Rhythm disturbances in the patient with pulmonary disease.
Many factors contribute to cardiac dysrhythmias in patients with pulmonary disease. The treatments themselves, as well as the clinical state of hypoxemia, can produce rhythm disturbances. A thorough understanding and awareness of the causes and treatments of the dysrhythmias of this patient population will guide the nurse in the delivery of care.
