Hemodynamics Flashcards
What is the cardiac index goal?
> 2.2 L/min/m2
What is the ejection fraction goal?
> 40%
What is the CVP goal?
8 - 12 mmHg
What is the SVR goal?
800-1200
What is the SvO2 goal?
> 65%
What is the calculation for blood pressure?
BP = CO x SVR
What is the calculation for MAP?
MAP = (2DBP + SBP) / 3
What is the calculation for cardiac output?
CO = HR x SV
What is cardiac output?
The amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle within one minute
Avg is 4 - 8 liters/minute
What is the cardiac index? What is the calculation?
It is the cardiac output adjusted for body surface area.
CI = CO/BSA
What are the effects of IV fluids?
IV fluids -> increase preload -> increase SV -> increase CO -> increase BP
What are the effects of inotropes?
Inotropes -> increase contractility -> increase SV -> increase CO -> increase BP
Starlings Law states…
That the greater the stretch, the more forceful the contractility.
What are the effects of vasopressors?
Vasopressors -> increase stroke volume -> increase CO -> increase BP
What are common drugs that cause phlebitis and extravasation?
Potassium, calcium, amiodarone, norepinephrine
