Every Breath You Take and Some of Your Heartbeats Flashcards

understand the foundation of cardiopulmonary system

1
Q

What is the path of the blood through the heart?

A
  1. Blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior venae cavae and the coronary sinus.
  2. From the right atrium, it goes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle.
  3. From the right ventricle, it goes through the pulmonary semilunar valves to the pulmonary trunk.
  4. From the pulmonary trunk, it moves into the right and left pulmonary arteries to the lungs.
  5. From the lungs, oxygenated blood is returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins.
  6. From the pulmonary veins, blood flows into the left atrium.
  7. From the left atrium, blood flows through the bicuspid (mitral) valve into the left ventricle.
  8. From the left ventricle, it goes through the aortic semilunar valves into the ascending aorta.
  9. Blood is distributed to the rest of the body (systemic circulation) from the aorta.

Q

Pressure gradient of inspiration?

A

Muscle contraction, thoracic volume increases, thoracic pressure decreases, air flows IN to equalize pressure

21
Q

Pressure gradient of quiet exhalation?

A

muscle relaxation, thoracic volume decreases, thoracic pressure increase, air flows OUT to equalize pressure

22
Q

What nerves innervate the diaphragm?

A

R and L phrenic nerves (C3-C5)

23
Q

Diaphragm insertion?

A

costal, sternal, and crural portions insert on central tendon, r hemidiaphragm higher than L

24
Q

Primary muscles responsible for inspiration?

A

Diaphragm (60%), scalenes, external intercostals, internal intercostals, innermost intercostals

25
Q

What are the accessory muscles of breathing of inspiration?

A

sternocleidomastoid, pec major, pec minor, serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi, erectors spinae

26
Q

What is the role of the scalenes?

A

Active during inspiration to elevate and stabilize upper ribs, originate on transverse processes of C3-C7, insert on ribs 1 and 2, insert on ventral rami of C3-C7

27
Q

Direction and location of external intercostals?

A

Fibers run inferiorly and medially, most prominent on lateral chest wall

28
Q

Direction and location of internal intercostals?

A

Fibers run inferiorly and laterally, most prominent on anterior chest walls, primarly inspiration for anterior fibers and forced expiration for lateral fibers

29
Q

Direction and location of innermost intercostals?

A

Fibers run inferiorly and laterally, most prominent in lower thorax

30
Q

Role of abdominals is force expiration?

A

Active contraction, direct effects: flexes thorax, depresses ribs and sternum, indirect effects: increased abdominal pressure drives diaphragm superiorly. (also lateral fibers of internal intercostals transversus thoracis)

31
Q

Requirements for coughing?

A

strong inspiratory effort (60% of vital capacity), control of glottis, strong contraction of abs

32
Q

Ventilation in pulmonary fibrosis? Is this restrictive or obstructive?

A

Restrictive. Lung compliance decreases, increased muscular effort req for ventilation, increased work of breathing

33
Q

What muscles elevate and stabilize the ribs during inspiration?

A

scalenes

sternocleidomastoid

34
Q

What are the three articulations of the sternum?

A

chostochondral
chostosternal
interchondral: 5-10

35
Q

Explain the bucket/pump handle of the thoracic cage?

A

Elevation of the lateral shaft of the rib with superior and anterior movement of the sternum with inspiration

36
Q

Does exhalation decrease or increase thoracic pressure? Thoracic volume?

A

increase pressure

decrease volume

37
Q

Which intercostals are used for inspiration?

A

external intercostals AND anterior internal (lateral are for forced expiration)

38
Q

What three things are needed for a cough?

A

strong inspiratory effort
control of glottis
abdominal contraction

39
Q

What does ECG monitoring reflect?

A

The electrical activity that immediately precedes mechanical activity

Normally: electrical activity and mechanical activity are synchronous, but separate events

40
Q

What is a PEA?

A

dissociation, pulseless electrical activity in an ECG, electrical activity and mechanical activity has no relationship

41
Q

What are the 4 basic steps of ECG interpretation?

A

Rate, regularity, intervals/waveforms, rhythm

42
Q

When reading an ECG 1 large box = ____mm and ___ seconds?

A

1 Large box = 5mm and .2 sec

43
Q

What is the rate of each of Sinus Bradycardia?

A

<60 bpm

44
Q

What is the rate of Sinus Tachycardia?

A

> 100bpm

45
Q

What are two reasons an Echocardiogram would be used instead of an X-Ray? What can the echocardiogram test for?

A

Greater detail and 2. less radiation
-Measures chamber dimensions, wall thickness, chamber pressures, estimates EF%.
-Assesses wall motion and valve function

46
Q

Why would you use a transesophageal echocardiogram instead of a regular echo?

A

The view is critically important and the traditional isn’t clear or enough

47
Q

What method of imaging gives you the best anatomical view of the heart’s anatomy?

A

MRI, can give better image quality if echo’s quality of image isn’t good.

48
Q

What test gives you the best view of the coronary arteries?

A

CT scan
