High and Low Reading Reasons for Hemodynamic Data Flashcards
1
Q
Low CVP/RAP
A
- Hypovolemia
- Vasodilation
2
Q
High CVP/RAP
A
- Hypervolemia
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Pulmonary Embolism
- Right ventricular failure
- Left heart failure
- Tricuspid valve stenosis
- PPV
- Severe flail chest
3
Q
Low PCWP
A
- Hypovolemia
- MAYBE pulmonary embolism
4
Q
High PCWP
A
- Systemic hypertension
- aortic/mitral valve stenosis
- cardiac tamponade
- left ventricular failure
- Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Impedance of forward flow
5
Q
Low PAP
A
- Pulmonary vasodilation
- Hypovolemia
6
Q
High PAP
A
- Pulmonary hypertension (vasoconstriction)
- Mitral valve stenosis
- LV failure
- Hypervolemia
- PPV
7
Q
Shunt
A
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary edema
- Pneumothorax
- Atelectasis
8
Q
Low Cardiac Index
A
- Drugs causing a decrease contractility
- Hypovolemia
- CHF
- Increase systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance
- MI
- Septic Shock
- PPV
9
Q
High Cardiac Index
A
- Drugs that increase contractility
- Hypervolemia
- Decreased systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance
- Early stage of Septic Shock
