Q

what is preload?

A

volume/pressure in the ventricle at the end of diastole after the AV valves close, just prior to ejection. The RA pressure or CVP reflects the right ventricular preload. PAOP reflects the LV preload;

Q

As preload increases, what happens to SV and CO?

A

SV and CO increase up to a point. too high preload may lead to heart failure

Q

what is afterload?

A

pressure (resistance) against which the ventricle must pump to open the valve (pulmonic/aortic); clinically measured by pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) for the right ventricle or systemic vascular resistance (SVR) for the LV

Q

what increases preload?

A
  • volume expanders (crystalloids, colloids)

- pressors

17
Q

what decreases preload?

A
  • diuretics
  • dilators: nitrates, nitroprusside, nesiritide
  • morphine
18
Q

what increases after load?

A
  • norepi
  • phenylephrine
  • high dose dopamine
  • epi drip
19
Q

what decreases after load?

A
  • nitroprusside
  • ACEI
  • hydralazine
  • CCBs
  • IABP
  • nitro high dose
20
Q

what increases contractility?

A
  • positive inotropes: dobutamine, dopamine 5-10mcg/kg/min, primacor, epi drip
21
Q

what decreases contractility?

A
  • negative inotopes: BBs, CCBs

- metabolic problems (metabolic acidosis, endotoxins of sepsis)

22
Q

what is the most sensitive indicator of cellular oxygenation?

A

mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)

normal: 60-75%

23
Q

what is used to monitor therapy for septic shock?

A

central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)

normal: >70%

24
Q

what will cause a decrease in oxygen delivery (DO2)?

A

pump problems

25
Q

oxygen consumption (VO2) is low with what?

A

septic shock

26
Q

oxygen extraction increases with a drop in what?

A

CO

normal: ~50% of O2 delivery

27
Q

what increases SvO2?

A
  • septic shock
  • hypothermia
  • paralysis
28
Q

what should you assess for if SvO2 is increased?

A
  • severe sepsis, septic shock

- hypothermia

29
Q

what decreases SvO2?

A
  • low CO
  • decreased PaO2
  • increased O2 demand (fever, shivering, sz, increased WOB)
30
Q

what should you assess for if SvO2 is deceased?

A
  • hypoxemia, increased WOB
  • hypoTN
  • hypovolemia
  • hemoglobin drop
  • fever
  • arrhythmias
31
Q

how does the PAOP waveform change when mitral valve insufficiency (regurgitation) is present?

A

giant V waves

32
Q

what is the dynamic response test/square wave test?

A

assess the accuracy or the hemodynamic monitoring system

33
Q

what is an over damped wave response?

A
  • results in a falsely decreased systolic pressure and false high diastolic pressure as well as poorly defined components of the pressure tracing such as diminished or absent dicrotic notch
  • may be due to air or blood clot in system, loose connections, loss of air in the pressure bag, or kinking of the catheter/tubing system
34
Q

what is an underdamped wave response?

A
  • results in false high systolic pressures (overshoot), possibly false low diastolic pressures, and “ringing” artifacts on the waveform
  • may be due to pinpoint air bubbles in the system, add-on tubing, or defective transducer
