Study These Flashcards
A

-Measure arterial pressure, and blood pressure

25
What is the normal value for R atrium pressure?
-0-5 mmHg
26
What is the normal value for R ventricle pressure?
-5-12 mmHg
27
What is the normal pressure for the pulmonary Artery?
-20-30/5-13 mmHg
28
What is the normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure?
-5 to 18 mmHg
29
What should you do after moving a patient with an arterial line or Swan-Ganz catheter?
-Measure BP
30
What is used as a mechanical circulatory device to assist LV function?
-Inta-aortic balloon pump
31
What is the most common lines at the hospital?
-IV
32
What is normal resting O2 sats?
-98%
33
How much should O2 sats decreased with exercise?
-THEY SHOULDNT
34
O2 Sats below what contraindicate exercise?
-92%
35
If a patient is on 3L of O2 or less, and O@ sats are greater than 95%, what can you attempt to do?
-ther ex in room air
36
If a patient is able to complete ther ex in room are and maintain O2 Sats above 92%, what can you attempt to do?
-ambulate in room air
37
If a patient is on more than 3L O2, what should you do to try and exercise them?
-decrease the flow, but if they become symptomatic than just leave it alone
38
What will increase within the first 36 hours after an MI?
-Enzyme levels (CPK, LDH, Troponin)
39
If LDH 1 is equal to LDH 2, what does that indicate?
-myocardial damage
40

-CV disease
42
How can elevated homocystine, how can it cause damage?
-it damages the intima and creates clots
43
