25
Q

in what conditions does PAOP overestimate LVEDP (and by extension LVEDV)

A

impaired LV compliance (ischemia)

mitral valve dz (stenosis or regurg)

L->R shunt
tachycardia
PPV
PEEP
COPD
Pulm htn
non west zone III placement of PAC
26
Q

Thermodilution technique

A

inject fixed volume, 10ml of room temp or iced D5W) into CVP port at end-expiration and measure resulting change in blood temp at distal thermistor

27
Q

CO relationship to area under the curve

A

indirectly proportional

28
Q

what makes CO measurements inaccurate

A

variations in respiration (use avg of 3 measures)

blood clot over thermistor tip: inaccurate temp

shunts: LV + RV outputs unequal, CO invalid

TR: recirculation of thermal signal, CO invalid

computation constants : varies for each OAC

29
Q

If what two things remain constant, SVO2 is indirect indicator of CO

A

O2 sat, VO2+Hg (sat and delivery)

30
Q

how can we measure CO

A

swan or CVP, or blood gas from PA/CVP

31
Q

normal SvO2 value

A

65%

32
Q

What is the most common reason for an elevated mixed venous sat?

A

over wedged or advanced PA cath….. think because it is further into the pulm circulation so higher O2 content.

33
Q

what are the 2 broad things that cause an increase in SVO2

A

hyper oxygenated state or inability to extract oxygen

34
Q

an increased SVO2 is what percentage

A

> 75%

35
Q

high cardiac output (sepsis, burns, L–>R shunt, AV fistulas) causes an increase or decrease in svO2?

A

increase

36
Q

carbon monoxide causes a high or low SVO2

A

high

37
Q

SVO2 varies directly with

A

SaO2, Hg, CO

38
Q

SVO2 varies indirectly with

A

VO2 (consumption)

39
Q

bleeding/shock causes high or low SVO2?

A

low

40
Q

fever, agitation, thyrotoxic, shivering causes high or low SVO2

A

low

41
Q

MI, CHF, hypovolemia causes high or low SVO2

A

low (think decreased CO)

42
Q

hypothermia causes high or low SVO2

A

high (think decreased demand)

43
Q

general anesthesia causes high or low SVO2

A

high (think decreased demand)

44
Q

NMB causes high or low SVO2

A

high (think decreased demand)

45
Q

sepsis causes high or low SVO2

A

high (think high cardiac output)

46
Q

burns causes high or low SVO2

A

high (high cardiac output)

47
Q

left to right shunt causes high or low SVO2

A

high (high cardiac output)

48
Q

in patients with CAD what are the best leads for detecting myocardial ischemia

A

II and V5

49
Q

an under dampened system will ___estimate systolic BP and ___diastolic BP

A

overestimate systolic, underestimate diastolic

50
Q

an over dampened system will not oscillate at all but will settle to baseline slowly, thus ____ systolic and ____ diastolic pressures.

A

underestimating systolic and overestimating diastolic

51
Q

advantage of brachial A-line found by cleveland clinic

A

the elimination of the pressure discrepancy seen with radial a-lines in the immediate post bypass period

52
Q

what two things cause a narrow pulse pressure on the arterial waveform

A

pericardial tamponade and hypovolemia

53
Q

increase in pulse pressure may be a sign of

A

worsening aortic valvular insufficiency or mild hypovolemia

54
Q

a dicrotic notch appearing high on the downslope of the pressure trace suggests ____ vascular resistance

A

high

55
Q

highest rate of pneumothorax is with which approach

A

subclavian

56
Q

what causes most pressure monitoring errors?

A

air within a catheter or transducer

57
Q

T/F ? the radial artery pressure may be significantly lower than the aortic pressure at the completion of CPB and for 5-30 min following CPB

A

true

58
Q

what is the current consensus on benefit of PAC

A

placement may have benefit in high-risk patients, or those with special indications. however, in routine CABG patients, the PAC has little, if any, benefit.

59
Q

T/F: in cardiac surgical patients with ascending aortic atheroma identified by epiaortic scanning, modification of the surgical technique and neuroprotective strategies have been reported to reduce the incidence of neurologic complications from ~60% to 0%

A

true

60
Q

t/f: though low serum calcium may affect myocardial pumping function, admin of ca during potential neural ischemia or repercussion may likely worsen the outcome and should be avoided

A

T
