CCRN Cardiology Practice Questions Part 2

[@Jesalllll]

IABPs increase coronary perfusion, VADs decrease work by unloading the LV

[@riddhipatel5769]

I appreciate questions like number 20 for the confidence booster lol

[@samos12usa67]

The answer for 17 was not specifically an option to the question! Did not say where the O2 was being drawn from! Tricky... :-)

My thoughts exactly

[@wpevey]

in Question two how do you go straight to LVAD in cardiogenic shock? should have said IABP not major cardiothorasic surgery to fix shock

Thank you so much!

I just want to note that for anyone watching this video now 6 years later, i think question 12 has two right answers. The rationale states that answer D is incorrect, but straight from the book it states that both IABP/LVAD and reduction of preload/afterload are treatments for cardiogenic shock. The answer A might be the "most effective" since an IABP both reduces afterload and increases myocardial perfusion... but it's also vague because a Ventricular Assistive Device makes you think of an LVAD when the rationale says IABP. Idk, I'm taking the CCRN in a few hours.
