Ex2 Invasive Monitoring Flashcards
SBP in radial artery is _______ than pressure in aorta
20-30 mmHg higher
Decreased diastolic
Dicrotic notch
Aortic valve closes
Underdamped ABP
High flush = 3-4 cycles
Overdamped ABP
High flush = 0 oscillations
NAVEL
Nerve artery vein as you move towards belly button (femoral line)
As arterial cannulation moves peripherally, what occurs?
Distortion, Increased SBP, PP; Decreased DBP
ABP slope of upstroke
Myocardial contractility
Large variations in ABP
Respiratory variations - large variations may mean hypovolemia
Slope of downstroke
SVR
Slurred downstroke
Increased afterload
Decreased waveform — variations (PPV)
Volume status
Mimic changes in intrathoracic/pulm pressures
CVP is measured at the level of
Tricuspid valve
Seldinger Technique
Guidewire threaded thru vein, needle removed/catheter advanced over guidewire then guidewire removed
IJ CVP
Most common site
Sternal/clavicular heads of SCM muscle
30* towards ipsilateral needle
Subclavian Central Line - pros/cons
Decreased rate of infection
*no finder needle
Most common risk of Pneumothorax, hemothorax
Subclavian to RA distance
10 cm
RIJ/LIJ to RA distance
15/20
Femoral to RA distance
40 cm
R/L median basilic to RA distance
40/50
Distal tip of CVP catheter (x-ray)
Positioned at level above azygos vein
OR
Carina of trachea
LIJ complications
Thoracic duct puncture (lymph)
Carotid artery puncture
Air embolism risk is reduced from
T-berg position
What complication is most common with a subclavian line?
Pneumothorax
What complication is most common with LIJ insertion?
Thoracic duct puncture
