonary edema, organ failure.
Myocardial Infarction
Quick Fact: Myocardial infarction (MI) is heart muscle damage due to blocked coronary arteries.
Complete Coverage:
- Causes: Atherosclerosis, coronary artery occlusion.
- Symptoms: Chest pain (radiating to arm/jaw), diaphoresis, nausea.
- Diagnosis: ECG (ST elevation), troponin levels (>0.04 ng/mL).
- Treatment: MONA (morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, aspirin), PCI.
- Nursing Role: Administer oxygen, monitor vitals, prepare for catheterization.
- Complications: Arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, heart failure.
- NORCET Focus: Know MONA protocol sequence.
Valvular Diseases
Quick Fact: Valvular diseases impair heart valve function, affecting blood flow.
Complete Coverage:
- Types: Stenosis (narrowing, e.g., aortic stenosis), regurgitation (leakage, e.g., mitral regurgitation).
- Symptoms: Murmurs, dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain.
- Causes: Rheumatic fever, congenital defects, endocarditis.
- Diagnosis: Echocardiogram, heart catheterization.
- Treatment: Valve repair/replacement, anticoagulants (warfarin).
- Nursing Role: Monitor heart sounds, assess for emboli, educate on INR monitoring.
- Complications: Heart failure, atrial fibrillation.
Congenital Heart Disease
Quick Fact: Congenital heart diseases are structural defects present at birth.
Complete Coverage:
- Types: ASD, VSD, tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
- Symptoms: Cyanosis (TOF), murmurs, poor growth.
- Causes: Genetic factors, maternal infections (rubella).
- Diagnosis: Echocardiogram, chest X-ray, cardiac MRI.
- Treatment: Surgery (e.g., VSD closure), catheter-based repair.
- Nursing Role: Monitor oxygen saturation, prepare for surgery, educate parents.
- Complications: Heart failure, developmental delays.
