Summary Introduction

Case summary:

The given case is of a patient named Mr. D.A., who is 49-years-old and is the driver of a bus. He met with an accident and was admitted to the emergency room with blunt trauma. He complained of chest, left upper quadrant, and epigastriapain. The examination revealed low blood pressure and mild tachycardia. Later on, the blood pressure fell down and the heart rate increased with muffled heart sound. The patient complained of the pain radiating to the back.

Characters in the case:

Donald Ayers, a 49-year-old male, and paramedics.

Adequate information:

The results of the examination revealed that the heat beat was 110 bpm and the blood pressure was 105/75 mm Hg. After a few minutes, the blood pressure increased and the heart rate also increased.

To determine:

The reason behind the bulging of the veins in Mr. Ayer's neck.

Doris is a 90 year old grandmother that is complaining of shortness of breath and intermittent fainting spells. Her doctor runs various tests and finds that the atrioventricular (AV) node is not functioning properly. What is the suggested treatment?
K.R. is a 46-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with unremitting chest discomfort. The pain started while he was shoveling snow from his walkway. He had experienced chest discomfort with activity previously, but the pain had subsided with rest and he sought no medical help. This time the pain did not subside and became increasingly severe, radiating to his left arm and lower jaw. In the emergency department, an ECG and cardiac enzymes were obtained. The cardiac monitor showed sinus tachycardia with occasional premature ventricular complexes. After receiving results of his ECG and cardiac enzymes, the physician diagnoses K.R. with a myocardial infarction (MI). What drug treatment would you expect to administer for the pain associated with MI? Why? (List 2 drugs that would help treat the pain associated with MI. Explain why these drugs are helpful in reducing pain.)   What medical treatment, other than medications, would you expect K.R. to undergo for MI? Briefly…
