Exam 1: Hemodynamic Monitoring Flashcards
Four parameters that are continually evaluated during anesthesia:
Oxygenation
Ventilation
Circulation
Temperature
Two exceptions to constant-presence requirement:
Laboring moms
Pain mgmt
Minimal standard monitors (6):
BEPPOE: BP EKG Precordial stethoscope Pulse ox Oxygen analyzer ETCO2
Minimal information on monitor display:
BEVOH: BP EKG Ventilation status (ETCO2) O2 Saturation HR
Means of hemodynamic monitoring (6):
Stethoscope EKG BP (invasive and non) CVP PAP/PCWP TEE
Esophageal stethoscope distance of insertion:
28-30cm
Advantage of esophageal/precordial stethoscope:
Very sensitive monitor for bronchospasm/changes in pediatric patients
Purposes of EKG monitoring (5):
Detect arrythmias Monitor HR Detect ischemia Detect electrolyte changes Monitor pacemaker
Best EKG lead for rhythm detection:
II
Best EKG lead for ischemia detection:
V
3-lead leads:
I, II, III
5-lead leads:
I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V
Significant coronary artery not viewed in a 3-lead:
LAD
Reasons for EKG artifact:
Cautery/electrical equip Movement Hair Sweat Shivering
Gain standard: ____ signal produces _____ calibration pulse so that a _____ ST segment change can be accurately assessed
1mV; 10mm; 1mm
Two EKG filtering modes:
Monitor
Diagnostic
Filtering should be set to this mode:
Diagnostic
Five principle indicators of acute ischemia:
ST segment elevation or depression
T wave inversion or peaking
Q wave development
Leads to detect posterior/inferior wall ischemia (RCA):
II
III
AVF
Leads to detect lateral wall ischemia (circumflex):
I
AVL
V5-V6
Leads to detect anterior wall ischemia (LCA):
I
AVL
V1-V4
Leads to detect anterioseptal ischemia (LAD):
V1-V4
Changes in SBP correlate with:
Changes in myocardial O2 requirements
Changes in DBP correlate with:
Coronary perfusion pressure
MAP calculation:
SBP+2(DBP)/3
