Cardiopulm Rongies Flashcards
Aorta
Body’s largest artery and conduit of blood from the heart to the body.
Superior vena cava
Vein that returns venous blood from head, neck and arms to the right atrium
Inferior vena cava
vein that returns venous blood from the lower body and viscera to the right atrium
Pulmonary arteries
carry deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to the left and right lungs
Pulmonary veins
carry oxygenated blood from the right and left lungs to the left atrium
Cardiac Cycle
Atrial systole - right and left atria contract
atrial diastole - atria repolarize
ventricular systole - right and left ventricles contract
preload - tension in ventricular wall at end of diastole. reflects the venous filling pressure that fills L ventricle during diastole
afterload - forces that impede the flow of blood out of the heart, primarily pressure in the peripheral vasculature
Stroke volume
volume of blood ejected by each contraction of left ventricle
60-80 ml
Cardiac Output
amount of blood pumped from left or right ventricle per minute
4.5-5.0 L/min
can be 25 L/min during exercise
Tidal volume
total volume of inspired and expired with each breath during quiet breathing. 10% of total lung volume
Total lung capacity
volume of air in lungs after max inspiration TLC = RV + VC
Vital capacity
volume change that occurs between max inspiration and max expiration. VC = TV + IRV + ERV. approx 75% of total lung volume
ABG values
ph 7.4 PaCO2: 40 mm Hg at sea level PaO2: 97 mm Hg at sea level HCO3: 24 mEq/L SaO2: 95-98%
Serum Cholesterol
Total: <200 mg/dL = good, >240 = high
LDL: <100 mg/dL = good, >190 = very high
HDL: <40 mg/dL = low, >60 = high
Triglyceride: <150 mg/dL = good, >500 = very high
WBC
5-10 *10^9 L
Platelets
140-400 k/uL or 165-415 * 10^3/mm3
150k - 400k per microliter
