cardiovascular part 1 (2) Flashcards
describe blood flo through heart?
inferior vena cava → right atrium → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonic valve → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → mitral valve → aortic valve → aorta → body
what are the 2 atrioventricular (AV) valves?
separate atrium and ventricles, name right and left
tricuspid = right AV valve
mitral = left AV valve
which 2 valves are semilunar valves?
pulmonic valve
aortic valve
what node is the pacemaker of the heart?
SA node
what cells initiate electrical impulse?
specialized cells in right upper atrium near superior vena cava (SA node!!!)
where is the AV node located?
low in atrial septum
why do PICC lines casue increased risk for arrythmias?
they are near the SA node, amy touch and interfere
describe pathway of conduction?
SA node → AV node → bundle of HIS → R and L bundle branches → purkinje fibers
what signifies atrial depolarization
P wave
what is the time from beginning of atrial depolarization to beginning of ventricular depoalrization
PR interval
what is ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
what is ventricular repolarization
T wave
what is the period between ventricular depolarization and repolarization?
ST segment
when can electrical conduction be measured PQRST
if pt. is in sinus rhythm with 5 leads
what is the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to tissues
oxygen saturation
what measures arterial oxygen saturation?
SpO2 (pulse ox)
normal pulse ox?
95-98
what will require a child to need oxygen?
can not maintain 92% while awake or 88% while sleeping
what is the point if maximum impulse for children 7 and younger?
4th intercostal space (ICS) medial to left midclavicular line (MCL)
what is the point of maximum impulse over age 7?
5th ICS, left MCL
what is the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle each minute
cardiac output
how is cardiac output controlled in young children
heart rate
