Q

Similarities and differences between PAOP and CVP waveform/readings

A

Both have a,c,v waves.
PAOP (5-15) is less likely to see c wave. Waveform as a whole should be at a higher baseline pressure because you are measuring LV pressures.

CVP measurements will be 0-10

Q

What change in SVV indicates fluid responsiveness

A

Small volume bolus and assess SVV. If there is less SVV occurs after bolus (ex 17% to 15%) the reduction indicates the patient will respond/require further preload augmentation

53
Q

A

2.8-3.6 L/min

54
Q

When might you have tricuspid regurg but not have a large v wave on CVP tracing?

A

When RA has become very compliant (large/expanded) due to long term tricuspid regurg.

55
Q

What does the a wave represent in the CVP tracing?

A

Atrial Contraction - End of Ventricular Diastole. P wave on EKG.

When the ventricle is FULLY relaxed - it can receive the remainder of blood in the RA.

56
Q

The size of the a wave on the CVP tracing is dependent on?

A
  1. The volume of blood moving into the atrium
  2. The compliance of the atrium
57
Q

What does compliance of a heart chamber mean?

A

The ease with which the heart expands when filled with blood—the inverse of stiffness.

High compliance = stretchy
Low compliance = small/stiff

58
Q

The x wave on the CVP tracing represents?

A

Start of atrial diastole. Pressure starts to decrease as RA begins to relax.

59
Q

What does the c wave on the CVP tracing represent?

A

Tricuspid valve CLOSURE. the onset of early ventricular contraction. R wave on QRS complex.

60
Q

What is one condition that may result in the loss of the c wave into the a wave?

A

Tachycardia

61
Q

What does the x1 descent represent in a CVP tracing?

A

Downslope represents mid-ventricular systole. R-S EKG.
The tricuspid valve and septum descend towards the apex of the heart as the ventricle squeezes, creating a bigger volume and less pressure in RA.

62
Q

What does the v wave represent on the CVP tracing?

A

Late ventricular systole. T-wave on EKG.
Blood enters RA, hits the CLOSED TV (which is pushing back due to RV contraction). v wave is measuring the back pressure.

63
Q

When might you see a large v wave on a CVP tracing?

A

Suggestive of tricuspid regurg.

64
Q

What is the amplitude of the v wave dependent on?

A
  1. Compliance of RA
  2. Volume filling the RA
65
Q

What does the y descent on the CVP tracing represent?

A

Open tricuspid valve - volume leaving the RA, filling a relaxing RV, thus a drop in RA pressure.
Diastolic EKG trace - after T-wave before P-wave.

66
Q

Describe the arterial line response to this square wave test

A

Normal. 2 oscillations, quick up and downstroke

67
Q

Describe the arterial line response to this square wave test

A

Under damped. too much energy, More than 2 oscillations

68
Q

Describe the arterial line response to this square wave test

A

Over damped. Not enough energy. No oscillations

69
Q

A

end diastolic volume minus the end systolic volume

A

MAP = DP + [1/3(SP-DP)] AKA
MAP = DP + [1/3(PP)]

71
Q

MAP Calculation

A

MAP = DP + [1/3(SP-DP)] AKA
