Q

Why do you want to increase preload in hypovolemic shock?

A

There is not enough fluid in the body and therefore not enough pressure for preload

37
Q

How do vasopressors to help to increase preload?

A

cause vasoconstriction- increase venous return to heart

38
Q

Why would you need to decreased fluid preload?

A

fluid overload

39
Q

What condition often causes fluid overload?

40
Q

What can you do to decrease preload?

A

give diuretics or nitro

41
Q

How do vasodilators cause a decrease in preload?

A

pulls fluid out of blood volume via renal system

42
Q

How does nitro cause a decrease in preload?

A

widening of vessels decreased venous return to heart

43
Q

Is the force or load against which the heart must contract to eject blood
OR the pressure the ventricles must work against in order to get semilunar valves open so blood can leave ventricle and can go to either lungs or the body.

44
Q

Things that increase afterload

A

Vasoconstriction, pulmonary hypertension, valve stenosis

45
Q

How does vasoconstriction increase afterload?

A

increases pressure to overcome

46
Q

How does pulmonary hypertension increase afterload?

A

increases pulmonary vascular resistance- increase work load on right ventricle

47
Q

How does valve stenosis increase afterload?

A

valve narrowing- working very hard to get blood throughout the body.

48
Q

Things that decreased afterload

A

vasodilators

49
Q

How do vasodilators decreased afterload

A

decrease resistance

50
Q

Strength of cardiac cells to contract/shorten

A

Cardiac contractility

51
Q

Amount of blood pumped by (each) ventricle with each beat

A

Stroke Volume (SV)

52
Q

What effects SV

A

cardiac contractility, preload and afterload

53
Q

What is normal SV?

A

70ml/ventricle

54
Q

The amount of blood the heart pumps throughout the body per min

A

Cardiac Output

55
Q

How do you calculate cardiac output?

56
Q

What is the normal amount of cardial output?

A

approx. 5 L/ventricle/min

1 beat= 70ml, 72 bpm

57
Q

The max amount of blood that can be pumped out by the heart above the normal volume

A

Cardiac Reserve

58
Q

When is cardiac reseve used?

A

exercise, stress, ect

59
Q

Cardiac output for increased age

A

300 % extra work 15L/min

60
Q

Cardiac output for young adult

A

500% extra work -25 L/min

61
Q

Cardiac output for athletes

A

600-700% extra work -30-35 L/min

62
Q

Same as the stroke volume just as a percentage

A

Ejection Fraction

63
Q

What is normal Ejection Fraction?

64
Q

How to calculate Ejection Fraction?

A

cross multiply

70  =   x
130     100(%)

answer 53.84%

65
Q

Valve that is narrowed and doesn’t open properly

A

Heart Valve Stenosis

66
Q

What happens to the valves in Heart Valve Stenosis?

A

thicken, stiffen or fuse together

67
Q

How does Heart Valve Stenosis effect the heart?

A

Heart has to work harder to pump blood through the valve- reduced 02 to body

68
Q

backflow of blood caused by failure of the heart’s mitral valve to close tightly

A

Heart Valve regurgitation

69
Q

What are other names for Heart valve regugitation?

A

Heart Valve Insufficiency or incompetence

70
Q

What is the difference between valve stenosis and valve regurgitation?

A

Stenosis-Ridged, stuck, cant open

Regurgitation- Leaky, floppy allow blood backwards, doesn’t close all the way

71
Q

What is the purpose of heart valves?

A

keep blood moving through the heart in the right direction

72
Q

Problems with the mitral valve?

A

stenosis, regurgitation or prolapse

73
Q

Problems with the aortic valve?

A

stenosis, age related

74
Q

Blood is prevented from flowing backward in the veins by…

A

one-way valves

75
Q

Blood flow through the capillary beds is controlled by……

A

precapillary sphincters

76
Q

How do precapillary sphincters work?

A

Increase and decrease flow depending on the body’s needs

77
Q

What activates precapillary sphincters?

A

Nerve and hormone signals.

78
Q

Circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels

A

Microcirculation

79
Q

Where is Microcirculation found

A

within organ tissues

80
Q

What are the different types of microvessels?

A

1.terminal arterioles, 2.metarterioles, 3.capillaries, and 4.venules

81
Q

Carry oxygenated blood to the capillaries

A

Arterioles

82
Q

Blood flows out of the capillaries through what?

83
Q

Where does blood go once it leave through venules?

84
Q

other than blood microcirculation also includes?

A

lymphatic capillaries and collecting ducts

85
Q

Main functions of the microcirculation

A

Delivery of O2, nutrients and removal of CO2

Regulate blood flow and tissue perfusion

86
Q

What does microcirculation effect by regulating blood flow and tissue perfusion?

A

BP and edema (imflammation)

87
Q

Lymphatic System returns what?

A

Venous blood

88
Q

How many people in the US have some form of heart disease?

A

1 out of 2

89
Q

Venous or arterial? pulses

90
Q

Venous or arterial? deoxygenated

91
Q

Venous or arterial? 1. Gets back through lymph systems of peripheral vascular system
