Volume and rate, preload and afterload
41
What is MPAP
Mean pulmonary arterial pressure
42
What kinds of things contribute to the cardiac/blood flow dynamic?
strucutre of the vessels, vascular factors ( how fast the blood is moving), neurohumoral factors (renin/angiotensin or nateuretic hormones)
43
What does nateuretic hormones do?
blocks sodium
44
What does aldosterone do?
Helps take up sodium
45

Down
49
True or False, Kidneys are totally dependent on blood flow?
TRUE
50
What is the fxn of kidneys?
To filter blood of wastes, electrolytes, ect.
51
IF cardic output decrease, what will happen to kidneys?
Kidney fxn will decrease
52
True or False, If you are in shock/bleeding, you want to add Na & water and tighten vessels
TRUE
53
True or False, if you had an infarction, it is a good idea to add Na and H20
False, adding more fluid, will cause the heart to work harder and fail more
54
What can cause alterations in blood flow?
Obstruction, hypertension, stress, inflammation
55
What are examples of obstruction and occlusion?
thrombi, emboli, vasospasm, inflammation, arterio/athersclerosis, valvular disease, infarction
56
True or False, Vasospasm means shut down
TRUE
57
What can an emboli be made of?
blood, amniotic fluid, air, fat
58
What is the difference between MI and CVA?
CVA- brain attack, no blood flow to the tissue of the brain, MI- no blood flow to the tissue of the heart
59
True or False, as you get older, you your arteries are less elastic and flexible?
TRUE
60
What happens to the coronary arteries as you get older?
Decreased blood flow
61
What happens to the Vavles as you get older?
become rigidity and thickened
62
True of False, as you get older, you have decreased compliance, but increased contractility and c.o.
False, aging = decreased compliance, contractility, and c.o.
63
What is preload?
Is how much the ventricular wall stretch. It is the amound of blood in the ventricle before it contacts/ejects. It's the gas in the tank
64
Increased preload is seen in:
increased circulating vol. (too much vol.), mitral insufficiency, aortic insufficiency, heart failure, and vasoconstrictor use (e.g. dopamine)
65
Decreased preload is is seen in :
shock ( where the vol. drops), decreased circulating vol. ( bleeding, 3rd spacing), mitral stenosis, vasodilator use (NTG), asynchrony of atria and ventricles
66
What is 3rd spacing?
interstitial space- someone has cardiac surgery, from the surgery you get inflammation, which pulls in a lot of cells and fluids in. The surgery causes damage to blood vessels and arterials, which leaks protein, blood, & water into peritneal cavity. Days later, when the lymph & blood vessels have closed, the fluid will go back in. BIG PICTURE: you have a leak, the more fluid will fill your body... looks like shock, but just have shifted where the fluid is. Decrease Bp, CO, & urine output
67
What is NTG?
Nitroglycerine, a vasodilator, give it b/c coronary artery is so constricted causes lack of blood flow to tissues
68
Do pulmonary arteries take oxygenated or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated
69
What does P , A, L, R mean ?
P = pulmonary, A = arteriole, L = left, R = Right
70
What does Afterload mean?
Resistance the blood in the ventricle must overcome ot force the valves open and eject contents to circulation
71
People on Beta blockers have a higher or lower HR and BP?
Lower
72
What is a Hemodynamic Monitoring?
It is a mechanical setup by inserting a cardiac cath in to the person, connected to a mointor to give you hemodynamic perameters
73
What kind of people will get put on hemodynamic monitoring?
trauma , MI, cardiac surgery pt.
74
Why do you need a pressure pushing down on the cath?
So you don?t filll up the whole line with blood, if you don?t have pressure pushing down on it.
75
What percent is CO increased in pregnant women and why?
30-60% b/c heart is pumping for 2 bodies
76
Does SV stay up throughout the entire pregnancy?
No. It is initially up in the 1st tri, then down in 2nd and 3rd
77
If RBC mass is increased, why does it lead to dilution?
b/c extra with extra flow, you have extra water. So, you have more blood vol. not more concentration
78
Why is it good that vascular resistance goes down during pregnancy?
Because you have all these increases in blood vol. you want it to easily flow throughout the body.
79
What is PIH?
Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
80
TRUE or FALSE, Gestational HTN occurs outside of pregnancy?
FALSE, Only HTN occures during pregnancy
81
What is chronic hypertension?
Already have HTN prior to pregnancy
82
What does it mean that PIH is considered a progressive manifestation of a single process with one etiology?
There is a flow that starts with elevated Bp > preeclampsia> elcamspia
83
What does M and M stand for?
Morbidity and Mortality
84
