Ed's Cardiac Output Lecture / Final Exam Prep Flashcards
Cardiac Output
Formula ?
C.O = HR X SV ml/min = beats/min X ml/beat
Cardiac Output (resting range)
4 - 8 L/m
6 Factors affecting Cardiac Output
MOBGAP
- Metabolic rate
- Oxygen demand
- Body size / type
- Gender
- Age
- Posture
The most potent determinate of cardiac output is
metabolic oxygen demand
5 Things that increase metabolism:
- exercise
- sepsis
- strong emotion
- trauma/surgery
- temperature
C.O. of a female Vs. C.O. of a male?
female = 10% lower than a male of the same body size
In general, females have ____ skeletal muscle mass than males.
Smaller
How do we adjust for individual differences??
- Calculate cardiac index!
- Adjusts C.O. to a
defined measurement
Of body tissue
(BSA)
Cardiac Index formula ?
C.O. / BSA
Normal adult C.I. range?
2.5 - 4.2 L/min/m2
How do we calculate BSA??
(w^.425)(H^.725)(.007184)
Advantages of CI ?
Normalizes cardiac output relative to body surface area
Disadvantages of CI ?
The relationship of metabolism to surface area can be very different from patient to patient
When is CI at its highest?
Childhood
Neonates may have
X3 the CI as an adult
when a person stands up, what happen?
C.O. decreases
S.V. formula =
C.O. / HR X1000
DO2 (delivery) formula=
CaO2 X C.O. X 10
PVR formula =
80 X (MPAP-PAWP) /C.O.
