Swan-Ganz is also called | flow-directed balloon tip catheter |
pulmonary artery catheter enables medical practitioners to | acquire important hemodynamic info about the cardiovascular system as well as function of the right and left ventricles. |
Indications for Swan-Ganz catheter | -Measure cardiac output via thermodilution technique -measure hemodynamic parameters associated with central venous pressure and ventricular function -acquire blood samples for mixed-venous analysis |
Swan-Ganz catheter is approximately how long? | 110cm or 28in |
Swan-Ganz consists of | -electronic thermistor cable to attach cardiac output monitor -balloon(or cuff) on distal end to inflate and acquire pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) -Ports or openings in the catheter |
Thermistor | temperature sensor imbedded near the tip of the catheter |
Balloon or cuff | distal end to inflate and acquire the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) |
Distal port | tip of catheter to measure pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery pressure and draw blood for analysis |
Proximal port placed where? | about 30cm from tip of catheter |
Proximal port measures what? | right atrial pressure or CVP and for injection of iced saline to assess the cardiac output via thermodilution technique. |
Insertion site flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter (Swan-Ganz) | internal jugular or subclavian veins |
What technique is used to place catheter? | sterile technique |
Where should the Pulmonary artery catheter tip enter during insertion? | large vein, into vessels until catheter tip enters the right side of the heart. |
What happens after entry to the right side of the heart with the pulmonary artery catheter? | Balloon is inflated |
How much air is used to inflate balloon on pulmonary artery catheter? | .8 to 1.5 depending on size of catheter |
After balloon inflation what does the catheter do? | floats through the right atrium and right ventricle and into pulmonary artery |
What does pressure waveforms note during insertion? | indicate position of the catheter |
Right atrial pressure (RAP) is the same as | Central venous pressure (CVP) |
Right atrial pressure is measured with | Swan-Ganz catheter in place at the proximal port which lies in the right atrium |
Normal Diastolic RAP/CVP | 2-6 mmHg |
Increase or decrease in RAP is most indicative of patients | volume status |
Normal Systolic RVP pressure | 15-30 mmHg same as systolic PAP |
Where does diastolic pressure read and what does it indicate? | Reads in right ventricle and indicates right ventricular preload or right ventricular end diastolic pressure (RVEDP) |
Distention of RVP compared to RAP | RVP will have taller upstrokes reflecting higher pressure in ventricle. |
Increased RVP may indicate | Decreased RV function ( increased preload; decreased RV ejection fraction) or hypervolemia |
Decreased RVP indicates | hypovolemia |
Ventricular preload or end-diastolic pressure | pressure in ventricle prior to contraction, during resting and filling stage. |
Higher preload is | more blood in ventricle |
Higher preload indicates one or two things: | -Decreased ventricular function ( |
Pulmonary artery pressure reflects | RV peak systolic pressure |
Where is the dicrotic notch located? | downslope of the PAP waveform |
What does dicrotic notch indicate? | closure of pulmonic valve |
Normal pulmonary artery pressure (PAP): (MPAP) | 9-18 mmHg |
Normal pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) systolic | 15-30 mmHg |
Normal PAP diastolic | 8-15 mmHg |
Decreased PAP | with hypovolemia or dehydration |
Increased PAP | with hypervolemia, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, pulmonary embolus, and left ventricular failure (increased pulmonary venous pressure) |
Where is the pulmonary capillary wedge obtained from (PCWP)? | distal port of catheter with balloon inflated or wedged in place |
What does the PCWP measure? | "Down-stream" preload or filling pressure of left side of the heart. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) |
PCWP balloon should not be inflated more than | 15 sec during measurement to prevent pulmonary infarction |
Normal PCWP or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure is | 6-12 mm Hg |
