Exam 1 Lecture 5 Flashcards
Balloon pump is okay for what valve condition
Mitral regurgiation
What is the chemical symbol of the gas in inside the balloon pump?
He or helium
Is helium molecular weight atmospheric or subatmospheric
Subatmospheric
It weighs less than the atmosphere; this is why we have a short supply. It just floats away( much like my chances of passing)
When does the balloon pump inflate and deflate
Inflates during diastole
Deflates during systole
What is the purpose of the balloon pump inflating during diastole and deflating during systole
inflates during diastole- helps push blood down the aorta
deflates during systole- provides artificially low afterload
Now for our class, you have a patient that is dead, and you are doing CPR to save this poor fella. What valve issues would have the hardest time getting ROSC
Aortic Stenosis
in CPR heart doesn’t contract in sequence
CPR doesn’t fill ventricles as normal
it does affect the other valve issues and negatively impact patients with aortic stenosis
What happens to pulse pressure in aortic regurgitation
For our class, gets larger
What are the two variables for pulse pressure
Strength of contraction from LV
Stroke volume- increase in SV will increase pulse pressure
What is the pneumonic for auscultation of heart sounds
APTM
During the second heart sound if we have “splitting” what valve closes first
Aortic closes before the pulmonic valve normally
Sorry for the terrible question……
During inspiration, what happens to the timing of the pulmonic valve
During inspiration will reduce preload and afterload on right side, lowers pulmonary arterial pressure slows down pulmonic valve closure and keeps it open a little longer than it normally would
What is it called when we have an anastomosis between the RCA and LCA
Codominance
What is the X descent
X descent- after a and c wave, after atria contraction, point in time atria start getting filled back up and pretty empty
What is the Y descent
after V wave, sharp drop in pressure and AV valves open back up, ventricles filling here this is why rapid drop
What is the H plateau
immediately before an A wave, not a lot of pressure changes in middle 1/3 of diastole
What is the A wave
Atrial contraction
What is the C wave
C wave is bowing out backwards of AV valve
Why is the black line have a steeper slope
Steeper slope of black line is from decreased RVR and more volume added to solution
What is Schmidt defintion of shock
Shock is inability to get nutrients to the tissues
What if you are a hood rat on the streets, and get shot and lose 30% of your blood volume? What are your chances if you cant get to the hospital
Pretty much toast
If our SNS magically stops working how much blood can we lose before we are toast
10-15%
What is the 1st stage of hemorrhagic shock?
Non progressive stage- 1st step in shock, things wont be deadly just yet but can get worse
What is the second stage of shock
Progressive shock- worse off, can still be saved and will need immediate intervention.
What is the last stage of shock
Irreversible shock- point where CO and BP is so low and no intervention can save them
What are 2 conditions that reduce vein tone and make our shock wayyyy worse and causes vasodilation
Anaphylaxis and septic shock
