Circulation Flashcards
(20 cards)
Amount of blood ejected from heart each minute
Cardiac output
Amount of blood ejected from heart with each beat
Stroke volume
SV x HR =
Cardiac output
Volume of blood in ventricles at end of diastole
Preload
Increased in:
•Hypervolemia
•Regurgitation of cardiac valves
•Heart Failure
Preload
Resistance left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood
After load
Increased in:
• hypertension
• vasoconstriction
After load
Men: 4.6-6.0 million/mm3
Women: 4.0-5.0 million/mm3
RBC
Men: 14-18 g/dL
Women: 12-18 g/dL
Hemoglobin
Men: 42-52%
Women: 37-47 %
Hematocrit
Rapid pulse Rapid shallow respirations and dyspnea Flaring of the nares Substernal or intercostal retractions Cyanosis
Clinical manifestations of Hypoxia
- Restlessness
- Anxiety
- Tachypnea
Early signs of hypoxia
- Bradycardia
- Extreme restlessness
- Dyspnea
Late signs of hypoxia
Reduced cellular oxygen
Hypoxia
Reduced oxygen in blood
Hypoxemia
Bluish discoloration of the skin, nail beds, and mucous membranes due to reduced hemoglobin-oxygen saturation
Cyanosis
Closure of the tricuspid valves
S1
Closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves
S2
Vibration of the ventricles that resist early rapid refilling
S3
Vibration of the ventricles that resist forceful filling
S4
