Dr. Stacy Upshaw held a lecture with the other biomed class, as my class got to watch her lecture virtually on October 19. We were taught many essential terms in the field of medicine such as syncope, near-syncope, arrhythmia (irregular rate), ventri tachycardia and v-fib, Asystole, and Cardiac arrest vs. heart attack. What differentiates near-syncopy and regular synopy is that near is where the patient fizzles/grays out and regular is a full collapse. A cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating when the average healthy adult is 60 to 100 beats for minute resting. Heart attacks are different as the arteries blow and blood isn't delivered causing nausea and more (attacks can lead to cardiac arrest). We also took previous information that we hold from our cpr certification and learned how it tight into the daily life in the ER.
