Hemodynamics and Shock Flashcards
Hemodynamic instability
hypotension, change in mental status, and signs of shock
Hypotension
mean arterial pressure (MAP)
Mean Arterial Pressure
MAP
80 – 100 mmHg
MAP =DBP + 1/3 (SBP-DBP)***
Better mesured for t
Need at least 65 in order for your organs to have adequate organ perfusiotn
Cardiac Output
4 – 7 L/min
CO
Cardiac Index (CI)
2.8 – 3.6 L/min/M2
CO/body surface area
–>corrected CO for weight
Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure
a.k.a. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
12-15 mmHg
Measure the pressure of L ventricle at the end of diastole. The heart is filled with the maximum volume of blood. Learn patients volume status.
- indicates preload
- pressure in left ventricle
Systemic Vascular Resistance
SVR
1300 – 2100 dynes-s/cm5
SVR- constriction/dilation of blood vessels
SHOCK
An acute, generalized state of inadequate perfusion of critical organs
- Serious pathophysiological consequences, including death
- USUALLY but not always associated with hypotension (SBP
o Signs of poor/reduced perfusion:
Hypotension • Increased HR and RR • Cold extremities • Mental status change or unconscious • Reduced urine output (worsening renal function)-increase in ScR • Lactic acidosis
Shock: hypovolemic
Low vascular volume
Shock: Distributive
Septic or anaphylactic: vasodilation
Shock: Cardiogenic
poor heart function
• Vasopressors (“vasoconstrictors”)
Route and titrating frequency?
Administered via continuous infusion
Frequent dosing adjustments may be necessary
(titration) every 5-15minutes
Can Vasopressors be used in Central line?
phentolamine (antidote)
YES or else
Tissue necrosis with extravastation:
o To avoid: administer through a central line
o Treat extravasation with intradermal administration of
10-15 ml of saline and** 5-10 mg of phentolamine**
• Phentolamine: blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors causing vasodilation and minimizes necrosis
α1 - Vasoconstriction
α2- Vasoconstriction  β1 - inotropic (contractility) and chronotropic (HR)   β2- vaso-/Brocodilation  DA - Vasodialtion in the kidney, Heart, and GI

-Large DA and B1 activity

Epinephrine
Catecholamines
