[Exam 2/Final] Chapter 25: Assessment of Cardiovascular Function Flashcards
What is the S1 sound?
First sound when you hear lub. Tricuspid and Mital valves closing.
Normal Heart Sounds: What is the S2 sound?
The dub, the closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves.
Normal Heart Sounds: What is a S3 sound?
Abnormal early diastolic sound during period of rapid ventricular filling
Normal Heart Sounds: What happens if Mitral valve malfunctioning and blood not flowing as easily from left atrium to left ventricle?
Will hear an extra sound.
Normal Heart Sounds: What can cause extra heart sounds?
Left ventricle being enlarged, hypertension, coronary artery disease, aortic stenosis.
Normal Heart Sounds: What does it mean when you hear lub dub dub?
blood flowing into the left ventricle is met with resistance, and is why you hear this sound.
Normal Heart Sounds: What does it mean if you hear “lub” lub dub
Blood is flowing back into the right ventricle.
Normal Heart Sounds: What is a S4 sound?
Abnormal late diastolic sound during atrial systole
Normal Heart Sounds: Where is the tricuspid valve?
Between Right atrium and ventricle
Normal Heart Sounds: where is the mitral valve?
Between the left atrium and ventricle
Key Terms: What is SV?
Amount of blood ejected from the ventricles per heartbeat. Typicaly will send out 60-130 mL
Key Terms: What is Cardiac Output?
Total amount of blood ejected per ventricle in L per minute.
Key Terms: what is the normal cardiac output?
4-6 L per minute.
Key Terms: What is the formula for CO
HR x SV
Key Terms: Why may a heart rate go up for CO?
To try to get more cardiac output so the body compensates this way.
Key Terms: What is preload
Ventricular filling volume at the highest. Degree of stretch of ventricular muscle fibers, the degree of stretch that the heart can take.
Key Terms: What is afterload?
Resistance to the injection of blood from the ventricles. Resistance ventricles must overcome, the pressure it must overcome to get it ejected into rest of heart.
Key Terms: What is contractility?
How forceful the contraction the myocardium can make, the heart muscle. The squeez
Key Terms: What is ejection fraction
How much blood is being ejected out from left ventricle. Normally 55-65%. Its the end diastolic blood volume.
Key Terms: What is patient experiencing when EF < 40%
Likely has HF and not functioning as well.
Factors Influencing Cardiac Output: What factors influence HR?
Autonomic Innervation,
Hormones,
Fitness Levels,
Age
Factors Influencing Cardiac Output: What factors influence SV>
Heart Size Fitness Level Gender Contractility Duration of Contraction Preload Afterload
Preload and Afterload: What is preload?
Pressure from volume of blodo in ventricles at end of diastole
Preload and Afterload: Preload is increased under what circumstances?
Hypervolemia
Regurgitation of Cardiac Valves
Heart Failure
Preload and Afterload: What is Afterload?
Resistance left ventricles must overcome to circulate blood
Preload and Afterload: Afterload increased when?
Hypertension and Vasoconstriction
Preload and Afterload: An increase in afterload causes what change in body?
Increase in cardiac workload
Hemodynamic Monitoring: What is this
Close monitoring of all of the patients pressures?
Hemodynamic Monitoring: How is non-invasive monitoring performed?
By checking vital signs.
Hemodynamic Monitoring - CVP: What is called?
Central Venous Pressure
Hemodynamic Monitoring: What is a Pulmonary Artery Pressure (Swan Ganz Catheter)?
Also called PA Catheter
They will get isnerted through IJ or subclavian and have different monitoring decives. Includes CVP
Hemodynamic Monitoring - CVP: What is this
Catheter sits inside tip of right atrium. Tells us about right atrial pressure,
Hemodynamic Monitoring - CVP: Why would monitoring right atrial pressure be useful?
Gives us an idea about the patient’s fluid status
Hemodynamic Monitoring - CVP: What is another name for a PA Catheter?
Swans Ganz Catheter
Hemodynamic Monitoring: What is contained within PA Catheter (Swns Ganz Catheter)
CVP
Pulmonary artery Line
Hemodynamic Monitoring: What is the color of the CVP line?
BLue Line
Hemodynamic Monitoring - Swan Ganz Catheter: What path does PA Line follow?
Goes through right atrium, right ventricle, and up and then sits in the pulmonary artery.
Hemodynamic Monitoring - Swan Ganz Catheter: What does the PA Line tell us?
Gives us a PA pressure and tells us about how that left ventricle is functioning. Because left ventricle can push back pressure within lungs.
Hemodynamic Monitoring - Intra-Arterial Pressure: What is this?
Catheter can be ran into radial pulse, femoral pulse, brachial pulse and get us a continous blood pressure reading.
Hemodynamic Monitoring: What are the three examples of Invasive Modalities?
CVP, Pulmonary Artery Pressure (Swan Ganz Catheter), Intra-Arterial Pressure
Hemodynamic Monitoring -Complications: What complications can result
Infection, Pneumothorax, or Air Embolism
Phlebostatic Axis: What is this?
When we hook up the patient for invasive monitoring, there needs to be spot on body where we have reference point for atrium, reference point for line.
Phlebostatic Axis: What position will this always be
Mid Axillary Line in the fourth intercostal space
Phlebostatic Axis: So where do the transducers need to be?
At the same level of the phlebostatic axis.
Swan Ganz Catheter: What is located at the end of the catheter that sits in PA Artery?
Balloon, that will be inflated when in place
