Q

what are indications for arterial pressure monitoring in cardiac patient

25
other arterial artery assessments-contractility, SV, vascular resistance-describe
contractility(rate of rise during systole effected by preload, and after load and HR), SV(area under curve from onset of systole to dicrotic notch), vascular resistance(position of dicrotic notch with a notch appearing high on downslope of pressure tracing suggesting high resistance, low resistance causes a dicrotic notch that is low not diastolic portion of the pressure tracing)
26
what are 5 complications of arterial catheterization
ischemia, thrombosis, infection, bleeding and false lowering of radial artery pressure may be significantly lower than aortic pressure at completion of CPB with forearm vasodilation secondary to rewarming leading to AV shunting resulting in steal phenomenon
27
what does CVP measure
RA pressure, affected by circulating blood volume, venous tone, and RV function
28
what can CVP monitor
fluid and drug therapy, decision to insert CVP to PA catheter
29
most common place for CVP
IJ-contraindicated in carotid artery disease, recent cannulation of IJ vein, thyromegaly or prior neck surgery.
30
what should you be careful of in left IJ insertion
be careful of inserting left IJ because of close proximity to thoracic duct and laceration of left brachiocephalic vein or SVC is more common
31
IJ landmarks Central technique
SCM Apex triangle formed by lateral clavicular and medial sternal head of SCM aim needle caudally and laterally toward ipsilateral nipple
32
why not use EJ for CVP
courses superficially along SCM, joins subclavian close to junction of IJ, more tortuous, presence of valves more diffuclt
33
IJ anterior technique
medial border of medial head, 5cm above clavicle direct needle toward ipsilateral nipple
34
name 3 positive waves of CVP, 2 negative waves
ACV positive | x y negative descents
35
describe A cannon waves
when AV disassociation occurs, RA contraction occurs against a closed tricuspid valve
36
describe V waves
tricuspid valve insufficiency with retrograde flow across incompetent valve produces an increase in ra pressure during systole
37
CVP
RV filling pressure, can be used to estimate LV filling pressures but are distorted in LV dysfunction, decreased LV compliance(ischemia) valvular disease of mitral valve, or pulmonary HTN
38
when does CVP correlate well with PCWP
when patients with CAD have good EF >40 and no regional wall abnormalities but compliance of RV is higher than that of lv because RV is thinner walled in comparison
39
Pulmonary artery pressures
RV function, pulmonary vascular resistance, left atrial filling pressure
40
PCWP
more direct LA filling pressure
41
A, C, V in correlation with ECG
A wave-p wave atrial systole C wave QRS bulging of blood against tricuspid valve during systole V wave-after the T wave atrial filling
42
Why is the PA diastolic pressure, La pressure and LVEDP greater than RA pressure and RVEDP?
during diastole, pulmonic valve is closed
43
patients with differences in RV and LV function
volume status difficult to determine because of disparity bt CVP and PCWP-myocardial ischemia, LV dysfunction, PPV
44
Right ventricular failure findings
increase in CVP, decrease in CVP to mean PA gradient, and a low CO
45
Left ventricular failure
high PA pressures and wedge pressures in the presence of systemic hypotension and low cardiac output
46
tricuspid valve stenosis
CVP to RV end diastolic pressure gradient
47
pulmonic valve stenosis
rv to pa systolic pressure gradient and CVP waveform morphology
48
mitral valve insufficiency
pa and wedge pressure morphology mitral insufficiency= abnormal v waves and increase in pulmonary venous pressure from regurgitant flow-myocardial ischemia, ventricular pacing, and presence of VSD
49
PA cath with ischemia
decrease in ventricular compliance, either an increase in PA pressure or an increase in PCWP, and pathologic V waves from injury to papillary muscles
50
PEEP >10
effects PA valves
51
Mixed Venous O2 Saturation normal value
normal is 75 with a 5 to 10% increase clinically significant
52
4 things that mixed venous O2 sat can tell you
1) decrease in CO 2) decrease in HGB concentration 3) decrease in arterial O2 saturation 4) increased O2 extraction
53
preferred site for PA cath
right IJ followed by left subclavian
54
Thermodilution technique | for CO
room temp saline injected in RA, temperature sensor in PA cath determines change in temp/time with is a value for PV output, which is equal to CO if no shunts are present 3 measurements, most likely within 10% of true CO
55
increase of thermodilution injectatae by 1 degree C will result in
3% overestimate of CO
56
limitations to TEE
diseases near distal ascending aorta, proximal aortic arch because airway interferes with TEE signal
57
temps below 32, above 41
below 32 irritable myocardium, Vtach, v fib | above 41enzyme desaturation and cell damage
58
acute renal failure
2 31% of all cases after CPB
59
use of mannitol during CPB
hemodialysis, serum HGB rise maintain urine output to avoid damage to renal tubules and deliberate hemodilution induced with onset of hypothermic CPB allows removal of excess free water
60
best assessment of renal function during CPB
urinary catheter
61
serum electrolytes
k and Mg usually decline secondary to mannitol and improved person, cardiopelegia contains K, so replace with caution, and ionized ca replacement may worsen neurological ischemia, only replace ca after reprofusion is established after aortic clamp remove;
62
microshock
50-100mA, cardiac patients often have indwelling catheters that lead directly to the heart, pace wires, etc. these patients more at risk, and mocroshock cannot occur unless skin resistance is bypassed-vfib common
63
act
heparin monitoring activated clotting time greater than 400 adequate
64
TEG
thromboelastography-functional info about platelets, clotting factors, and fibrinolytic processes
65
glucose in period cardiac patient
treat when greater than 200 measure q 30-60 min
