Q

V wave

A

back pressure wave from blood filling RA

17
Q

In a healthy individual with disease-free arteries, does systolic blood pressure increase or decrease in the leg relative to the proximal aorta

A

The systolic pressure rises and the diastolic pressure falls, therefore the pulse pressure increases, as the pressure pulse travels away from the aorta. Map should stay the same.

18
Q

What is damping in an arterial line tracing?

A

How quickly those vibrations - the harmonic oscillator, “bouncing” a couple of times before coming to rest

19
Q

what is ringing in A-line

A

exaggerated systolic component of an arterialwaveform. affects MAP

20
Q

once you see the dicrotic notch you are back in the

A

artery

Q

Patients with a left to right shunt can display this type of CO measurement:

A

high
