Q

When do you want to place A-line on RIGHT side only??

A
  • thoracic aneurysm
  • mediastinoscopy
  • in Open heart if left internal mammary is harvested for bypass.
20
Q

6 factors that can contribute to A-line thrombosis

A 
1- prolonged duration 
2- catheter size (18G vs 20G)
3- catheter material (Teflon less thrombogenic) 
4- proximal emboli
5- prolonged shock 
6- pre existing vascular disease
21
Q

what is the most commonly used PA catheter size

A

7 french

22
Q

what is the balloon capacity of a #5 PAC

A

1.5cc

23
Q

Diastole

A

opening of tricuspid and bicuspid valves

24
Q

Systole

A

closing of tri and bicuspid valves

25
Q

Right ventricular waveform

A
  • observed only at the passage of a PAC
  • often accompanied by ectopy
  • RVEDP measured at R wave
  • normal RV pressure = 15-30/0-8 torr***
26
Q

LV waveform

A

seen during left heart cath
normal LV pressure 100-140/0-12 torr***
LVEDP measured at R wave

27
Q

PA waveform

A
  • normal 15-30/4-12 torr

- PAD in normal pts can be used as alternative to PAOP to estimate LVEDP

28
Q

Systemic arterial waveform (a-line) waveform

A

morphology similar to PA waveform

dicrotic notch due to Aortic valve closing

29
Q

Atrial pressure waveform analysis: 5 components, 3 waves

A
  • A wave: atrial contraction
  • C wave: closure of tricuspid valve and isovolumetric contraction
  • V wave: venous filling in atria
30
Q

Normal RAP

A

1-8 torr

31
Q

3 causes of increased CVP

A

1- pulmonary HTN
2- right heart failure
3- left heart failure

32
Q

cause of decreased CVP

A

hypovolemia

33
Q

EARLY clinical signs of increased CVP

A
  • distended peripheral veins
  • increased right sided filling pressures
  • increased HR
  • bounding pulses
34
Q

LATE signs of increased CVP

A
  • systemic edema
  • decreased pulmonary compliance
  • S3 gallop
35
Q

PAOP - normal LAP____

PAOP _____

A

2-12 torr LAP

5-15 torr PAOP

36
Q

Cardiac output

A

SV x HR

37
Q

CO thermodilution

A

the change in temp of blood is inversely proportional to blood flow
- if erroneously low volume of injectate will have false high CO

38
Q

CO- regurgitation of tricuspid or pulmonic valve or septal defect may lead to….

A

falsely high TD CO readings

39
Q

_____ can cause interference with TD CO

A

electrocautery

40
Q

CO accuracy can be increased by…

A

1- averaging at least 3 measurements
2- measure at end inspiration or expiration
3- injecting identical volume and rate of NS

41
Q

Cardiac index

A

CO/BSA (m2)

normal - 2.5- 4.0L/min/m2

42
Q

SVI

A

SV/BSA

normal = 40-60

43
Q

normal SV for 70kg male

A

60-90ml

44
Q

EF

A

SV/EDV
normal 55-75%
EF <40 = LV failure

45
Q

PAOP > LVEDP

A
  • mitral stenosis
  • left atrial myxoma (tumor)
  • pulm venous obstruction
  • elevated alveolar pressure
46
Q

PAOP <LVEDP

A
  • decreased LV compliance

- aortic insufficiency
