MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nursing Process If tachycardia is prolonged or the rhythm is abnormal, treatment may include medications, implanted medical devices, surgery, and cardioversion. The nurse will closely monitor patients on continuous telemetry, assess vital signs, and implement advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) as necessary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Compensatory tachycardia is a common response for patients with significantly low blood pressure to reduce cardiac output. Initially, this compensatory response has a favorable effect on cardiac output but can be harmful when it becomes persistent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tachycardia of atrial or ventricular origin reduces stroke volume and cardiac output, particularly when the ventricular rate is greater than 160 beats/min. The stroke volume becomes reduced because of decreased ventricular filling time and decreased ventricular filling (preload) at high rates of contraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vagal maneuvers. Vagal maneuvers include coughing, bearing down as if having a bowel movement and putting an ice pack on the face. Medications. If vagal maneuvers don’t stop the fast heartbeat, medication may be needed to restore the heart rhythm. Cardioversion. 22-Oct-2022
