Answer 23

.

Question 24

CVP waveform

Answer 24

a = atrial contractionc = closure of tricuspid valve, ventricular contraction x = atrial relaxation v = atrial filling y = opening of tricuspid valve, ventricular filling

Systole is between start of c wave and end of v wave. AF: loss of a wavesTR: loss of x descent, giant v waves CHB: cannon a waves CVP reflects the pressure in the great veins of the thorax, and hence the RA. It approximates RV preload. Highest at end expiration in SV and end inspiration in IPPV.

Question 25

Arterial waveform

Answer 25

Upstroke: contractility (slurred upstroke in AS) Dicrotic notch: AV closure; low in low preload AUC up to dicrotic notch): SV Downstroke: SVR Swing: >10mmHg suggests underfilled Pulse pressure: wide in AR, narrow in AS/tamponade/cardiogenic shock/massive PE/tension PTX)

Question 29

Pulmonary artery catheter

Answer 29

RA - inflate balloon once waveform seen RVPAPCWP 6-12mmHg (measured at end expiration) at 45-55cm Investigation of shock aetiology, cardiac shunts, CO measurement, PHTN, route for cardiac pacing. Info: SvO2, CO, core temp, PCWP = LVEDP estimate, RA/RV/PAP, CVP, SVR (derived).Normal SvO2 70-75%; lower in low CO, increased O2 consumption, reduced O2 content.
