PAP assessment
* Intracardiac pressures (CVP, PAP, PCWP/PAWP) * estimate LV fillin gpressures * assess LV function * CO * mixed venous oxygen saturation * Pulmonary Vascular resistance (PVR) Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
26
CVP monitoring
Right atrial pressure = Right ventricle preload normal = 1-7 mmHg with mechanical ventilation = 4-10 mmHg
27
Distance from RIJ to PA
35-45 cm
28
CVP waveform
* "a" wave is point of maximal filling of RV and should be used for RVEDP * machines "average" the measurement * Should be measured at end-expiration. * "c" closure of tricuspid valve and V contraction, tricuspid "bulges" back into the atrium slightly increasing the pressure
29
Changes in Lead I, AVL, V5-V6
Lateral wall ischemia circumflex branch of left coronary artery
30
Thermodilution
Using known amount of known temperatured solution to inject in catheter in RA. Thermister on cathether (swan-ganz) measures change in temperature. **Used to assess cardiac output**
31
AANA minimal standard required monitors and monitoring information (on graphic display)
1. ECG (HR and rhythm) 2. Blood pressure 3. pulse ox 4. Oxygen analyzer 5. end tidal carbon dioxide * ECG * BP * HR * ventilation status * O2 sat \*Must document minimum of every 5 minutes!! \*\*Variable pitch tone must be audible with use of Pulse ox
32
Insertion sites of Central venous catheters
* right internal jugular (most common for anesthesia) * left internal jugular vein * subclavian veins * external jugular veins * femoral veins
33
Septal view of heart
V1, V2
34
3 Lead ECG
* Electrodes RA, LA, LL * Leads I, II, III * 3 views of the heart, no anterior view
35
most important lead for ischemia
V \*all V leads
36
PCWP
Pulmonary Capilary wedge pressure **a wave**: contraction of Left atrium \*usually a small deflection unless there is resistance moving blood into LV like in mitral stenosis. **c wave**: rapid rise in LV pressure in early systole, causing mitral valve to bulge backward into LA, so atrial pressure increases momentarily **v wave**: blood entering LA during late systole \*prominent v wave reflects mitral insufficiency causing large amounts of blood to reflux into the LA during systole
37
distance from RIJ to RA
15-25 cm
38
BP Oscillometry
Senses oscillations/fluctuations in cuff pressure produced by arterial pulsations while deflating a BP cuff * 1st oscillation correlates with SBP * maximum/peak oscillations occurs at MAP * oscillations cease at DBP
39
Transesophageal echocardiography uses:
1. unusual causes of acute hypotension 2. pericardial tamponade 3. pulmonary embolism 4. aortic dissection 5. myocardial ischemia 6. valvular dysfunction
40
most important lead for rhythm changes
II
41
Falsely high PB
* cuff too small * cuff too loose * extremity below level of heart * arterial stiffness- HTN, PVD
42
Changes in Lead I, AVL, V1-V4
Anterior wall ischemia Left coronary artery
43
Lateral view of heart
I, aVL, V5, V6 Lead I = RA-LA
44
Pulse pressure
SBP-DBP As location of BP moves out peripherally, you get exaggerated SBP and wider pulse pressure.
45
PAP catheters
* 7 or 9 french * 110 cm length * 4 lumens * distal port PAP * second port 30 cm more proximal CVP * third lumen balloon * fourth wires for temp
46

53
SBP
* peak pressure generated during systolic ventricular contraction * changes correlate to changes in myocardial O2 requirements
54
Indications for Art line
1. elective deliberate hypotension 2. **wide swings in BP** 3. rapid fluid shifts 4. titration of vasoactive drugs 5. **end organ disease** 6. **repeated blood sampling** 7. failure of NIBP
55
Standard 1
Qualified provider must be with pt the entire time SRNA CRNA MDNA AA- need direct in room supervision
56
Allen test
block radial and ulnar arteries, pt pump fist, release ulner artery first to make sure it can refill hand if radial artery gets "trashed" by art line.
57
Falsely low BP
* Cuff too large * extremity above level of heart * poor tissue perfustion * too quick deflation \*improper cuff placement, dysrhythmias, tremors/shivering
58
Arterial pressure waveform
\*the more distal the art line, the SBP will increase, DBP will decrease, MAP same, dichrotic arch is later
59
Art line sites
1. radial 2. ulnar 3. brachial 4. femoral 5. dorsalis pedis 6. axillary
60
to improve accuracy of art line and forms of erro
1. minimize tubing length 2. limit stopcocks 3. no air bubbles 4. use non-compliant stiff tubing 5. calibrated forms of error: Dampening and overshooting
61

65
Purpose of ECG
1. detect arrhythmias 2. monitor heart rate 3. detect ischemia 4. detect electrolyte change 5. monitor pacemaker function

Stethoscope

69
Gain Setting and Frequency Bandwith
* Gain should be set at standardization * 1 mV signal produces 10-mm calibration pulse * Therefore, a 1-mm ST segment change is accurately assessed * Filtering capacity should be set to diagnostic mode * Filtering out the low end of frequency bandwidth can distort ST segment
