Q

When recording CVP pressures during positive pressure ventilation, what should mean CVP be?

23
Q

Cannon wave are seen with what physiological occurrence?

A

Conduction blocks

24
Q

Cannon waves are reflective waves in pressure that can be seen when the atrium contracts against a closed valve, this will produce what kind of CVP reading?

A

Falsely high CVP readings

25
Q

Regurgitant CV waves can be seen when you have what?

A

Faulty valves that allow back-flow (regurg) or high pressures (stenosis)

26
Q

How can you diagnose A fib on a CVP waveform?

A

Loss of a A wave and very prominent C wave

27
Q

How can you distinguish between A fib and A flutter on a CVP waveform?

A

A flutter will look like periods of A fib with periodic cannon A waves

28
Q

Will CVP alone tell you how to proceed with fluid maintenance and replenishment?

A

NO

CVP is getting a ballpark number for pressure and then up to you as to how to proceed with interventions and treatments

29
Q

In the central line packets, what are suturing needles also called?

30
Q

Look at the picture of tray contents and be able to recognize and name each

A 
EX: 
J wire
Finder needle
Catheter
Lidocaine
ETC
31
Q

What is the syringe called that allows you to find the vein and feed the J wire directly through the stopper without ever having to disconnect the syringe from it?

A

Wire-thru syringe

32
Q

What does the ASK stand for in central line kits?

A

Arrow select kits

33
Q

What pertinent information is on the outside of the central line kit that you need to check before opening it?

A

:Flow equivalent lumen
:How many lumens
:Size of catheter in french
:Length of catheter in cm

34
Q

What are 2 most common entry points for insertion of a CVP?

A

RIght IJ

RIght sub-clavian

35
Q

The velocity of a pressure waveform is roughly equivalent to what?

A

Speed of sound

36
Q

When placing a mid-RIJ central line, what is the distance to the RA?

What size length kit should you use?

A

20 cm

so should use 16cm central line to not fully enter RA

37
Q

What factors are considering when picking out the appropriate sized kit length?

A

Patients height

NOT AGE OR WEIGHT

38
Q

Which lumen is the largest lumen of the central line?

A

Distal lumen and is usually 14 g

39
Q

T OR F: It is acceptable to release the J wire at any time when placing into the patient?

A

FALSE

it is never acceptable to release the J wire once it has entered the patient

40
Q

What size are most J wire outer diameter ? What size cannula will this fit through?

A

0.028 inches J wire

will fit through 18g cannulas

41
Q

For placing a Right IJ cannula, where should the needle be inserted and what should be palpated ?

A

Should be inserted at the apex of the triangle formed by the 2 heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with needle tip directed towards ipsilateral nipple. The carotid artery should be palpated before needle entry

42
Q

What are the anatomical borders of the triangle you shoot for during IJ insertion?

A

Clavicular head of sternocleidomastoid muscle, sternal head of “” muscle, Clavicle

43
Q

When placing a central line via ultrasound, how do you know which one is the vein on the screen?

A

The vein is compressible

44
Q

What will help increase the diameter of the IJ for easier placement of central line?

A

Asking patient to perform Valsalva maneuver

45
Q

What is the largest risk when placing a subclavian vein central line?

A

Risk of pneumothorax

46
Q

What is different when placing a catheter into EJ?

A

EJ lies on top of Sternocleidomastoid muscle

47
Q

In the arm, what is the vein of choice when placing a central line?

A

Basilic vein

48
Q

What mnemonic is used for the femoral vein placement of a central line?

A

NAVY or NAVAL from lateral to medial
(nerve artery vein Y formed by legs)
(nerve artery vein air lymph node)

49
Q

What is distance from IJ to RA and PA?

A 
RA = 20 cm
PA = 45 cm
50
Q

What is distance from femoral vein to RA and PA?

A 
RA = 40 cm
PA = 65 cm
51
Q

What is distance from subclavian to RA and PA?

A 
RA = 10 cm
PA = 40 cm
52
Q

The guidewire will always come out what connector?

A

Distal connector

53
Q

What must always be done to ensure proper placement on a central line and should be included in pre-checklist to do list?

A

Make sure cap is off the distal connector to allow J wire/guidewire to fully exit connector

54
Q

I not sure how much he could possibly ask about this one, but maybe just be familiar with different parts of kit.

A

I do hate you all for giving me this subject PS
