Mona was flying cross country and ate the snack provided by the airline. After about 5 minutes,
she began to wheeze and her respirations became labored. A doctor onboard administered
epinephrine, and the symptoms abated. The doctor did not explain the reason for the reaction to
Mona.
Two days later, Mona was sharing some of her snack mix with her nephew when she began to
wheeze again. She became severely tachypneic and was transported to the ER. She required
treatment with spinephrine and steroids. She was stabilized and sent to the PCU. Mona is 8
months pregnant. She is currently exhibiting the following signs and symptoms:
EKG ST at 128 without ectopy
Manual cuff pressure 88/58
Skin, cool, pale
Capillary refill 4 seconds
RR 30, breath sounds: LLL crackles
Temp 99.4'F (oral)
Mentation: Awake, restless
Mona is probably developing:
Anaphylactic shock
Cardiogenic shock
Hypovolemic shock
Distributive shock

Calculate CI (cardiac index)
HR 80
BP 110/70
SV 60
BSA 2.0 m2
Expressed in L/min/m2
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy develops during the first 3 to 4 months after completion of
pregnancy. Sometimes the cause is myocarditis.
2/3
Some people that the heart is virtually static during diastole.
During this period, the cardiac vessels and chambers fill—a process that takes up 2/3s of
the time necessary to complete the cardiac cycle
Time
The vertical lines on the EKG graph paper represent time. When conduction defects occur,
the tracings are wider because it takes more time to travel the same distance.
CI=CO/BSA
CO=HR X SV
CO=80 X 60
CI=4800/2.0
CI=2400
CI=2.4 L/min/m2
