What are normal hemodynamic parameters? Find out the normal ranges for hemodynamic parameters and their equations below.
These Cheat Sheet will help you to memorize some important things in hemodynamic system.
Hypovolemic, Cardiogenic & Septic Shock: Prevention, treatment, and causes
Hypovolemic shock is a life-threatening condition that results when you lose more than 20 percent (one-fifth) of your body’s blood or fluid supply.
Cardiogenic shock is a condition in which your heart suddenly can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s needs. The condition is most often caused by a severe heart attack, but not everyone who has a heart attack has cardiogenic shock.
Septic shock is a potentially fatal medical condition that occurs when sepsis, which is organ injury or damage in response to infection, leads to dangerously low blood pressure and abnormalities in cellular metabolism.
These nerves are the olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, vestibulocochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory and hypoglossal.
Five cranial nerves have mixed sensory, motor and parasympathetic function. These five will be discussed in detail here. The mixed cranial nerves are CN III Occulomotor, CN V Trigeminal, CN VII Facial, CN IX Glossopharyngeal and CN X Vagus.
Lymphatic system: Anatomy, function, and diseases
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
The lymphatic system is comprised of 5 major components:
Vessels
Nodes
The Tonsils
The Thymus
The Spleen
The lymphoid organs assist the lymphatic system. They include the thymus, spleen, tonsils, and appendix, along with some special tissue in the gut: The thymus: The thymus is located in the thoracic cavity, just under the neck. It’s made up of two lobes of lymphoid tissue.
The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. If it’s not working properly, fluid builds in your tissues and causes swelling, called lymphedema. Other lymphatic system problems can include infections, blockage, and cancer.
Primary Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s Disease)
Primary Adrenal Insufficiency, also called Addison’s disease, is a severe or total deficiency of the hormones made in the adrenal cortex, caused by its destruction.
Primary Nursing Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements related to insufficient dietary intake as evidenced by anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
Outcomes: Fluid balance; Hydration; Nutritional status: Food and fluid intake; Nutritional status: Energy
Interventions: Fluid/electrolyte management; Hypoglycemia management; Nutritional management; Nutritional counseling
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body’s metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Primary Nursing Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Activity intolerance related to increased metabolism as evidenced by exhaustion, palpitations, and/or fatigue
Outcomes: Energy conservation; Endurance; Self-care: Activities of daily living; Physiological; Mobility level; Nutritional status: Energy; Symptom severity
Interventions: Energy management; Exercise promotion; Exercise therapy: Ambulation; Nutritional management; Medication management; Surveillance; Vital signs monitoring
EKG Indication Heart Attacks
ECG Interpretation in Myocardial Ischemia
ECG indications of myocardial ischemia, injury, and infarction
Diagram Of A Heart attack for Nursing Students
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression (A). Depression is reversible if ischemia is only transient but depression persists if ischemia is severe enough to produce infarction. T wave inversion with or without ST segment depression (B) is sometimes seen but not ST segment elevation or Q wave.
Dysrhythmia Cheat Sheet
Therapeutic drug monitoring refers to the individualisation of dosage by maintaining plasma or blood drug concentrations within a target range (therapeutic range, therapeutic window).

The types of hypersensitivities can get a little confusing, especially 2, 3, and 5.
Type 1: Plain old allergy (asthma, anaphylaxis, atopy)
Type 2: Antibody-dependent, cytotoxic (think of autoimmune hemolytic anemia)
Type 3: Immune complex disease (like a lot of the autoimmune conditions: rheumatoid, lupus)
Type 4: Delayed/Cell-Mediated (mediated by T cells, T cells are slower to react than antibodies, so this reaction takes a couple days)
Type 5: Receptor-mediated autoimmune disease (Graves, myasthenia gravis)
