Q

Dynamic Response Test (Square Wave Test)

A
  • Optimizing dynamic response characteristics involves checking that the equipment reproduces, without distortion, a signal that changes rapidly.
  • Perform a dynamic response test (square wave test) every 8 to 12 hours and when the system is opened to air or the accuracy of the measurements is questioned. It involves activating the fast flush and checking that the equipment reproduces a distortion-free signal.

Q

Components of Pressure Monitoring System

A

The catheter, shown entering the radial artery, is connected via pressure (nondistensible) tubing to the transducer. The transducer converts the pressure wave into an electronic signal. The transducer is wired to the electronic monitoring system, which amplifies, conditions, displays, and records the signal. Stopcocks are inserted into the line for specimen withdrawal and for referencing and zero-balancing procedures. A flush system, consisting of a pressurized bag of intravenous fluid, tubing, and a flush device, is inserted into the line. The flush system provides continuous slow (approximately 3 mL/hr) flushing and provides a mechanism for fast flushing of lines.

  • Balloon inflation (arrow) in patient with a normal PAWP.
46
Q

A

At the end of expiration

47
Q

A

Slowly inflate balloon with air until PA waveform changes to PAWP waveform

48
Q

Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitoring: When measurements are obtained, do not

A

*Read notes on slide!!!

49
Q

Pulmonary Artery Pressure tracing

A
  • Before inflation, the PA pressure tracing on the monitor looks similar to an arterial tracing.
  • There is a distinct systolic peak, dicrotic notch, and a diastolic low point.
  • As the waveform becomes “wedged,” the tracing changes shape and amplitude.
50
Q

What is the effect of an overinflated balloon?

A
  • Balloon inflation (arrow) in patient with elevated wedge pressure. Overwedging of balloon (balloon has been overinflated). The danger of overinflating the balloon is that the pulmonary artery (PA) vessel may rupture from the pressure of the balloon.
  • This is suspected when the waveform looks “wedged” spontaneously, when <1 mL is needed to wedge the tracing, or an “overwedge” tracing is obtained.
