Exam 2 cardiac hemodynamics Flashcards

1
Q

What is important to know about cardiac output?

A

represents the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1M

measured as SV X HR

measured in L/M with “normal range” of 4-8

Q

What is cardiac index?

A

adjust for pt size by dividing cardiac output by BSA. normal range is 2-4 L/M

Q

What is important to know about systemic vascular resistance?

A

is a measure of afterload resistance

calculated as (MAP-CVP)/ CO

normal range is 700-1500

indirectly effects stroke volume of the heart

Q

What is the 1st line of treatment of HTN and hypotension?

A

hemodynamics (fluid management)

Use of medications without treating hypo or hypervolemia will be ineffective and potentially dangerous.

Q

What are the fluids to use in hemodynamics?

A

colloids vs. crystalloids

colloids: BP and albumin
colloids have higher tonicity allowing them to stay in the vasculature

Crystalloids consist of fluids like D5W, NS, and LR. has lower tonicity causing more of the volume to “third space.”

Q

what are the indications for central line use?

A

inadequate peripheral venous access

meds & TPN: Ca+ chloride, K+ chloride, chemotherapy, and blood transfusion

hemodialysis
frequent blood draws
central venous/arterial monitoring

Q

what do you need to know about preventing complications in arterial lines?

A

use ONLY for monitoring and ABG’s
NO MEDS
- assess often for signs of infection
-keep transducer at phiebostatic axis
-zero transducer with position changes
-STRICT adherence to policies

16
Q

Provides real-time systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure (MAP)

A

arterial lines

17
Q

where is arterial line placement?

A

radial, brachial, femoral

18
Q

what will mismanagement of transducer do in arterial lines?

A

Mismanagement of transducer will give inaccurate readings and dampened waveforms

19
Q

Used to assess perfusion pressure

A

mean arterial pressure (MAP)

20
Q

what is normal MAP?

A

70-100 mmHg

21
Q

what is the indication for MAP?

A

poor tissue perfusion

22
Q

how do you calculate MAP?

A

SBP+ (2xDBP)/3

23
Q

Difference between SBP & DBP

A

pulse pressure

24
Q

what is normal pulse pressure?

A

30-100

25
Q

what is the indication for pulse pressure?

A

wide PP (more than SBP) - aortic incompetence
narrow PP (more than DPB) - hypovolemia

26
Q

what is the placement of a pulmonary artery cath/swan ganz?

A

Inserted into the SVC - Right atrium - Right ventricle - Pulmonary artery

27
Q

what are the indications for PA cath use?

A

Measurement of: CO, SV, SVR
Measurement of: RAP & PAP
Acute pulmonary hypertension
PE

28
Q

what is the precise management of PA Cath?

A

Right arterial pressure (RAP)/CVP
Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)
Pulmonary wedge pressure (PCWP)
Cardiac Output/Cardiac Index (CO/CI)

29
Q

what are the risk and complications of PA cath use?

A

Infection- Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI)
Arterial puncture
Air embolism
Hematoma
Thrombosis
Hemothorax
Pneumothorax
