Tamponade, Tension Pneumothorax at Autonomic Dysreflexia

🧠 Bakit mahalaga

Ang CARDIAC TAMPONADE, likidong dumidiin sa puso pagkatapos ng chest trauma, cardiac surgery o pericarditis, ay nagdudulot ng BECK'S TRIAD: hypotension, distended na ugat sa leeg at muffled na heart sounds, madalas na may kumikitid na pulse pressure at pulsus paradoxus; gamutin ng emergency pericardiocentesis. Ang TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX, hanging nakulong nang may pressure sa pleural space, ay makikita bilang matinding respiratory distress, walang breath sounds sa isang panig, tracheal deviation PALAYO sa apektadong panig, distended na ugat sa leeg at hypotension; gamutin ng agarang needle decompression at saka chest tube. Ang AUTONOMIC DYSREFLEXIA ay nakakaapekto sa mga pasyenteng may spinal cord injury sa T6 o mas mataas: ang nakakasakit na stimulus sa ibaba ng pinsala, madalas ay punong pantog, saka bowel impaction o pressure sa balat, ay nagti-trigger ng biglang matinding hypertension na may kumakabog na sakit ng ulo, pamumula at pagpapawis sa itaas ng pinsala, pamumutla at goosebumps sa ibaba, at bradycardia. Paupuin kaagad ang pasyente, luwagan ang masisikip na damit, hanapin at alisin ang sanhi (suriin ang catheter, pantog, bituka at balat), bantayan ang blood pressure kada ilang minuto at ibigay ang iniutos na antihypertensive kung hindi ito bumaba. ANAPHYLAXIS: pantal, pamamaga, wheezing, stridor at hypotension sa loob ng ilang minuto mula sa trigger; magbigay muna ng intramuscular epinephrine, saka oxygen, fluids at airway support; ang antihistamines at steroids ay pandagdag, hindi kapalit.

CARDIAC TAMPONADE, fluid compressing the heart after chest trauma, cardiac surgery or pericarditis, produces BECK'S TRIAD: hypotension, distended neck veins and muffled heart sounds, often with a narrowing pulse pressure and pulsus paradoxus; treat with emergency pericardiocentesis. TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX, air trapped under pressure in the pleural space, shows as severe respiratory distress, absent breath sounds on one side, tracheal deviation AWAY from the affected side, distended neck veins and hypotension; treat with immediate needle decompression then a chest tube. AUTONOMIC DYSREFLEXIA affects clients with spinal cord injuries at or above T6: a noxious stimulus below the injury, most often a full bladder, then bowel impaction or skin pressure, triggers a sudden severe hypertension with a pounding headache, flushing and sweating above the injury, pallor and goosebumps below, and bradycardia. Sit the client upright immediately, loosen tight clothing, find and remove the cause (check the catheter, bladder, bowel and skin), monitor blood pressure every few minutes and give the ordered antihypertensive if it does not resolve. ANAPHYLAXIS: hives, swelling, wheezing, stridor and hypotension within minutes of a trigger; give intramuscular epinephrine first, then oxygen, fluids and airway support; antihistamines and steroids are adjuncts, not substitutes.

🏥 Sa totoong buhay

🚽 Ang pasyenteng may C6 injury ay biglang nagkaroon ng blood pressure na 210/120, kumakabog na sakit ng ulo at namumulang mukha. Pinaupo siya ng nurse nang tuwid, sinuri ang urinary catheter at nakitang nakabuhol ito na may 800 mL na naipon. Nang ituwid ang tubo, naubos ang laman ng pantog at bumaba ang pressure sa loob ng ilang minuto. Walang gamot na kinailangan, dahil naalis ang sanhi. Ito ang gusto ng exam na pagkakasunod-sunod: posisyon, sanhi, saka gamot.

🚽 A client with a C6 injury suddenly has a blood pressure of 210/120, a pounding headache and a flushed face. The nurse sits him upright, checks the urinary catheter and finds it kinked with 800 mL backed up. Straightening the tubing drains the bladder and the pressure falls within minutes. No drug was needed, because the cause was removed. The exam wants that order: position, cause, then medication.

• Tamponade: hypotension, JVD, muffled na heart sounds: pericardiocentesisTamponade: hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds: pericardiocentesis
• Tension pneumothorax: tracheal deviation palayo, walang breath sounds: needle decompressionTension pneumothorax: tracheal deviation away, absent breath sounds: needle decompression
• Dysreflexia: paupuin, hanapin ang stimulus (pantog muna), saka antihypertensives; anaphylaxis: IM epinephrineDysreflexia: sit up, find the stimulus (bladder first), then antihypertensives; anaphylaxis: IM epinephrine
