20
Q

How will an arterial pressure transducer that is placed below the level of the heart affect the estimate of the actual blood pressure?

A

Overestimates

21
Q

What factors result in decreased mixed venous oxygen (SVO2) measurements? (select three)

A

Shivering
Decreased CO
Hemorrhage

22
Q

Factors that result in an increased SVO2 include:

A
Cyanide toxicity, 
Hypothermia.  
A wedged pulmonary artery 
    catheter
Left-to-right shunts,
Sepsis
23
Q

Factors that result in a decreased SVO2 include:

A

hyperthermia
shivering,
hemorrhage,
decreased cardiac output, and a decrease in the pulmonary transport of oxygen.

24
Q

Which of the following would you expect to produce a large V wave on a CVP waveform?

A

Tricuspid regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, or a sudden, dramatic increase in intravascular volume

25
Q

Which of the following are associated with cannon ‘a’ waves on the central venous pressure waveform? (select two)

A

Diatolic dysfunction

Compleve AV block

26
Q

Tricuspid and mitral stenosis will show on CVP

A

Cannon a waves.

27
Q

When calculating the mean arterial pressure, the diastolic pressure is doubled

A

because diastole accounts for two-thirds of the cardiac cycle duration

28
Q

TEE: Complete absence of wall motion is

A

Akinesia

29
Q

TEE; Decreased wall motion is

A

HYPOKINESIA

30
Q

TEE: Paradoxical wall motion

A

Dyskinesia

31
Q

What is the hallmark of myocardial infarction with ventricular aneurysm?

A

Dyskinesia (paradoxical motion)

32
Q

When the balloon of a pulmonary artery catheter is inflated, what pressure can be obtained indirectly during ventricular systole?

A

left atrial filling pressure

33
Q

The most significant expected alteration from a cracked stopcock in an arterial pressure monitoring system would be

A

acute blood loss

34
Q

Potential complications due to intra-arterial monitoring include:

A

acute blood loss from a leak or crack in the transducer system, thrombosis, vasospasm, infection, hematoma, nerve damage, and loss of digits.

35
Q

Which of the following would result in an underestimation of the aortic pressure? (select two)

A

Radial artery monitoring during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass
Air in the transducer tubin g

36
Q

Hypothermic conditions reduce the vascular resistance in the hand compared to the aorta, and the radial arterial line will

A

underestimate the aortic pressure.

37
Q

Placing a blood pressure cuff that is too loose, too small, or positioned below the level of the heart will result in a blood pressure that

A

overestimates the actual blood pressure.

38
Q

The presence of air in the transducer tubing and the addition of stopcocks and longer tubing can

A

decrease the frequency of the monitoring system and lead to overdamping which will tend to underestimate the systolic blood pressure.

A

J point