PCWP sometimes referred to | pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) but not common. |
PCWP measurement used to | assess preload in left side of heart |
Increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) or preload | indicates decreased contractility of the left ventricle or fluid overload |
PCWP in non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema | fairly normal |
PCWP in cardiogenic pulmonary edema | will be elevated |
PCWP Increased | -decreased left ventricular function -hypervolemia/ fluid overload -mitral valve stenosis |
PCWP decreased | - systemic vasodilation -sepsis -hypovolemia |
Cardiogenic shock | inability of the heart to pump blood adequately due to loss of contractility |
Cardiogenic shock results of major | Myocardial infarction that destroys heart tissue or left ventricular hyper |
Diminished left ventricular function characterized by | low cardiac output/ cardiac index, elevated PAP and PCWP, increased SVR (systemic vascular resistance) |
SVR formula | map-cvp/ QT x80 |
PVR formula | mpap-pcwp/ QT x 80 |
MPAP normal | 10-20 mm Hg |
MAP formula | systolic PAP + 2(diastolic) /3 |
Normal PVR | 110-250 dynes/sec |
systole | contraction phase of cardiac cycle. |
Diastole | resting/ filling phase of cardiac cycle. |
Mean arterial pressure | pressure propelling blood from LV to RA. |
Mean arterial pressure related to | overall adequacy of tissue perfusion. |
Frank Stallings law | greater preload, greater force of contraction, to the point where ventricular failure occurs. |
preload | prior to contraction |
Preload assessed by | measuring ventricular end-diastolic pressure |
Mean arterial pressure normal | 70-105 mmHg |
Stroke volume influences blood pressure by: | hypervolemia and hypovolemia |
Arterial compliance influences blood pressure by: | arteriosclerosis |
Arterial resistance influences blood pressure by: | Vasoconstriction, atherosclerosis, increased blood viscosity (increased hematocrit) |
Pulse pressure | difference between systolic and diastolic pressure |
Influences on pulse pressure | Widening (increasing) pulse pressure which indicates stroke volume or cardiac output. Narrowing (decreasing) pulse pressure which indicates decreasing stroke volume or cardiac output. |
Contractility | inotropic state of myocardium or velocity of myo fiber shortening during systole. STRENGTH |
Decreased myocardial contractility results to: | reduction in stroke volume and cardiac output leads to decrease perfusion and diminished oxygen delivery to tissues. |
stroke volume | blood ejected during single ventricular contraction |
Stroke volume formula | QT/HR x 1000 |
normal stroke volume | 60-130 mL/ beats |
cardiac out put (QT) | amount of blood ejected from heart in one min |
Ejection fraction | percentage of blood pumped from ventricle during single contraction |
left ventricular ejection fraction | 60-70% healthy, reduced with decreased contractility or valvular disease |
End diastolic volume | after systole, blood remaining in ventricle |
EF formula | SV/EDV |
low EF | reaches about 50% |
EF treatment | inotropic agents |
EF decreased when | contractility of heart is impaired |
oxygen delivery (DO2) | amount of O2 delivered to tissues each mi, primary function of cardiovascular system. |
Delivery of O2 dependent among | blood flow(QT) and O2 content in arterial blood (CaO2). |
amount of O2 delivered to tissues in a min | 1000 mL |
O2 consumption (VO2) in a min | 250 mL/min |
reserve of O2 | 750 mL |
O2 content | content or total amount of O2 carried in the blood |
Normal arterial O2 content (CaO2) | 18-20 mL/dl |
normal venous O2 content (CVO2) | 14-16 ml/dl |
O2 content takes into play with | hemoglobin and O2 stat. |
CaO2 formula: | (Hb X 1.34 X SaO2) + (PaO2 X .003) |
CVO2 formula : | (Hb X 1.34X SvO2) + ( PvO2 X .003) |
one gram of hemoglobin combine with O2 is | 1.34 |
O2 dissolved in every dl of plasma is | .003 mL |
difference in venous and arterial O2 content | arteriovenous O2 content difference C(a-v) O2 |
Normal arteriovenous O2 content difference | 3.5-5 ml/dl |
Increase in arteriovenous O2 content difference indicates | decreased Qt |
greater blood flow | less O2 removed in blood and smaller C(a-v) O2 |
smaller the difference equals | greater Qt |
VO2= | [C(a-v) O2 X 10] x Qt |
Fick equation: | Qt= VO2/ CaO2 - CvO2 x 10 |
