Powerpoint Boards Qs Flashcards
Normal gradient for venous drainage
30-40mmHg
Gold standard for occlusion
Hold line 30cm above pump and should drop at 1cm per minute
What venous cannulation is considered total bypass?
Bicaval cannulation: SVC and IVC
Ultimate limit to venous drainage
Amount of blood returning from great veins from the body
Negative pressure you can not exceed when using VAVD
-60 to -100mmHg
What factor has the biggest effect of oxygen movement into blood?
Surface area: greater surface area equals greater rate of diffusion
What factor has the biggest affect on CO2 diffusion out of blood?
Volume: more volume equals greater diffusion
Does turbulence increase or decrease oxygenation?
Increase
How is albumin sterilized?
Cold filtered
Values for isotonic solutions
~285-295 mOsm/L
Only proven intervention to pacify (wet) tubing
Albumin
Optimal urine output on pump
0.5-1cc/kg/hr
Factor with greater resistance to oxygen diffusion from alveoli to hemoglobin
Alveolar/capillary membranes
Factor with greatest resistance to diffusion from RBC to alveoli
Chemical reaction inside cell
Gold standard test for HIT antibody diagnosis
C-SRA (serotonin release assay)
