Coronary Artery Bypass
-
Explain to patient that he may experience side effects such as hallucinations i.e. hearing voices or seeing strange object that are not there. This is due to-----
post perfusion psychosis
-
Chest pain resulting from myocardial ischemia caused by inadequate blood and oxygen supply to the wall of the heart.

The chest pain occurs with activities that involve
exertion or emotional stress and is relieved
with rest or nitroglycerin
- Stable angina (exertional
- angina)
-
)- the chest pain occurs unexpectedly it does not follow physical
exertion or emotional stress.
- Unstable angina(pre-infarction
- angina)-
-
It usually occurs spontaneously, and unlike
typical angina, it nearly always occurs when a person is at rest.
- Variant angina (Prinzmetal's
- or vasospastic angina)
-
A chronic,
incapacitating angina that is
unresponsive to interventions
Intractable angina:
-
-------(called a

Place the client in ------- position to
enhance comfort and tissue oxygenation
semi-Fowler's
-
----------, is a condition in which the
heart can't pump enough blood to the body.
heart failure
-
-----The heart is unable to pump blood out of right ventricle into the lungs. Thereby leading to accumulation of blood in the heart.
Right-sided heart failure
-
-----------will lead to back flow of blood into the lungs and
poor ejection of blood into the system
left sided heart failure
-
-----is congestion of the lung with fluid.
Pulmonary edema
-
dyspnea will be more
pronounce in the night called --------
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.
-
Place the client in
-------- with the legs in a
------- to reduce pulmonary congestion
hence reduce edema, cough and difficulty
