HEMODYNAMICS Flashcards
1
Q
poiseuille equation
A
- relationship of flow, pressure and resistance
- single vessel, organ
2
Q
poiseuille equation
A
- flow= to pressure gradient/resistance
- P1 upstream pressure
- P2 pressure at the end of segment/circuit
- R resistance of vessel bet. P1 and P2
3
Q
resistance is inverse to
A
- flow
- radius
4
Q
the most important factor determining resistance of a vessel
A
- vessel radius
5
Q
resistance is proportional ….
to but inversely proportional to flow
A
- viscosity
- polycythemia vera (increase viscosity and resistance, decrease flow leading to thrombosis)
- anemia (decrease viscosity and resistance, increase flow hyper dynamic flow fast rush of blood bruit)
6
Q
50% occlusion of the left anterior descending artery
A
- 16x decrease in flow (r4)
7
Q
polycythemia vera
A
increase viscosity and resistance,
decrease flow leading to thrombosis
an increase in hematocrit, increase in viscosity
8
Q
turbulent flow
A
- murmurs
- bruits
- severe stenosis
- more resistance
- > 2000 flow
9
Q
laminar flow
A
- least resistance
- good flow
- ## away from the wall towards the vessel
10
Q
reynolds number
A
- diameter x velocity x density/ viscosity
11
Q
resistance
A
series
parallel
12
Q
series
A
- flow is dependent flow must be equal at all points
- resistance to the total series is equal to the sum of individual system
- equal flow
- Rt > Ri
- with in organs
13
Q
parallel
A
- flow is independent to each other
- flow is not equal
- Rt
14
Q
the total resistance(Rt) is always
A
- less than any of the individual resistance (Ri)
15
Q
organ donor (Kidney) parallel
A
- as we add total becomes less
- subtract resistances the total resistance increase
- increase resistance
- flow is decrease
- CO decrease to compensate for increase BP
- HR decrease to decrease BP
- bradycardia normal for donor
- wt gain
- increase TPR, MAP
