Across
  1. 3. Inflammation of the pericardium (the sac surrounding the heart), causing chest pain.
  2. 4. The organ responsible for oxygenating blood and removing carbon dioxide, helping you breathe and sing "lung" notes.
  3. 5. Emergency procedure involving chest compressions and rescue breathing to restore blood circulation and breathing in a person with cardiac arrest.
  4. 9. Medications that constrict blood vessels, raising blood pressure; used in cases of severe hypotension.
  5. 10. Mechanical device that helps patients breathe by delivering oxygen to the lungs and removing carbon dioxide.
  6. 13. A cardiac condition that might make you think of a "wacky pathway" disrupting the normal heart rhythm.
  7. 16. This is a type of temporary ventricular support device, giving a little "impel" or push to the heart's pumping ability.
  8. 18. Also known as adrenaline, this medication can quickly raise blood pressure and heart rate in emergency situations, making you feel "epic" and energized.
  9. 20. This imaging technique uses sound waves, providing a "visual symphony" of internal structures without radiation.
  10. 21. These vessels carry blood away from the heart, and the word might remind you of a major thoroughfare for blood circulation.
  11. 22. A test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, providing information about heart rate and rhythm.
  12. 24. A procedure to diagnose and treat heart conditions using a catheter to access the heart's chambers and blood vessels.
  13. 27. The opposite of intubation, it's like saying "exit the tube" - the process of removing the breathing tube once the patient can breathe independently.
  14. 30. Medications or interventions aimed at improving the force of heart contractions.
  15. 32. A device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore normal rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest.
  16. 33. A medication with a name that might make you think of "milling around" – it's a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that helps improve heart function.
  17. 34. A mechanical device providing support to a weakened heart's left ventricle, ensuring blood flow and giving a "left-hand" to the heart.
  18. 35. Think of this medication as a "dose of boost" for the heart. It's a positive inotrope used to increase cardiac output.
Down
  1. 1. Continuous assessment of blood pressure, heart rate, and other parameters to evaluate the heart's pumping ability and overall cardiovascular status.
  2. 2. The central organ in the circulatory system, often symbolized as a sign of love or emotion.
  3. 6. This system helps manage waste in a controlled way, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment; think of it as a "sanitary strategy" for dealing with digestive remnants.
  4. 7. This medical device, named after its inventor, is a flexible tube inserted into a specific body part to drain fluids or allow monitoring—commonly used in the urinary system for drainage.
  5. 8. This sedative-hypnotic agent is sometimes humorously called "milk of amnesia" due to its milky appearance and ability to induce rapid anesthesia.
  6. 11. A protein released into the bloodstream during a heart attack; elevated levels indicate heart muscle damage.
  7. 12. A feminine hygiene device used in healthcare settings, it helps manage incontinence by providing a non-invasive way to collect urine.
  8. 14. An implanted device that helps regulate the heart's rhythm by sending electrical impulses to the heart muscles.
  9. 15. A small mesh tube inserted into an artery to help keep it open and improve blood flow.
  10. 16. It's a direct pathway into the bloodstream, often referred to as a "lifeline" for administering medications or fluids.
  11. 17. This antiarrhythmic medication is often used to regulate the heart's rhythm, and its name might remind you of an "amiable drone."
  12. 19. Think of this procedure as the insertion of a breathing tube, ensuring a secure "air highway" for patients who need respiratory support.
  13. 23. This cooling device sounds like a "chill sentinel," helping maintain optimal body temperature in critical situations.
  14. 25. Irregular heart rhythm; can be too fast (tachycardia) or too slow (bradycardia).
  15. 26. This approach focuses on providing comfort and relief, like a soothing "pal" during challenging times in healthcare.
  16. 28. A device inserted into the aorta to assist the heart in pumping blood, often used in cases of cardiac failure.
  17. 29. Often referred to as a "heart attack," it occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, leading to damage or death of the heart tissue.
  18. 31. Chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
