Description

Nitroglycerine is vasodilator that affects peripheral blood vessels and coronary arteries. Because of its widespread dilation effects on blood vessels, nitro can quickly lower a patient’s blood pressure, sometimes to the point of making a patient hypotensive. Assessment of vital signs prior to administering nitro is necessary to ensure patient safety. Indications for use of nitroglycerine. Nitroglycerine's contraindications & considerations for use. Effects of nitro on patients taking PDE inhibitors. Administration of nitroglycerine to patients with ischemic chest pain. Considerations for patients that took their home nitroglycerine. Monitoring patient's pain and vital signs after nitro administration.

Like a daily audio flash card. This podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each one-to-nine minute Flash Briefing-style episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high-performing team to deliver quality care. Listening to a tip-of-the-day for 14-30 days prior to a class will help cement core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to core concepts and ACLS algorithms, specific information needed to pass the written exam and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.
