Q

Why is whole blood given?

A

Q

Why are packed RBCs given?

A
  • increase the O2 carrying capacity without volume expansion
  • this must be ABO specific and Rh specific
  • for symptomatic anemia, blood loss with symptoms

102
Q

Systemic vascular resistance

A

the force opposing the movement of blood

–specifically the diameter/radius of blood vessels

103
Q

If SVR increases and CO increases or stays the same then what will happen to BP

A

it will increase

104
Q

Sympathetic Nervous System

A

(fight or flight)
a decrease in BP activates the SNS w/in seconds/minutes
—-increasing HR, contractility. stimulates vasoconstriction and promotes release of renin from kidneys

105
Q

SNS: Baroreceptors

A

when BP rises baroreceptors (stretch receptors) are stimulated. inhibitory impulse sent to the sympathetic vasomotor of the brainstemm.
dilates arterioles, decreases HR, contractility. CO lowers and BP lowers….when BP SNS activated again.

106
Q

Renal System and BP

A

Kidneys help with B by regulating Na and fluid volume. drop in BP causes Na/water to be retained (aldosterone). results in increase in extracellular volume. so there is an increase in venous return, SV, CO & BP

107
Q

RAAS

A

decrease in blood flow through kidneys-> renin secreted by kidneys and converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1. ACE converts angoiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2 (vasocontrictor). Angiotensin 2 stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone which tells the body to hold onto Na/fluid

108
Q

Endocrine system and BP

A

SNS-> epi/norepi
increase in HR and contractility and CO
vasocontricts
stimulates adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
ADH released from pituitary gland to increase fluid amount

109
Q

When to treat high BP with meds….

A

> 60 150/90
<60 140/90

MEDSS GIVEN REGARDLESS OF LIFESTYLE CHANGE

110
Q

more common in older adults
loss of elasticity in arteries

111
Q

Pseudo-HTN

A
  • seen in atherosclerotic vessels.
  • sclerotic arteries don’t collapse when cuff inflated so BP is artificially elevated
  • suspect when are rigid or other cardiac signs found
  • only way to measure is intra-arterial catheter
112
Q

Primary HTN

A

elevated BP without identified cause

—most cases are primary

113
Q

can lead to HTN crisis
tx: eliminate the underlying cause

114
Q

Age-related changes and HTN

A
  • loss of tissue elasticity
  • increase in vessel collagen (dont dilate as well)
  • Increased SVR and PVR
  • baroreceptors less sensitive to stimulus
