Q

What is the Fick principle?

A

Amount of substance added or removed to or from an organ = blood flow x (a-v)

(a-v) = difference in concentration across the organ between arteries and veins

37
Q

How is Fick’s principle used to calculate CO?

A

CO = blood flow across the lungs = amount of oxygen consumed (mL/min) / (a-v)O2

a = systemic arterial oxygen concentration (sampled from any artery) 
v = pulmonary arterial oxygen concentration
38
Q

How to use the indicator dilution technique when all you have is the curve produced?

A

CO = amount of indicator added / area under first circulation curve

39
Q

40
Q

  2. Lungs: 9%
  3. Small arteries and arterioles: 8%
  4. Large arteries: 7%
  5. Heart in diastole: 7%
  6. Capillaries: 5%
43
Q

Velocity of blood in aorta?

44
Q

Velocity of blood in capillaries?

45
Q

Equation to relate velocity, flow, and area of blood in vessels?

A

Flow (Q) = V x A

V = blood velocity
A = cross-sectional area
46
Q

Largest vessel in body? A?

A

Aorta

A = 4 cm^2

47
Q

What is Poiseuille’s Law?

A

Flow equation, that expands on the original Q = ΔP/R:

Q = π.(P1 - P2).r^4/(8.η.L)

r = vessel radius
‎η‎‎ = fluid viscosity 
L = length of the vessel
48
Q

Rearranging Poiseuille’s Law, what is the equation for resistance?

A

R = 8.η.L/π.r^4

49
Q

How does doubling the radius of the vessel affect flow rate?

50
Q

Equation to calculate total peripheral resistance?

A

TPR = (aortic P - CVP)/CO

Q

Equation to calculate total pulmonary resistance (PVR)?

A

PVR = Pulmonary artery P - LA P/CO

52
Q

53
Q

How can TPR be approximated in a clinical situation?

A

TPR = MAP/CO

54
Q

How to measure total resistance in series circuit?

A

55
Q

What is the pressure gradient Pi-Po equal to in series and parallel circuits?

A

The sum of all the pressure gradients: (Pi-P1)+(P1-P2)+(P2-Po)

56
Q

What is the equation of the total flow of a circuit in parallel?

A

Re = ρ.D.v/η

ρ = fluid density
D = vessel diameter 
v = mean velocity
η = fluid viscosity
59

A
  • Re<2000 => laminar flow

- Re>2000 => turbulent flow

60
Q

What is the density of blood?

61
