Q

How we treat loss of fluid in the body system?

A

Decreasing the amount of fliud in the system wil decrease blood pressure, this issue can be fixed by adding fluids or blood products.

Q

What is important about transducer ubication level?

A

The transducer must remain at the heart level, otherwise bloode pressure may not be accurate.

  • If above heart level, arterial pressure will ↓
  • If bellow heart level, arterial pressure will ↑
20
Q

This is called?

A

3 wat stopcock

21
Q

Indication for Arterial Blood Pressure Line?

A

◼ Indicated for continuous pressure measurement of critically ill patients with extremes of blood pressure requiring aggressive resuscitation efforts or titration of potent vasoactive agents

22
Q

What is the normal Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure?

A
  • Systolic: 90 - 140 mm Hg
  • Diastolic: 60 - 90 mm Hg
23
Q

When does start the ejection time on the wave form?

A

At the beginning of the constraction until the end of the constraction (nicrotic notch)

24
Q

CVP can be measured by:

A
  • Single lumen catheter
  • multiple lumen catheter

all on the SVC

25
Q

What condiction may elevate CVP?

A
  • Volume overload
  • Impaired right ventricular contractile function
  • Pulmonary hypertension
  • Right ventricular infarction
  • Pulmonic stenosis
  • Tricuspid valvular disease
  • Left-to-right shunts
26
Q

Pulmonary Artery Catheter are also called?

A

Swan-ganz catheter

27
Q

Pulmonary catheter is usually inserted on:

A

Internal Jugular Vein or Left subclavian vein

28
Q

How many port does PA catheter have?

A

4 ports:

  • Pressure measurements
  • Thermodilution injections
  • Cardiac output measurement
  • Medication infusions
29
Q

What pressure does PA measures?

A
  • Right atrium (2 - 6 mm Hg)
  • Right ventricle (25/0)
  • Pulmonary artery (25/8)
  • Left Atrium by PAOP (4 - 12 mm Hg)
30
Q

Pulmonary Artery Catheter or Pulmonary Artery Oclusion Pressure, meassures what pressure?

A

It is inserted on the right side of the heart, but it acually meassure the left side of the heart (Left Atrium)

31
Q

What pressure will affect the improper functioning of the left ventricle (left ventricular failure)?

A
  • PCWP will ↑
  • PAP will ↑
  • CVP may be affected on severe cases
  • CO will be decreased < 4L/min
  • Systemic Pressure ↓, < 90/60

(This is because left Ventricle is not able to pump blood to the body system normally any more, producing a back flow, increasing in pressure)

32
Q

CVP, PAP, PCWP, CO will move in what direction with

  • Left Heart Failure
  • mitral Valve Stenosis
  • CHF
  • High PEEP effects
A
  • CVP = Normal
  • PAP = ↑
  • PCWP = ↑
  • CO = ↓
  • Systemic Pressure = ↓
33
Q

Hypervolemia will affects CVP(2-6), PAP(25/8), PCWP(4-12), CO(4-8) in what direction?

Hypervolemia is a condition in which there is too much fluid in the blood. It is also known as fluid overload.

A
  • CVP = ↑
  • PAP = ↑
  • PCWP = ↑
  • CO = ↑
34
Q

Hypovolemia will affect CVP, PAP, PCWP, CO in what direction?

A
  • CVP = ↓
  • PAP = ↓
  • PCWP = ↓
  • CO = ↓
35
Q

Lung disordder, Pulmonary embolism, Pulmonary hypertension and Air embolism will affect CVP, PAP, PCWP and CO in what direction?

A
  • CVP = ↑
  • PAP = ↑
  • PCWP = N/↓
  • CO = N
36
Q

Pulse pressure is done by doing what formula?

A

Systolic - Diastolic

120 - 80 = 40 pulse

Normal value is 40 mm Hg

37
Q

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) formula

A

2(Diastolic) + Systolic)/ 3

38
Q

Cardiac Output formula

A

SV x HR = CO

normal value 4 - 8 L/min

39
Q

What is Systemic Vascular Resistant (SVR)

A

Is the pressure gradient across the pulmonary circulation divided by CO

SVR = MAP - CVP / CO

normal value < 20 mm Hg/L/min or 1600 dynes/sec/cm-5

  • SVR = 14 - 4 / 6*
  • SVR = 10 / 6*

SVR = 1.6 mm Hg

40
Q

Pulmonary Vascular resistance (PVR) formula

A

PVR = MPAP - PCWP / CO

normal value < 2.5 mm Hg or 200 dynes/sec/ cm -5

41
Q

What increases PVR

A
  • Hypoxemia
  • Pulmonary Hypertension
  • Lung disease
42
Q

CVP catheter is used for:

A
  • Estimate intravascular volume status
  • Intravenous access for medication Infusion
  • Venous Blood sampling
43
Q

PA have 3 to 4 ports used for:

A
  • Pressure measurements
  • Thermodilution injections ( CO measurements)
  • Medication infusions
44
Q

What pressure does PA catheter measure?

A
  • Right atrium (2-6 mm Hg)
  • Right Ventricle (25/0 Systolic/Diastolic)
  • Pulminary Artery (25/8 Systolic/Diastolic)
45
Q

How Left atrial pressure can be determine?

A

By Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP)
