RCIS Review Flashcards
ICE procedure
Intra Cardiac Ultrasound
Your using ICE (Intra Cardiac Echo) picture looks like TENT

7.35 - 7.45
Normal range Bicarb (Metabolic)
22 - 26
Normal range CO2 (Respiratory)
35 - 45

Alkali
IABP balloon inflates from
Bottom to top (to perfuse coronary arteries)
IABP balloon deflates from
Top to Bottom (pulls blood and increases stroke volume)
Diacrotic notch on IABP strip means
Aortic Valve closing
IABP Transducer should be level with __________when zeroing
Apex of heart (flevostatic line)
When HR increases over 150bpm IABP should be turned to
1:2 Ratio
IABP strip should be printed in what ratio?
1:2 ratio
What will happen to stroke volume and cardiac output in constrictive pericarditis
They will decrease
In Cardiac Tamponade, Venous pressures
Rise and Arterial pressures Fall
__________ increases to compensate for constrictive disease which impede filling.
Preload
Protection from radiation will be maximized by 1.
2.
3.
- Maximize distance to source (6ft)
- Minimize time near source
- Placing absorbing material between
Yourself and patient
A fall in pressure from right ventricle to the pulmonary artery
Tetralogy of Fallot
An Aortic pressure recording with a gradual upstroke and a prominent low anacrotic notch is indicative of
Aortic Stenosis
A left ventricular mass is determined angiographically from measuring the heart wall thickness during what stage of the cardiac cycle?
End-Diastole
The BEST indicator of the exact moment the aortic and pulmonary valves open
Beginning of systolic rise on the atrial pressure
Overdrive suppression of Torsade de Pointes and atrial flutter works by pacing the heart according to which protocol?
10-40 beats/minute faster than the intrinsic heart rate
Cardiac myxomas are usually located in the
Left Atrium
Caused by rapid accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac
Atrioventricular gradient
This will markedly elevate right ventricular systolic pressure
Infundibular stenosis
On ECG, the following may indicate a loose connection of a temporary pacing wire at the pulse generator spikes
Falling at irregular intervals
If T-wave sensing occurs in ventricle demand or synchronous pacing, what must be done to the programmable generator?
Longer refractory period
