cardiopulmonary review Flashcards
Mean Arterial pressure equals what?
Cardiac output X systemic vascular resistance
What is MAP=CO X SVR good for?
fixing hypotensive patients
electrophysiology
electrical activity required for mechanical activity to occur
excitation-contraction coupling
distribution of Na, K, Cl, and Ca responsible for electrical potential across cell membranes
normal distribution of ions required for normal electrical activity to occur
What does 0 represent?
rapid inward Na flux
rapid depolarization
What does 1 represent
transient outward K+ flux
initial repolarization
What does 2 represent?
large, slow inward Ca flux
triggers cellular Ca release
cell contracts
what does 3 represent?
Outward K flux
repolarization
What does 4 represent
resting phase
What does 0 represent
slower inward Na and Ca flux
slower rate of depolarization
pacemaker cells
What does 2 represent
large slow inward Ca flux
trigger cellular Ca release
cell contracts
pacemaker cells
What does 3 represent?
outward K flux
repolarization
pacemaker cells
What does 4 represent?
Slow inward Na flux
slow depolarization
pacemaker cells
diastolic depolarization
SA & AV node, purkinje system
resting potential gradually depolarizes
reaches threshold, triggers action potential
cardiac tissue with the most rapid rate of rise of phase 4 determines heart rate
Usually SA node
excitation contraction coupling
calcium
Action potential (phase 2)–>inward Ca flux
trigger Ca release from sacroplasmic reticulum
Ca binds to troponin C
Actin and myosin can now interact
cell contracts
strength of contraction depends on amount of Ca
What interferes with excitation contraction coupling and Ca?
inhalants
increase phase 2 of action potential
