Unit 2 Chapter 35 Hemodynamic Monitoring

Question 1

What is a Swan Ganz Catheter?

Answer 1

A catheter that is inserted through an artery that monitors the blood pressure in all the chambers of the heart and even the lungs

Question 2

What is another name for the Swan Ganz catheter

Answer 2

pulmonary artery pressures (PAP

Question 3

Function of Hemodynamic monitoring

Answer 3

Invasive monitoring system used to provide information on:
* Vascular capacity
* Blood volume
* Pump effectiveness
* Tissue perfusion * Directly measures pressures in the heart and great vessels

Question 4

What is the blood flow of the heart

Answer 4

1. blood enters the right atrium
2. passes through the tricuspid valve
3. drops into the right ventricle
4. passes through the pulmonic valve
5. enters the pulmonary artery
6. blood goes to the lungs and get oxygenated
7. oxygenated blood comes back to the pulmonary vein
8. blood drops into the left atrium
9. blood masses through the mitral valve
10. blood drops down to left ventricle
11. blood passes through the aortic valve
12. Oxygenated blood transfers to the aorta and all arteries of the body

Question 5

What does the (CVP) central venous pressure measure?

Answer 5

The central venous catheter is used for the critically ill patient to monitor the central venous pressure (CVP). The CVP is an indicator of fluid volume status. Normal CVP is 2 to 5 mm Hg

Question 6

Whichof the following signs of symptoms does the Central venous pressure measure?
A. Abdominal distention
B. Dilated pupils
C. constriced pupils
D. Dyspnea

Answer 6

A.Abdominal distention

** The CVP(central venous pressure) is an indicator of fluid volume status. Normal CVP is 2 to 5 mm Hg**

Question 7

Normal Range for Mean Arterial Pressure

Answer 7

• Mean Arterial Pressure: 70-90 mmHg * *

Question 8

Normal Range Central Venous Pressures

Answer 8

2-5 mmHg *

Question 9

Normal Range Pulmonary Artery Pressure:

Answer 9

Pulmonary Artery Pressure:
* Systolic 15-26 mmHg
* Diastolic 5-15 mmHg

Question 10

Normal Range Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure

Answer 10

Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure: 4-12 mmHg

Question 11

Normal Range for Cardiac output?

Answer 11

Cardiac Output: 4-8 L/min

Question 12

Your patient has entered the triage in the emergency department. He has a history of athersclerosisand came to the hospital due to chest pain? Which of the following diagnostic devices would you suspect the health care provider to order?

A. Doppler test
B. Swan ganz Catheter
C. Cardiac Catherization
D. Computed Tomography

Answer 12

C. Cardiac Catherization

Cardiac catheterization is used to study the various functions of the heart or to obtain diagnostic information about the heart or its vessels.

Question 13

A patient was recently admitted due to having pericarditis. On assessment, the nurse notices jugular vein distention and auscultates clear lungs. Which of the following diagnostic tests would you anticipate the healthcare provider to order?
A. Doppler test
B. Echocardiogram
C. Cardiac Catherization
D. Computed Tomography

Answer 13

B. Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test that checks the structure and function of your heart. An echo can diagnose a range of conditions including cardiomyopathy and valve disease. There are several types of echo tests, including transthoracic and transesophageal.

Question 14

What is a stress test?

Answer 14

What are stress tests? Stress tests show how well your heart works when it’s pumping hard. Some heart diseases are easier to find when your heart is working its hardest to pump blood through your body. So stress tests check your heart while you exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle.

Question 15

Function of EKG

Answer 15

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from the heart to check for different heart conditions
