Sepsis on SvO2

A

High cardiac output state increase SvO2

160
Q

Anemia on SvO2

A

Anemia reduces oxygen delivery , and decreases SvO2

161
Q

Four variables for calculations of SvO2

A
Q = Cardiac output (L/min)
VO2 = Oxygen consumption (mL O2/min)
Hgb = Amount of hemoglobin (g /dL)

162
Q

SvO2 formula:

A

SaO2 - VO2/ (Q x 1.34 x Hgb x10)

163
Q

Normal SvO2

A

65-75%

164
Q

Mixed venous oxygen saturation an indirect monitor of CO when

A

hgb, SaO2 and VO2 are held constant.

165
Q

Factors that change SvO2

A

When oxygen consumption increases or oxygen delivery decreases, the oxygen content returning to the heart decreases, as manifested as a decreased SvO2

166
Q

Mixed Venous O2 sat is decreased by either

A

Increased O2 consumption OR Decreased O2 delivery

167
Q

Mixed Venous O2 sat is increased by either

A

Decreased O2 consumption OR increased O2 delivery

A

Hypothermia

Cyanide toxicity

170

A
Thyroid storm
Stress
Fever
Shivering
Pain
171
Q

Decreased O2 delivery by _____PaO2, Increased _______ and ______

A

Decreased, decreased Hgb, and CO

172
Q

Sepsis creates a

A

High CO state

173
Q

Why is there an increase SvO2 with sepsis

A

Even though sepsis causes end organ hypoxia, O2 bypasses the tissues and SvO2 remains elevated

174
Q

Increased SvO2 and tissues

A

Impaired oxygen uptake by tissues.

175
Q

Classic example of impaired oxygen uptake by tissues

A

Cyanide poisoning from sodium nitroprusside

176
Q

Mixed oxygen venous

A

Left to RIght shunt. Oxygenated blood travels from the left heart to the right heart and is added to pulmonary venous blood.

177
Q

What do you need to measure SvO2 and why?

A

PAC is needed because different organs extract different amounts of O2, a true mixed venous sample must contain blood returning from the SVC, IVC, and the coronary sinus.

178
Q

Preload responsiveness is expected to be present if a 200-250ml fluid bolus increases the SV in excess of

A

10 %

179
Q

Most of the pulse contour monitors use the ______to complete their calculations

A

Arterial waveform or the SPO2 waverorm to complete their calculations.

180
Q

Pulse contour analysis provides a measure of

A

Preload responsiveness as a function of how SV changes during the respiratory cycle (assumes PPV).

181
Q

What can influence SV

A

Changes in intra-thoracic pressure duing PPV

182
Q

Inspiration on LV filling

A

A positive pressure breath augments LV filling (compression of the pulmonary veins and pleural restriction impedes RV filling)

183
Q

Increases LV filling on SV

A

Increases SV

184
Q

Expiration on LV filling

A

LV filling decreases (decreases RV preload on previous beats reduces LV preloads, the time delay is called pulmonary transit time.
