Exam 1 Lecture 7 Flashcards
What is SNS reserve directly correlated to
Cardiac reserve
What percentage increase can we increase CO In an average human
We can increase it about 400% or 4-fold
What is it called when the heart grows from frequent and healthy exercise
Physiological hypertrophy
this is usually a good thing
What is happening at point A
Point A- right after MI hasn’t really compensated yet in real-world compensation happens immediately but not for my class
CO around 2.5-3.0
RAP 2- increased from 0; heart being a poor pump and heart struggles to pump appropriately
What is happening at point B
Point B
Body will compensate by increasing venous return by constricting heart or SNS tighten up
CO 3.0+
RAP- 5 mmHg
this is still decent not super swell
What is happening at point C,D
point C, D,
a little improvement
from more volume, from kidneys conserving fluids mostly
increased venous return overall
What is happening at point E
Point E,
body still retaining fluids
at this point we are stretching heart out too much
What is happening at point F
Point F
not recoverable
the heart is to stretched out
it is time to cut you losses “DCJC”
What happens to the LAP if we increase the pressure a shit ton
high LAP will cause pulmonary edema
pulmonary capillaries pressure is definitely lower than systemic; if we have pressure building in LA and excessive pressure, if we add 16mmhg to the 5 currently in there, this prevents all of the fluid reabsorption on venular side of pulmonary capillaries, causing fluid to leak into the lungs
(And yes Shit ton is a real measurement for my class)
For my class what is the normal pulmonary capillary pressure
Around 5mmHg
For my class at what value of CO in L/min do we start to see inadequate organ perfusion
Anything less than 5.0 L/min
(So 4.999999999 L/min or less)
Explain what is happening at Point C and D
Blue line is bad MI
Point C- compensation from system, SNS probably tighten up
Point D- CO 5l/min, venous return increased, moving from point C to D probably from heart recovering some tissues or drugs have helped
What two vasopressors probably won’t work for this chart
Norepi and EPI won’t help here the body still has plenty floating around
What does Digoxin do to our filling pressures over time
Decrease overtime with Dig body can ease up on the filling pressure since the drug is making the heart a better pump overall; this allows us to operate at a lower filling pressure
What is probably the worst tool by itself for monitoring Shock?
Arterial pressure reading is not indicative of level of shock because the system autoregulates it; it is crucial for perfusing tissue, but it is not indicative of CO perfusion
What is the gold standard of CO measurement
Swan Ganz catheter
For my shits and giggles, what is the fundamental difference between the red line and black lines in this experiment
Black line were able to survive the experiment
Red lines died
What does SVO2 stand for
SVO2- saturation venous Hgb with oxygen
Why is lactate levels important for monitoring shock
Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic (no oxygen) metabolism. The higher the lactate the lower the perfusion to the tissues
How does shock impact coagulations levels
coagulation levels- shock has a lot of sludge shitty blood flow and creates clots in blood vessels, coag test not the best test overall
For my class in regards to the Swan, what does it mean if the saline dilutes out quickly
Normal people call this shooting numbers- injection of cold saline, the faster this saline dilutes out or warms up the higher the CO
die or saline goes through pulmonary artery
What does the fick equation look at
Looks at gas quantity’s at 2 different side of circulation
What does VO2 mean?
amount of gas absorbed by lungs per minute, (will have VO2 with a little dot on top of the V means it a unit of time)
What is the O2 content or arterial and venous blood for a perfectly healthy 30-year-old male
arterial blood- 20ml O2/ dl of arterial blood
vein blood- 15mlO2/dl of venous blood
In normal systemic tissues how much O2 is exchanged out if your arterial O2 is 20ml)2/dl
and your venous O2 is 15mlO2/dl
5mlO2/dl
