normal range CI
2.6-4.2
26
normal CO
5-6 L/min
27
anrep
abrupt increase in afterload can cause a modest increase in inotropy
28
tripe (bowditch) effect)
when HR is elevated, Ca doesnt have time to completely leave the cell. This increases amt of Ca sitting on actin and myocin causes a stronger squeeze increases contractility with high HR
29
SV =
EDV - ESV
30
how does parasympathetic innervation affect inotropy
decreases
31
normal SVR
900-1200

15-30 / 5-15
38
PAOP
5-15
39
PEEP of 10 usually results in increase of CVP by
3
40
causes of high CVP
RV failure, cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis
41
what is the usual feature of the PA waveform and what does it represent
dicrotic notch, represents aortic valve closure
42
systolic PA pressure represents
pressure in the PA as blood is being ejected from the RV
43
diastolic PA pressure represents
pressure in the PA as blood moves from the artery into the lungs capillaries
44
the upstroke of the PA tracing is produced by opening of the
pulmonic valve
45
the downstroke of the PA tracing contains the
dicrotic notch, produced by sudden closure of the pulmonic valve leaflets (the beginning of diastole)
46
west zone 3 pressures
pa > pv > PA
47
big A is
alveolar
48
zone 2 pressures
pa >pA >pv
49
zone 1 pressures
PA > pa >Pv
50
when PVR is used clinically it should be viewed as a gross estimate of
RV afterload
51
increase in venous pressure ____ preload
increases
52
greater compliance leads to ___ filling and ___ preload
greater, greater
53
HR and ventricular filling are ____ related
inversely
54
hypervolemia, regurgitate of cardiac valves, and heart failure ___ preload
increase
55
increase in outflow resistance (pulmonic valve stenosis, pulm htn) ____ ventricular emptying, actually ____ preload
impairs, increases
56
when inotropy decreases (ventricular systolic failure), preload
increases
57
what is the primary determinant of SVR
arteriolar tone
58
SVR is increased by
sympathetic activation, hypovolemia, shock
59
SVR is decreased by
septic shock, parasympathetic, hypercarbia
60
what does it mean if PVR Is high
RV must work harder to move blood forward past the pulmonic valve
61
at low lung volumes, compression of the extra alveolar vessels
increases PVR.
62
the lease amt of resistance in the pulm system happens at
FRC
63
what does hypoxemia do to PVR
increases
64
what does acidemia do to PVR
increase
65
what does hypercapnia do to PVR
increases
66
what does hypovolemia do to PVR
increases
67
what does hyperinflation do to PVR (increased PEEP, increased PIP)
increases
68
what does sympathetic stimulation do to PVR
increases
69
what does a high HCT do to PVR
increases
70
what does strenuous exercise do to PVR
decrease
71
what does neo do to PVR
increase (same with constrictors)
72
what does nitric oxide to do PVR
decrease (same with other dilators)
73
increased PVR is caused by ___ PAO2, ___ PCO2, ___ph
decreased, increased, decreased
74
SVO2 is the measurement of the relationship between
o2 consumption and O2 delivery
75
fick equation
SVO2 = SAO2 - [VO2)/(hb x 1.36 x Q)]
76
a high injectate volume ___ CO
under estimates
77
a low injectate volume ___ CO
over estimates
78
if injectate is too warm, ___ CO
over estimates
79
if partially wedged, ___ CO
over estimates
80
if CO is high, injectate moves
quickly. low AUC
81
if CO is low , injectate moves
slowly. high AUC
82
if injactate is too cold
underestimates CO
83
if injectate is too warm
overestimates CO
84
unable to predict CO with thermodiluation if
r to L cardiac shunt. tricuspid regurg
