Asa Standards Flashcards
Standard monitors
Pulse ox, capnography, o2 analyzer, disconnect alarm, ecg sbp hr temp
Lead 1/2/3
Lead 1 - on R + on l arms
Lead 2 - on Ra +on LL
Lead 3 - on la + on LL
Dinamap -device for noninvasive automatic mean art press compared to art line
Systolic and mean usually same, diastolic is 10 mmhg higher with automated
Map equation
Map = co x svr Map = pressure dias + 1/3(p sys - p dias)
Kroktof sounds
Phase 1 = systolic bp
Phase 5 = diastolic
Ischemia with art line
Less then .1%
Arterial blood flow hand
Majority is ulnar
Brachial artery cannulization
Can injure median nerve
Subclavian vein cannulization
Cannulated between middle third and latereal third clavicle
At the scalenea the subclavian vein goes anterior to ant scalene while artery goes between ant and mid
Both go over first rib
Advantages include shorter distance and more comfort and less infection
Chylothorax
Most common with left subclavian
Median nerve to brachial artery in ac
Median nerve is medial
Facet joint intervention for block
Medial branch of posterior division of spinal nerve
Stellate ganglion
Found c6/c7
Sympathetic innervation for hand neck arm head
Blocking causes unopposed parasympathetic and horners syndrome
Includes vasodilation of arm head neck, stuffiness, miosis, ptosos and anhydrosis. No sweat
Celiac plexus
Located l1
Lateral to aorta near celiac artery takeoff
Mediates innervation to small intestine, ascending and transverse colon, liver kidney spleen gallbladder
Blocking it blocks visceral pain, leads to inc parasympathetic including diarrhea
Changes in blood pressure as you move farther away from heart
Increase in systolic, decrease in diastolic, same map
Change in bp every 1 cm
.74 mmhg
A wave
after atrial contraction
C wave
Represents bulging of tricuspid valve into atrium during systole (after qrs)
X decent
Atrial relaxation as ventricle is contracted
V wave
Filling of the atria with tricuspid closed
