Shock Flashcards
cardiac output
volume of blood being pumped by the heart per minute
typical cardiac output (adult)
4-6 L/min
shock
systemic abnormal cellular metabolism occurring when tissue oxygenation does not meet the needs to maintain cellular functionSUPPLY != DEMAND
what is systole?
atrial fillingventricular emptying
what is diastole?
atrial emptyingventricular filling
ischemia
insufficient flow of oxygenated blood
hypoxia
reduction of O2 supply to tissues
cyanosis
visual sign of ischemia, which can be due to hypoxia
results of decreased CO
- anaerobic metabolism- necrosis
anaerobic metabolism involves…
- altered ATP production - lactic acid production- pH alterations- Na/K pump failure (cellular edema, electrolyte imbalance)i
cardiac output equation
heart rate x stroke volume
typical heart rate
60 - 100 bpm
effect of tachycardia on CO
increases TO A POINT- CAN make the heart beat more often, CAN’T make it contract faster
effect of bradycardia on CO
decreases
stroke volume
amount of blood ejected by LV in each contraction- affected by HR, preload, afterload, contractility
typical amount of blood ejected by LV each contraction
55 - 100 ml range70 ml typical finding
typical cardiac output
4 to 8 liters per minute
cardiac index + typical
cardiac output requirements accounting for body size; determined by dividing the cardiac output by the body surface area2.7 - 3.2 L/m^2
preload
volume- degree of muscle fiber stretch within ventricles prior to systole (recoil)- caused by volume of blood within the ventricle
right ventricle preload
central venous pressure (CVP) 2-8 mm Hg
how to determine preload? right ventricle
direct: central line (NOT PICC)indirect: echo
left ventricle preload
left ventricle end diastolic pressure (LVEDP)/pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) 8-12 mm Hg
how to determine preload? left ventricle
direct: left atrial lineindirect: pulmonary artery catheter (Swan Ganz catheter), echo
Swan Ganz catheter
pulmonary artery catheter
Starlings Law
an increase in ventricular volume increases muscle fiber length and tension, thereby enhancing contraction and improving stroke volumeTO A POINT
