Endocarditis Nursing Pathophysiology Treatment | Infective Endocarditis Lecture

Infective endocarditis and non-infective endocarditis lecture on the nursing management, pathophysiology, treatment, signs and symptoms. In this video, I will discuss in detail the different types of endocarditis (infective endocarditis with the sub-types acute and subacute and non-infective). In addition, I detail the pathogenesis of how a vegetation grows on the heart valve and the complications of endocarditis, such as embolism, heart failure, valve regurgitation/stenosis. Signs and symptoms of IE include petechiae, anorexia, high fever, heart failure, cardiac murmur, Osler's nodes, Janeway lesions, Roth Spots, and splenomegaly. Infective endocarditis can be diagnosed with a TEE (transesophageal echocardiogram) which allows the physician to see the backside of the heart and the heart valves. Patients who are at risk for infective endocarditis include patients with a history if IV drug use, rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve prolapse, or other valve defects. Pathogens can enter into the blood stream through invasive procedures (dental work, implanted devices, central line placement) and infect the valve.

You are an absolute angel. I am a single mom and full time nursing student, so I don't have time to spend hours and hours weeding through textbooks trying to find what's important. Your videos save my life. Seriously. I have a 3.98 thanks to you!

Sarah, I love me some you! Let me tell you how you got me through school to become an LPN in 2019 and now I am back with you transitioning to a RN! In Jesus name AMEN. I pray that he blesses you and your family continuously just as you have been a blessing for myself and nursing students over the world. I can't stress enough how awesome it is that you took the time out to provide us these resources to learn this oh so very important role we have been called to do, and you do so so effortlessly. You make learning this material so easy and break it down in a way that we can understand. I thank you a million times and wish I could hug you. Many blessings :O)

I cannot thank you enough for making these videos! I am in my last semester of RN school and it has been so hard, and I have always struggled with cardiac content. With your videos, I learn more in 20-30 minutes than I do with a 3 hour lecture from my instructors! Thank you for taking the time to explain things in a way that anyone can understand!

Very useful information.I`m an ex IV drug user and in 1991 I had SBE endocarditis. I thought I just had bad dose of flu. I went from 12 stone to 7.5 stone in 5 weeks. Spent 2 months in hospital and in the intensive care unit. The symptoms were horrible. Glad I survived. It kills many drug users. I had to have my tricuspid valve replaced in 2001, as the infection damaged the valve. Then had to have a redo valve replacement in 2012. Anyone out there, stay away from drugs....
