Monitoring Flashcards
standard monitors
VOTC:
ventilation, oxygenation, temperature, circulation
cardiac surgery monitors in addition to standard
invasive BP, CVP, TEE, UOP, ABGs, neuromonitoring
Preload
- tension on LV wall after diastole
- LVEDP indirectly
- increased preload=increased SV
- determined by intravascular volume (determined by total body sodium-controlled by aldosterone), venous tone, and ventricular compliance
Contractility
- -hearts ability to generate force
- chemical event from intracellular calcium
afterload
- Tension on LV when aortic valve opens
- indirectly measured by SVR
- increased SVR=increased afterload and decreased SV
Arterial pressure monitoring
-ideal location
which artery?
US?
ideal location is acending aorta
-most common: radial (ulnar nerve supplies 90% of flow)
*US as rescue tecnique
reasons for arterial line
- major surgery with blood loss or fluid shifts
- CP bypass
- Aortic surgery
- need ABGs
- shock
- recent MI
- permissive hypotension
- hypotehtermic procedures
- trauma
- inotropic support
arterial line contraindications
- local infections
- coagulopathy
- vasooclusive disease (raynauds)
- harvesting sites
arterial line complications
- infection (most common with femoral)
- hematoma
- spasm
- thrombosis (long catheters for a long time)
- ischemia
Arterial line waveform
- systolic bp=peak
- diastolic=trough
- pulse pressure= peak-trough
- contractility= upstroke
- stroke volume= area under curve
- closure of aortic valve=dicrotic notch
CVP why to do it
- major surgery with fluid shifts and blood loss
- massive trauma
- ionotropic support
- electrolyte or metabolic conditions requiring frequent sampling
- TPN
- high risk air embolism
CVP contraindications
- SVC syndrome
- coagulopathy (relative)
- new pacer/aicd
- surgical site access
CVP waveforms
a wave=contraction of RA
c wave= closure of tricuspid (RV contraction)
v wave= passive filling of RA, ventricular systole
x decent-atrial diastole
y decent= opening of tricuspid
CVP waveforms and cardiac cycle
A wave= RA contraction (just after P wave)
C wave= RV contraction (bulging of tricuspid into RA) (Just after QRS)
x decent= RA relaxation (ST segment)
V wave= passive filling of RA (just after T wave-ventricular repolarization)
Y descent= RA empties through open tricuspid (after t wave)
Normal CVP
elevations due to?
1-10 mean=5 elevations due to: RV disease pulm HTn pulmonic stenosis TV disease (TR= tall v waves) tamponade restrictive cardiomyopathies hypervolemia
CVP insertion sites
- IJ- short, straight course
just under medial border of SCM (carotid is deeper and more medial)
*use ultrasound - EJ- valves, more difficult
3.SC- increased risk of pneumothorax, tamponade, aortic injury - basilic/cephalic- migrates with arm movement
- femoral- easiest (no US) higher infection rates
CVP complications
- infection
- hemorrhage (lungs deflated when inserting)
- VAE
- thrombosis
- nerve injury
- thoracic duct puncture
PA catheter indications,
measures directly and indirectly
*obtain hemodynamic parameters and check O2 delivery and demand
DIRECTLY:
CVP/RAP, RVP, PAP, PAOP, CO, mixed SvO2
INDIRECTLY:
SVR, PVR, CI, SVI, LVSWI, RVSWI, DO2, VO2
PA catheter contraindications
- severe tricuspid or pulmonic disease
- RA or RV mass
- tetralogy of fallot
- arrythmias
- LBBB
- new pacer wires (6 weeks)
- severe coagulopathy
PA catheter complications
- complete heart block
- endobronical hemorrhage
- pulm infarct
- catheter knotting
- valve damage
- thrombocytopenia
- thrombus
PA catheter indications
- pulmonary HTN
- cardiogenic shock
- mixed shock
- tamponade
- transplant
- mechanical complication of stemi (RV infarct, papillary muscle rupture, septal rupture)
*innapropriate (use non invasive): high risk surgery, septic shcok, heart failure, ARDS
PVR and SVR
-PVR= estimate of RV afterload. elevated in pulm htn
normal= 150-250
SVR= estimate of LV afterload. increased in LV wall stress
determinant of O2 consumption
normal=900-1400
distance to the junction of vena cava and ra from: subclavian RIJ LIJ femoral right median basilic left median basilic
subclavian: 10cm RIJ: 15cm LIJ: 20cm femoral: 40cm right median basilic: 40cm Left median basilic: 50cm
distance from RIJ to distal structures: Cavoatrial junction RA RV PA wedge
cavoatrial junction: 15 RA: 25-35 RV: 35-45 PA: 45-55 wedge: 50-60
Goal placement of PAC and details about zone
west lung zone III. bulk of pulmonary blood flow is in this region. provides most accurate estimate of LVEDP
zone III: arterial pressure >venous pressure>alveolus pressure
- *it is the DEPENDENT region of lungs
- base when sitting
- towards back when supine
- towards chest when prone
- towards dependent lung in lateral
*tip in zone I or II –> variations in PAOP, lost a and v waves, PAOP>PADP
