Hemodynamics Flashcards
HR
60-100 bpm
Stroke volume
vol/beat L = CO/HR
Pumping og the heart each beat.
Volume of blood ejected per beat
Heart pumps liters
Cardiac output
volume of blood pumped every min
EF
should be greater > 60
60 to above is normal
below 60 heart is failing
EF def
is the % of blood force out of LV each beat
EF
55 - 75%
Preload
the measure of the stretch when blood filing the heart
Afterload
force of the ventricles to open semi-lunar valve
SHOCK
not enough filing of heart is dehydration
No fluid, we need to give pt. vasopressor to increase contraction or volume of heart.
Pulmonary HTN fix
By relaxing the heart; give them vasodilators
Contractility
Force of the heart to eject or pump
Left ventricle
60 cc only eject and 40 cc is left.
E.g. if heart is ejecting only 50%, then heart is failing leading to HF
PPT #34
EF <60
HF
Difficulty of filling/ pumping EF<60
Complications
HTN
CAD slide #7
Comorbidities of HF
smoking/ diabetes/ obesity/ aging = overuse of heart = ventricles enlarge
2 Types of HR
LHF is most common type where ventricles enlarge leading to Pulmonary Edema = congestion in lungs
RHF = Right atrium affected
Lymphatic system edema
Edema in liver
Pt with HTN, Right sided HF, Jugalar vein distention, peropheral edema. Where you see distention in the pt
at 30 degress sit pt. up to see the Jugluar vein distention
HF can be chronic
but can also become acute
HF is
enlarged ventricles
dialated heart chambers
slide#35
Acute decompensated HF (ADHF)
slide # 37
Assess before intervention
Asculate lungs
Exacerbation listen to lungs
Put oxygen on pt
call HCP
