Highest BP 150/70 150-70= 80 (max)
Lowest BP 120/60 120-60= 60 (min)

80-60 = 20

58
Q

Dicrotic notch

A

ventricle pressure decreases below pressure in pulmonary/ aortic artery and blood flows back toward the heart

59
Q

PA Cath Right atrium waveform

A

very similar to cvp wave

‘a’ increased pressure inbound R atrium r/t atrial contraction

‘c’ blood in ventricle, tricuspid valve closes, pressure in ventricle increases

‘x’ atrium relaxes

‘v’ ventricle contracts, ejects blood to semilunar valves, venous filling of atrium

‘y’ ventricle relaxes, decreased pressure, tricuspid valve opens and blood flows from atrium

60
Q

PA Cath Right Ventricle waveform

A

waveform uses 1-6

  1. sharp rise in R. Ventricle pressure related to isovolumetric contraction, pressure continues to increase until it is greater than the PA pressure
  2. blood is ejected from ventricle to pulmonary artery
  3. sharp decrease in pressure once blood leaves
  4. ventricle pressure continues to decrease as the ventricle relaxes and pressure is now < R. atrium pressure
  5. tricuspid valve opens and blood passively flows from atrium to ventricle
  6. atrial contraction
61
Q

PA Cath Pulmonary Artery Pressure

A

very similar to A-line
happens with T wave
normal PAP 15-30/ 5-15 mmHg
MPAP 9-20 mmHg

pulmonary artery systolic elevation of wave causes by R ventricle contraction and ejection of blood to the pulmonary valve

as the blood is ejected and the pressure in the Right ventricle drops below the pressure in the Pulmonary artery the pulmonary valve closes

This causes a momentary increase in pulmonary artery pressure PAP (DICROTIC NOTCH)

62
Q

PCWP waveform

A

same as right atrium wave but waveform less distinct and delayed

supposed to depict L side of heart

‘a’ Left atrial contraction

‘c’ rise in Left ventricle pressure

‘v’ blood enters Left atrium during sytole

more prominent ‘v’ wave is mitral valve insufficiency and blood flowing back into the atrium
