hypotension def Flashcards
hepatic failure &
low peripheral resistance= vasodilation/
pathophys + consequence in VS
advanced liver dz=>
1) hepatic hypertension
2) systemic & splanchic vasodilation Thxt NO
3) incr CO==bounding pulse
pulse pressure/ narrow PP/
def
systolic &diastolic pressure readings
120/80 mm Hg => pulse pressure is 40
BNP
/def
/ use
=>Brain Natriuretic Peptide =BNP
=>made by heart & shows how well heart is working /
ex: HF =>heart releases +++ BNP
hint:
Atrial natriuretic peptide =(ANP)
**rocky mountain spotted fever
revoir mindmap
cardiac surgery & acute tamponade/
pathogenesis (4)
following
traumatic injury,
rupture of the heart or aorta,
or an invasive dx
or therapeutic procedure
hypotension/pulsus paradoxus
/definition
/why is there a paradox?
=>an exaggerated decr in BP w the nl inspiration
=>nly during inspiration u have ++ blood coming in the R heart => DECR in BP in the left heart
hint: decr should be <10mmHG
**free wall rupture/
often occ…
post myocardial infarction (AMI),
blunt & penetrating cardiac trauma
hint:
ur fault vs not ur fault
pulsus paradoxus/
how to measure
listen to SBP during inspiration and expiration;
substract diff/ difference > 10 mm Hg suggests cardiac tamponade
hypotension/cardiac tamponade suspected
/which imaging test to perform?
transthoracic echocardiography
htn/shock definition
evidence of multisystem organ hypoperfusion
htn/shock/ types of..aka etiologies
- pump pb= cardiogenic;
- conduit pb= distributive= low peripheral R usually due to sepsis:
- fluid pb= hypovolemic
htn/SIRS/def
systemic inflammatory response syndrome
*s3 sound/
etiology/
occ when
flowing blood against a distended or incompliant ventricle
in mid diastole
hint: 3 womb= distended + non compliant belly
rocky Mountain spotted fever./other name
Rickettsia
