ACUTE EXAM 2 Flashcards
normal limits of svr
800-1200 dynes
calculation of svr
map-cvp/co x 80
cardiac index
measure of co adjusted to BSA; body habitus and size is individual
pvr is active or passive
passive, low normal <250 dynes
intrapleural pressure **
intrathoracic pressure
increased svr, cardiac output? high or low
low
high cardiac out doesn’t always mean…
perfusion
negative inotropes
decrease contracility
positive inotropes should
increase stroke volume and cardiac output ; start low and then go up, you can make the patient tachy and pro arrhythmic and use more myocardial oxygen
how does increasing contractility affect SV
inc 2g3pg
shift to the right
decrease hgb
shift to the right
shift to the left
alkalotic, low temo, low 23gpd; this is worse; fingers fall off and end organs fail we arent feeding the tissues; the hemoglobin and holding on tight
determinants of d02
pao2, hgb, sao2;co/ci
> 80 % svo2 means
may represent a threat to tissue oxygenation
<60 svo2 means
shift to the right a value decreases the threat to tissue oxygenation increases
know the components of svo2
hbg
vo2
co
sao2
if you didnt have a swan
coox
if you have a central line you could use it to identify changes in the patients tissue oxygen extraction
anaerobic metabolism what gets produced
lactate acid gets built up a marker of anaerobi cmetabolism; a rise is detectingin global tissue oxygenation disturbance
procalcitonin
proetin releases as an acute phase reactant in response to inflammatory stimulti, especiallybacterial********, could track and trend the course of antibitoics
DIACROTIC NOTCH
aortic valve closed
prefusion pressure
mean arterial pressure
mean arterial pressure
1/3 systolic, 2/3 diastolic
s+ (dx2)/3
> 13 %
HIGH IS DRY
no pa cathter for
right sided; you want right sided just put a cvp
advantages of the PAC
Measurement of left ventricular filling pressures (estimate)
Sampling of mixed venous blood.
Measurement of cardiac output.
Three factors contribute to the regulation of CVP:
Capacitance of the venous system
Total blood volume
Pumping ability of right side of the heart
right sided heart failure cvp is
high

Ascending and descending
Ascending open approach involving the aortic arch cannot do in any other fashion
symptoms of AA
chets pain pressure radiating to the back ripping tearing back pain dull ache with either rupture or dissection
patient has hoarseness
ascending or at the arch, compression on largeneal nerve;
abdminal and pulstile mass
abdmonial aneurysm
triple a things we find on assessment
Pulsitile mass. Bruit. Abdominal pain.
ruputred aneursym
hemdyabmically unstable 40 % die before treatment
diagnostics for aoritc aneursym
chests ct- gold tsandrad and doesnt even need to be with contrast now, x-ray you will see wided mediastinum, ultrasound-abdominal**, ACC, coags and cmp
Abdominal aneurysms can be seen with an ultrasound
differentials with an aortic aneurysm
renal obstruction, uti, pepic ulcer disease like a peptic ulcer perforation/gerd, or ruptured disc wit the pain in the back
treatmnent of AA
contact ct surgery or vascular; graft for a suspected rutpure or dissection
> 5.5cm or symptomatic
treat**** >6cm for open repair; 5.5> endovascular repair
<5cm in low risk patients
follow every 6-12 months; ultrasound and MRI
once a patient dissects
surgery immediate repair even if it is not that big
many aortic dissections are associated with
connective tissue disorder like marfans and HTN
tee or TTecho
sometimes you can see it the aortic
To assess the different levels of the vessel what test would you use
Aortic angiography to get more information
used to be the standard and no more
With aortic aneurysms our vital signmanagement with medications ranges we want what?
100-120 sip
heart rate at 60
aortic rupture can be caused by
trauma and or aortic aneurysm;
ruputrue severe s0b, chest pain, difficulty swallow, shck like state, bleeding into the chest, deviation, wided mediastiunum, what would you do? 50% mortality triple a rupture
pulmonary htn normal
> 20/25, 25 is the old classification on right heart cathetrization
what leads you to doing a cardiac cath to diagnosis PHtn
an echo
estimates the pressures in the heart and quantifies right-sided pressures, thus leading to a right heart cath
