Acute Heart Failure Flashcards
Low perfusion at rest =
cold
in Cold and Wet, diuresis will improve
cardiac output
ionotropic drugs if
cold and dry
cold and wet and normal SVR
most patients iwith acute decomp HF fall into this category
wet and warm
impact on cardiac oxygen consumption milrinone
not significant
risks of increased calcium with ionotropes
arrhythmias
limitations of nitroprusside
cynaide toxicity -nausea, weird (if low hepatic perfusion)
accumulation of thiocynate (esp if impaired renal fxn)
diuresis not possible if
renal perfusion impaired
considered a inodilator because ionotrope and vasodilator (cAMP changes lead to relaxation)
milrinone
diuretic side effects
electrolyte abnml
hypotension
gout exacerbation
hearing loss
Digoxin toxicity
renal insuf
muscle cramps (if too rapid)
impact of hypervolemia on CVP
increases CVP
healthy perfusion at rest =
warm
warm vs cold
cardiac index
cardiac index >2.2 = warm
side effects milrinone
hypotension
arrhythmia
tachycardia
congestion at rest =
wet
challenges of diuretics
braking - long term tolerance of natriretic response
rebound may lead to Na retention
long term tolerance due to tubular hypertrophy
Cl levels cold/wet/dry/warm
Warm/Dry - Cl normal
Warm/Wet - Cl normal
Cold Dry - Cl decreased
Cold/wet - Cl decreased
