Hemodynamic Flashcards
Why are Hemodynamics important?
-Decision-making/effects of interventions
-Measurement of pressure,perfusion, oxygenation
-Monitoring fluids stats,preload,afterload,contractility
Hemodynamics
Goal
adequate tissue perfusion=MAP>65
Oxygenation
How to caculate MAP?
BP: 102/38
Easy as 123
1S+2D3
102+38x23= 59.3=59
a) Cardiac out?
b) What is stroke volume?
a) amount of blood pumped by the heart/min
HR x SV
b) Preload
Afterload
Contractility
Preload
a) what is it?
b) measured by?
a) Filling volume of ventricle @ very end diastole(right and left)
b) CVP
PAWP
a) What CVP?
b) PAWP?
Measures venouse volume
a) Central venous pressure
AKA: RAP right atrium prssure
Coming blood to rihgt=mesure RV preload
b) Pulmonary artery wedge pressure
Coming blood to left= mesure LV preload
a) cause inc preload patho?
b) Factor elvated valumes?
a) Inc fiuid volume
Venous vasocontstriction
b) CHF
Over hydrartion( IV fluid)
CKD/ESRD
Albumin
Preload inc
Assessment findings
Too much venous volume(pt is wet)
Crakles
JVD
Hepatomegaly
Peripheral edema
a) cause dec preload patho?
b) Factor dec valumes?
a) low fluid volume
Venous vasodilation
b) Drug
-nitroglycerin
-lasix,diuretics
Hemorrhage
Dehdration
Burns
Preload dec
Assessment findings
Not enough venous volume
(pt is dry)
Poor skin turgor
Dry mucous membranes
Afterload
a) What is it?
b) What is the main determinant of vascular resistance?
a) RESISTANCE that the ventricle must overcome in order to eject blood from the ventricle
b) lumen size and blood viscosity
Inc or dec afterload
a) when vasodilated?
b) when vasoconstricted?
a) dec afterload = dec SVR
b) inc afterload = inc SVR – makes the heart work harder
a) What SVR?
b) What PVR?
c) goal
a) Systemic vascular resistance
LV afterload
Not volume, mesurement of resistance
b) Pulmonary vascular resistance
RV afterload
c) least work load while still maintaining end oragan tissue perfusion
Afterload
dec condition?
Sepsis
Medications
-Nipride
-Ace i
-ARB
-CCB
