How do you know if ABG is a respiratory issue
PH and CO2 are opposite direction
How do you know if ABG is metabolic?
CO3 and pH are going in the same direction
5 most common ICU Dx
Respiratory system Dx with ventilator support
Acute MI
ICH
Percutaneous CV procedure with drug-eluding stent
Septicemia
Opposite of homeostasis
Physiologic instability
Heart failure is characterized by reduced organ blood flow. T or F
True
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction is commonly associated with?
Reduced ejection fraction
Stroke volume is reduced in L ventricular dysfunction because muscle fiber shortening velocity is reduced at a given afterload and preload. T or F
True
The Frank Starling mechanism can help to compensate for systolic dysfunction by causing a pre-load dependent increase in contractile force. T or F
True
Systolic dysfunction may result from which cellular mechanism?
Reduced release of calcium by the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is commonly associated with
Increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
A pt with history of chronic hypertension is Dx with L ventricular systolic dysfunction. This condition most likely results from?
Concentric ventricular hypertrophy
Diastolic dysfunction may result from increased activity of the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) pump. T or F
False
What is least likely to be observed in a L ventricle Dx with both systolic and diastolic function?
Reduced end-systolic volume
The increase in blood volume associated with chronic heart failure is caused by
Increased circulating aldosterone
