Definition
Acute coronary Syndromes shown to some conditions. The group consists of:
1. Unstable angina
2. Non ST segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)
3. ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Disease process occurs because:
1. Bleeding in the plaque. Plaque causes swelling and a decrease in arterial lumen cross-sectional area.
2. Contraction of smooth muscle in artery walls. This contraction causes contractions in the lumen of the artery.
3. Thrombus formation on the surface of the plaque. This can cause partial blockage of the artery lumen until complete.
The all cause a decrease of blood flow to the myokardium.
Stable angina
Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of ACS in principle the same. In general, patients menyeluh:
1. Chest pain described as: a. Cramped, b. Pain such as indigestion,
c. As a fall, d. As there is a chest bandage, e. There is a case of people sitting on the chest
2. Pain spreading to the left hand, both hands and / or to the chin.
3. Pain likely be followed by: a. Sweating, b. Shortness of breath, c. Nausea and vomiting
Stable angina pain occurs only during exercise and there are fast disappearing at rest.
Unstable angina
Unlike stable angina, unstable angina was defined as occurrence of one or more of the following events: 1. Angina that occurs at a certain time period ranging from several days and increased in the attack. The increase was due to fewer trigger factors or less. This condition is often referred to as crescendo angina. 2. Incidence of recurrent angina episode and often unpredictable. Unstable angina does not trigger because the sport is not so clear. Usually occurs within a short time and disappear spontaneously or may be lost temporarily by drinking virgin glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a sub lingual. 3. No originators and chest pain that extends. No evidence of infarction myokardial
Signs and Symptoms
1. Chest pain described as: a. Cramped, b. Pain such as indigestion,
c. As a fall, d. As there is a chest bandage, e. There is a case of people sitting on the chest
2. Pain spreading to the left hand, both hands and / or to the chin.
3. Pain likely be followed by: a. Sweating, b. Shortness of breath, c. Nausea and vomiting
Assessment
The main complaint is felt and assessment of vital signs. Always using ABCDE assessment principles.
Airway
1. Assess and maintain airway
2. Do the head tilt, chin lift
3. Use a respirator if needed
4. Consider referring to a part of anesthesia for intubation performed if it can not properly maintain the airway.
Breathing
1. Assess oxygen saturation using pulse oximeter with the aim of maintaining oxygen saturation more than 92%.
2. Give oxygen with high alirang via bag-valve-mask Ventilation.
3. Review of Respiratory
4. Perform system checks penapasan
5. Perform chest x-ray examination
Circulation
1. Assess heart rate and rhythm.
2. Measuring blood pressure
3. Perform EKG - may be normal but usually there is ST depression
4. Put Access IV (intravenous)
5. Do blood tests, heart or troponin enjim depending on local protocol (enjim and troponin are usually not elevated in unstable angina.
6. Remember MONA
a. Morphine - given five mg IV
b. Oxygen - high flow
c. Nitrate - give sublingual
d. Aspirin - 300 mg given
7. Consider giving low molecular weight heparin until the patient was free of pain within 24 hours.

Disability
1. Assess the level kesaddaran using AVPU.
Exposure
1. Perform health checks and a history of illness when the patient is stable.
NON-ST elevation myocardial infarction
In some patients with NSTEMI, they have a high risk for coronary artery congestion, which can cause myocardial damage is more extensive and arrhythmias that can cause death. The risk for occurrence of traffic jams can occur in the first few hours and disappear in line with the time

Emergency Acute Respiratory Syndrome
DEFINITIONS
Emergency Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Adult Respiratory Intensive Care Syndrome) is a type of lung failure with a variety of different abnormalities, which resulted in the collection of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
Severe acute respiratory syndrome is a medical emergency that can occur in people who previously had normal lungs. Although often called acute respiratory syndrome, acute adult, this condition can also occur in children.
CAUSE
Could cause any disease, directly or indirectly injure the lung:
Severe and widespread infection (sepsis)
Pneumonia
* Very low blood pressure (shock)
* Terhirupnya food into the lungs (inhaling vomit from the stomach)
* Multiple blood transfusions
* Damage to the lungs by inhaling a high concentration of oxygen
* Pulmonary embolism
* Injury to the chest
* Severe burns
* Drowning
* Operation cardiopulmonary bypass
* Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
* Overdose of drug such as heroin, methadone, or aspirin propoksifen
* Severe trauma
* Blood transfusion (especially in very large quantity).
Symptoms usually appear within 24-48 hours after the occurrence of disease or injury.
SGPA often coincided with failure of other organs, like liver or kidneys. is one risk factor is cigarette smoking than SGPA. SGPA incidence is about 14 among 100 000 persons per year.
SYMPTOMS
Severe acute respiratory syndrome occurred within 24-48 hours of the basic abnormalities.
At first the patient will experience shortness of breath, usually in the form of rapid and shallow breathing.
Due to low oxygen levels in the blood, the skin looks pale or blue, and other organs like the heart and brain function disorders. The loss of oxygen because this syndrome can cause complications from other organ syndrome occurs immediately after or several days / weeks later when the patient does not improve the situation. Loss of oxygen that lasts a long time can cause serious complications such as kidney failure. Without proper treatment, 90% of cases ended with death. When given appropriate treatment, 50% of patients will survive. Because the patient is less able to fight infection, they usually suffer from bacterial pneumonia in the history of the disease. Other symptoms that may be found:
- Anxiety, feeling his end approaching
- Low blood pressure or shock (low blood pressure accompanied by other organ failure)
- Patients are often unable to complain because it looks very painful symptoms.
DIAGNOSIS
On physical examination using a stethoscope, abnormal respiratory sounds (like ronki or wheezing). Blood pressure is often low and the skin, lips and nails sufferer looks bluish (cyanosis, due to lack of oxygen).
Examinations are usually done to diagnose SGPA:
* X-ray chest (indicating the accumulation of fluid in a place that should be filled with air)
* Arterial blood gases
* Calculate the blood type and blood chemistry
* Bronchoscopy.
TREATMENT
Patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome treated in intensive care units.
Oxygen therapy is very important to correct the blood oxygen level, oxygen is often given in high concentrations (100% oxygen may be required). When oxygen delivery to the front lid not managed to overcome the problem, it is necessary to use tools respirator (ventilator). Ventilator delivering oxygen by using the pressure through a pipe inserted into the nose, mouth or trachea; pressure helps put oxygen into the blood. The applied pressure can be adjusted to help keep the opening small airways and alveoli, and to ensure the lungs do not receive excessive concentration due to excessive concentrations can damage the lungs and aggravate the syndrome. Other supportive treatment such as giving intravenous fluids or food (via infusion) is also important because dehydration or malnutrition may occur that could cause the cessation of organ function (a state known as multiple organ failure). Specific drugs given to treat infection, reduce inflammation and remove fluid from the lungs. For example, in infection are given antibiotics.
