    Study Notes

    Management of Hospitalization

    • Positioning is critical: hospital patients often placed in sitting or semi-sitting positions to improve respiratory function.
    • High-flow oxygen is administered to treat hypoxia, which can cause pulmonary vasoconstriction and increase cardiac workload.

    Key Treatments

    • Furosemide (20-80 mg IV):

      • Reduces venous return and alleviates pulmonary congestion.
      • Considered the most important treatment for managing fluid overload.

    • Morphine (2-4 mg IV):

      • Alleviates stress and anxiety in patients.
      • Acts as a venodilator, decreasing venous return and lung congestion.
      • Reduces pulmonary stretch reflex, thereby decreasing tachypnea and respiratory effort.

    • Nitroglycerin:

      • Administered sublingually or intravenously for rapid effect against chest pain and heart strain.

    • Hemodynamic Support:

      • Aim to maintain systolic blood pressure (SBP) above 100 mmHg.
      • Monitoring and adjusting treatment based on SBP response.

    Treatment for Hemodynamic Emergency

    • I.V. Fluids:

      • Ringer's solution preferred over normal saline for massive hemorrhage scenarios.

    • Blood Transfusion:

      • Critical in cases of significant blood loss to restore hemoglobin levels.
