Q

How will the heart react to the administration of Chronotropic Drugs?

A

It will increase heart rate, ↑ BP, for example atropine

Q

How we treat loss of fluid in the body system?

A

Decreasing the amount of fliud in the system wil decrease blood pressure, this issue can be fixed by adding fluids or blood products.

Q

What is important about transducer ubication level?

Study These Flashcards
A

The transducer must remain at the heart level, otherwise bloode pressure may not be accurate.

  • If above heart level, arterial pressure will ↓
  • If bellow heart level, arterial pressure will ↑
20
Q

This is called?

Study These Flashcards
A

3 wat stopcock

21
Q

Indication for Arterial Blood Pressure Line?

Study These Flashcards
A

◼ Indicated for continuous pressure measurement of critically ill patients with extremes of blood pressure requiring aggressive resuscitation efforts or titration of potent vasoactive agents

22
Q

What is the normal Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Systolic: 90 - 140 mm Hg
  • Diastolic: 60 - 90 mm Hg
23
Q

When does start the ejection time on the wave form?

Study These Flashcards
A

At the beginning of the constraction until the end of the constraction (nicrotic notch)

24
Q

CVP can be measured by:

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Single lumen catheter
  • multiple lumen catheter

all on the SVC

25
What condiction may elevate CVP?
* *Volume overload* * *Impaired right ventricular contractile function* * *Pulmonary hypertension* * *Right ventricular infarction* * *Pulmonic stenosis* * *Tricuspid valvular disease* * *Left-to-right shunts*
26
Pulmonary Artery Catheter are also called?
Swan-ganz catheter
27
Pulmonary catheter is usually inserted on:
**Internal Jugular Vein or Left subclavian vein**
28
How many port does PA catheter have?
4 ports: * *Pressure measurements* * *Thermodilution injections* * *Cardiac output measurement* * *Medication infusions*
29
What pressure does PA measures?
* *Right atrium (2 - 6 mm Hg)* * *Right ventricle (25/0)* * *Pulmonary artery (25/8)* * *Left Atrium by PAOP (4 - 12 mm Hg)*
30
Pulmonary Artery Catheter or Pulmonary Artery Oclusion Pressure, meassures what pressure?
It is inserted on the right side of the heart, but it acually meassure the left side of the heart *(Left Atrium)*
31
What pressure will affect the improper functioning of the left ventricle (left ventricular failure)?
* **PCWP will ↑** * **PAP will ↑** * **CVP may be affected on severe cases** * **CO will be decreased \< 4L/min** * **Systemic Pressure ↓, \< 90/60** ## Footnote *(This is because left Ventricle is not able to pump blood to the body system normally any more, producing a back flow, increasing in pressure)*
32
CVP, PAP, PCWP, CO will move in what direction with * *Left Heart Failure* * *mitral Valve Stenosis* * *CHF* * *High PEEP effects*
* ***CVP = Normal*** * ***PAP = ↑*** * ***PCWP = ↑*** * ***CO = ↓*** * ***Systemic Pressure = ↓***
33
Hypervolemia will affects CVP(2-6), PAP(25/8), PCWP(4-12), CO(4-8) in what direction? ***Hypervolemia** is a condition in which there is too much fluid in the blood. It is also known as fluid overload.*
* ***CVP = ↑*** * ***PAP = ↑*** * ***PCWP = ↑*** * ***CO = ↑***
34
Hypovolemia will affect CVP, PAP, PCWP, CO in what direction?
* ***CVP = ↓*** * ***PAP = ↓*** * ***PCWP = ↓*** * ***CO = ↓***
35
Lung disordder, Pulmonary embolism, Pulmonary hypertension and Air embolism will affect CVP, PAP, PCWP and CO in what direction?
* ***CVP = ↑*** * ***PAP = ↑*** * ***PCWP = N/↓*** * ***CO = N***
36
Pulse pressure is done by doing what formula?
**Systolic - Diastolic** **120 - 80 = 40 pulse** *Normal value is 40 mm Hg*
37
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) formula
2(Diastolic) + Systolic)/ 3
38
Cardiac Output formula
**SV x HR = CO** *normal value 4 - 8 L/min*
39
What is Systemic Vascular Resistant (SVR)
Is the pressure gradient across the pulmonary circulation divided by CO ## Footnote ***SVR = MAP - CVP / CO*** ***normal value \< 20 mm Hg/L/min or 1600 dynes/sec/cm-5*** * SVR = 14 - 4 / 6* * SVR = 10 / 6* ***SVR = 1.6 mm Hg***
40
Pulmonary Vascular resistance (PVR) formula
**PVR = MPAP - PCWP / CO** **normal value \< 2.5 mm Hg or 200 dynes/sec/ cm -5**
41
What increases PVR
* **Hypoxemia** * **Pulmonary Hypertension** * **Lung disease**
42
CVP catheter is used for:
* Estimate intravascular volume status * Intravenous access for medication Infusion * Venous Blood sampling
43
PA have 3 to 4 ports used for:
* ***Pressure measurements*** * ***Thermodilution injections ( CO measurements)*** * ***Medication infusions***
44
**What pressure does PA catheter measure?**
* *Right atrium **(2-6 mm Hg)*** * *Right Ventricle **(25/0 Systolic/Diastolic)*** * *Pulminary Artery **(25/8 Systolic/Diastolic)***
45
How Left atrial pressure can be determine?
***By Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP)***
