Autoregulation:Metabolic Mechanism

A

When the pressure increases to a tissue, the flow increases, and excess oxygen and nutrients are provided to the tissues. These excess nutrients cause the blood vessels to constrict and the flow to return nearly to normal despite the increased pressure

132
Q

Stage of shock in which the normalcirculatorycompensatory mechanisms eventually cause full recovery without help from outside therapy.

A

Anonprogressive stage(sometimes called thecompensated stage

133
Q

Stage of shock in which, without therapy, theshockbecomes steadily worse until death occurs.

A

Aprogressive stage

134
Q

Stage of shockin which theshockhas progressed to such an extent that all forms of known therapy are inadequate to save the person’s life even though, for the moment, the person is still alive.

A

irreversible stage

135
Q

Which heart issues have systolic murmurs?

A

Aortic stenosis

Mitral Regurg

136
Q

symptoms of Aortic Stenosis?

A

Angina
Syncope
CHF

137
Q

hemodynamic goals of Aortic Stenosis

A

↑ Preload / ↑ SVR / maintain HR

  • increased preload (to fill noncompliant LV - give 500cc NS)
  • maintain HR
  • increase SVR - Avoid hypotension. (prone to ischemia)
138
Q

Which heart issues have Diastolic murmurs?

A

Mitral Stenosis

Aortic Regurg

139
Q

Aortic regurg hemodynamic goals?

A

↑ Preload / ↑ HR / ↓ SVR

140
Q

symptoms of Aortic Regurg?

A
  • eccentric hypertrophy (from volume overload)
  • CHF
  • Angina
141
Q

symptoms of mitral stenosis?

A
  • CHF (50%)

- Atrial fibrillation

142
Q

Mitral stenosis hemodynamic goals?

A

↑ Preload
↓ HR (Slow to allow time for ventricular filling)
↓ PVR (Avoid acidosis, hypercarbia, and/or hypoxemia)

143
Q

Hemodynamic goals of mitral regurg?

A

↑ HR
↑ Inotropy
↓ SVR

144
Q

symptoms of mitral regurg?

A

Pulmonary edema

145
Q

hemodynamic goals of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

↑ Preload
↑ SVR
↓ HR
↓ Inotropy

146
Q

what is associated with aortic valve closure?

A
  • dicrotic notch on ALine

- second heart sound

147
Q

Contributes to resting membrane potential? (3)

A
  • Potassium diffusion (major Determanant)
  • small sodium diffusion
  • NaK.ATP-ase pump
148
Q

The characteristics of the upstroke of the action potential depend almost entirely on inward movement of Na+ in what phase and speed action potential?

A

Phase 0 of Fast response action potential

149
Q

Outward ___ current is mainly responsible for repolarization in fast response action potential

A

K+

150
Q

What produces the plateau in fast response action potential

A

Slow inward Ca++ currents

151
Q

s1 closure of?

A

Tricuspid and Mitral

152
Q

Cardiac Cycle:

A 
Ventricular Systole
–	Phase 2

Ventricular Diastole
–	Phase 5
•	Isovolumic relaxation
–	Phase 6
•	Rapid filling 
–	Phase 7
•	Diastasis
–	Phase 1

153
Q

What increases afterload?

A
  • Increased aortic pressure
  • Increased systemic vascular resistance
  • Aortic valve stenosis
  • Ventricular dilation
154
Q

Body fluid compartments (percent of total body weight)

A

ICF: 40%
interstitial: 15%
Plasma: 4%

155
Q

Chemoreceptor Reflex =

A
  • high pCO2, low pO2, & high H+
