Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Heart Failure Clinical Process Guideline" by Deborah Ayers, RN, MSN.

This medical PowerPoint presentation gives a general clinical process guideline for the management of heart failure.

Heart failure is a chronic condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. It is important to note that the clinical process guideline may vary based on individual patient characteristics, comorbidities, and preferences, and should be individualized accordingly. Regular communication between healthcare providers and patients is also essential for optimal heart failure management.

Slide 6-

Heart Failure A constellation of signs/symptoms that result from the inability of the heart to pump blood to the body at a rate the body needs.
Slide 7-

Care Process Steps It always begins with an “Assessment”
Slide 8-

Assessment Residents with history/or risk factors for heart failure Transfer data Labs, EKG, echo, chest film Anemia, COPD, other lung diseases Previous treatment Hospitalization for heart failure.
Slide 9-

Assess Risk Factors Coronary artery disease Angina/infarction Chronic hypertension Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy Valvular heart disease Arrhythmia Anemia Fluid volume overload with noncardiac causes Thyroid disease
Slide 10-

New admissions with CHF Look for signs and symptoms Diagnostic test results Document the findings
Slide 11-

Staff and practitioner . . . identify The severity and consequences of heart failure
Slide 12-

Myocardial Dysfunction Systolic Dysfunction Left ventricle has reduced muscle contractility Diastolic Decreased left ventricular filling Caused by ventricular stiffness, decreased rate of relaxation, or rapid heart rate
Slide 13-

Functional Assessment Class I No limitations of physical activity. No shortness of breath, fatigue, or heart palpitations with ordinary physical activity. Class II Slight limitation of physical activity. SOB, fatigue, heart palpitations. Patient comfortable at rest. Class III Symptoms with minimal exertion. SOB, fatigue, heart palpitations. Patients comfortable at rest. Class IV Severe to complete limitation of activity. SOB, fatigue, heart palpitations, even at rest.
Slide 14-

American College of CardiologyAmerican Heart Association Stage A High risk of HF, no structural heart abnormality Stage B Structural heart disorder, no symptoms Stage C Structural disorder, past or current HF symptoms Stage D End-stage disease, requiring specialized treatment
Slide 15-

Diagnosis/Cause Identification Practitioner and staff clarify known causes of a resident’s heart failure, or seek causes if not identified.
Slide 16-

Is a work-up appropriate? with terminal/end stage conditions if it would not change management in a resident that refuses treatment if burden of the work-up is greater than the benefit of the treatment if causes are reversible
Slide 17-

What’s in a work-up? History/exam Lab tests Chest x-ray EKG All look for reversible causes of CHF
Slide 18-

Treatment/Problem Management Heart failure treatment: Based on established recommendations (i.e. best practice/http://www.acc.org) Consistent with resident choices, values overall condition, and prognosis.
Slide 19-

Establish goals Prolong life Prevent worsening Improve quality of life Provide comfort care
Slide 20-

Treatment/Problem Management Did the staff and practitioner treat contributing factors and underlying causes of heart failure?
Slide 21-

Like what?? Arrhythmia Pulmonary embolism Accelerated/malignant hypertension Thyroid disease Valvular heart disease Unstable angina Fluid volume status Renal failure Medication-induced High salt-intake Severe anemia
Slide 22-

Treatment Base therapy on the presence/absence of fluid volume overload, nature of dysfunction Include annual flu and pneumococcal vaccination Resident’s goals, choices, values, are always considered
Slide 23-

Consider other relevant interventions Dietary counseling Diet modification Exercise Smoking cessation Address end-stage HF
Slide 24-

Monitoring Implement approaches to manage the individual with heart failure
Slide 25-

Monitoring Collaboration between the facility, medical director, and practitioner
Slide 26-

Evaluation and Documentation Document assessment of heart function - any complications? Evaluate and document reasons why a resident failed to achieve cardiac/functional goals Review medication regime and modify as needed
Slide 27-

Monitoring Complications in an effort to “treat” heart failure can occur.
