Physiology I Final lab.csv Flashcards
What does S1 represent?
closure of the AV valve
What does S2 represent?
closure of the semi-lunar valves
When does S1 begin?
at onset of ventricular systole
What combined noises do you hear?
mitral (bicuspid) and tricuspid valves. Lub
When does S2 begin?
onset of ventricular diastole.
What combined noises do you hear?
aortic and pulmonary semilunar outflow valves. сdubо
What is S3?
sometimes heard during ventricular filling
What is S4?
sometimes heard during atrial ejection
Where will loudest sounds be heard? (anatomical placement)
between intercostal spaces
Where is the aortic valve best heard?
in 2nd intercostal space to the immediate right of sternum
Where is pulmonary valve best heard?
2nd intercostal space to the immediate left of sternum
Where is the tricuspid valve best heard?
5th intercostal space to immediate left of sternum. (sometimes heard best immediate right of sternum)
Where is the mitral valve best heard?
5th intercostal space on mid-clavicular line
What patient position might assist in hearing S1 and mitral valve better?
flex forward and to left while twisting a bit to the right
What is the logical sweep pattern for ausultating?
start with aortic ? pulmonary ? tricuspid ? mitral. APTM
Which side of the patient should you position yourself?
to the patients left (not between their legs!!!)
What does the cardiac cycle represent?
a display of all the mechanical, hemodynamic, acoustical and electrical events that occur in the heart during one beat.
What are the 5 composite-assembled tracings?
aortic pressure, ventricular pressure, ventricular volume, atrial pressure, phonocardiogram, ecg
What is the most critical aspect in understanding the cardiac cycle?
relative timing of events
What 4 sources did we gather information from during lab?
ECG, phonocardiogram, peripheral pulse, and stroke volume.
What must happen to the heart before the left and right ventricle can contract and eject blood?
heart must first be depolarized (or electrically excited)
What does the QRS complex represent?
ventricular depolarization
What 3 ways can you dtermine HR (w/out using biopac)?
1) measure the distance in time b/t any successive R waves, by counting boxes (each box =0.04 sec) then divide that number into 60. 2) find R wave that falls on a line on the grid.. count over 4 seconds (25 small boxes).. then count number of beats in that segment. Then multiply by 15. 3) Find R wave and count larger boxes (0.2 sec) until next R wave. With each line count down 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50 etc..
What is the first method dependent on?
finding a representitive beat
What makes #2 method reliable?
the longer the period of time considered the better the value.
Which heart sound is recorded on the phonocardiogram?
first heart sound (S1) and second heart sound (S2).
What makes S1 difficult to see/Hear?
S4 because it runs into S1.
What might a rapid heart rate cause to happen?
S1 run into S2.
Which sound is stronger? S1 or S2?
S1
What does the time between the onset of the QRS complex and S1 represent?
Lag between excitation and mechanical action
How long does it last?
About 0.04 seconds.
What is well underway when ventricular excitation is happening?
S1
How do you measure VCT?
S2-S1 = VCT
