CVP Terms and Definitions Flashcards
Volume pumped out of heart per beat is?
SV, Stroke volume
Preload
How much blood is in the ventricle prior to contraction/end of diastole
Afterload
*Pressure needed to open aortic valve in order to be pumped through rest of the body
What is Atelectasis?
a complete or partial collapse of a lung or lobe of a lung — develops when the tiny air sacs (alveoli) within the lung become deflated. It’s a breathing (respiratory) complication after surgery.
What is ARD’s?
occurs when fluid builds up in the tiny, elastic air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. The fluid keeps your lungs from filling with enough air, which means less oxygen reaches your bloodstream. This deprives your organs of the oxygen they need to function.
What is angioplasty?
surgical repair or unblocking of a blood vessel, especially a coronary artery.
What is systole?
Systole is the last stage of a heart beat. It happens right after diastole, when the heart refills with blood. During systole, the heart’s two ventricles contract (squeeze).[1] (The ventricles are the largest parts of the heart, which pump blood to the body and lungs.)
What is diastole?
Diastole is the time during a heart beat when the heart fills with blood after a contraction. The contraction of the heart is called systole and is the opposite of diastole. This means expanding or opening.
Two types of diastole?
Ventricular diastole is the time when the two lower chambers of the heart called the ventricles are relaxing to let the blood to flow in.
Atrial diastole is the time when the two upper chambers of the heart called the atria are relaxing to allow the blood to flow in.
In a BP of 120/80 what would be systole and what would be diastole?
if a person’s blood pressure is 120/80, 120 is the systolic pressure, and 80 is the diastolic pressure.
Define dyspnea
Labored or troubled breathing
What is septicemia?
Blood poisoning, especially that caused by bacteria or their toxins. (commonly seen in junkies)
Describe the Coronary Ostia and locations
The coronary arteries originate as the right and left main coronary arteries, which exit the ascending aorta just above the aortic valve (coronary ostia). There are three cusps of the aortic valve: the non-coronary cusp, which contains no ostia, the right coronary cusp, which contains the ostia of the right coronary artery, and the left coronary cusp, which contains the ostia of the left (main) coronary artery. The ostia of the left and right coronary arteries are located just above the aortic valve, as are the left and right sinuses of Valsalva.
Oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta from the left ventricle; it then flows into the coronary artery ostia. Blood flow into the coronary arteries is greatest during ventricular diastole
((**picture looked like the two ostial buttons are above the aortic valve and beginning of RCA and LCA))
Definition of precipitous
Dangerously high or steep
Describe pulmonary atresia
Pulmonary atresia is a form of heart disease in which the pulmonary valve does not form properly. It is present from birth (congenital heart disease). The pulmonary valve is an opening on the right side of the heart that regulates blood flow from the right ventricle (right side pumping chamber) to the lungs.
In pulmonary atresia, the fused valve leaflets form a solid sheet of tissue where the valve opening should be. This blocks normal blood flow to the lung. Because of this defect, blood from the right side of the heart cannot go to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
Where to you look to see retrograde cardioplegia pressure? Which range should it be in? What should flow be?
On the CDI monitor, 35-50 roughly. The flow should be roughly 200 and come up slowly so you do not rupture the coronary sinus
3 ways to deliver cardioplegia?
Retrograde, antegrade, ostial (very small tip, can take awhile so surgeon may not prefer this method if it takes awhile)
Difference between duel stage and triple stage? When would you use it? Where does the cannula sit?
Would be an extra set of holes on triple stage. Used mainly for procedures where you don’t need to go through the right side. It sits in the chamber of the right atrium. ((Wouldn’t work if they needed to work on pulmonary or tricuspid valve bc you would have nothing but air, RA is open))
Procedures you would use duel stage or triple stage?
- Aortic valves
- Coronaries
- Even in a dissection (bc you won’t be doing anything on the right hand side of the heart)
- Anything on left side of the heart
Use axillary cannulation when?
When there is a problem suspected with the aorta. When they suspect something may need to be done with the aortic root. May do axillary so it takes cannulation out of their way.
Want correct flow through a cannula, arterial we are looking for a _____ pressure drop an a _____ pressure drop with venous
Arterial-100mm
Venous-40mm
(gradient between the line pressure and patient pressure) (Check graph and say you need 5L go over to 5L and over to 100 for arterial.
Why would you move your reservoir up or down during the case?
Could use gravity to assist you in getting more drainage, could decrease your flow that way
*What ratio is del nido solution given at?
*(means are final review questions from greg)
1 part crystalloid, 4 parts blood
*In pH stat blood gas management, what are the changes in the pH and co2 when measured at 37 deg. C?
*pH will decrease & co2 will increase
*Normal p50 described in oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is?
27 mmHg
