Hemodynamics

QuestionAnswer
What is the general definition of shock? -Inadequate perfusion of critical organs -Final pathway leading to CV failure and death -Hypovolemic shock is the leading cause of early death after trauma
What are the most accurate monitoring parameters of blood pressure (SBP vs MAP, numeric targets) when non-invasive or invasive techniques are used? Non-invasive (SBP most accurate) 90 - 120 Invasive (MAP most accurate) 70 – 105 (Target is > 60-65)
What are four potential etiologies of hypotension? -Hypovolemia: Not enough blood volume -Cardiac failure: Bad pump -Obstruction: Decreased preload and increased afterload -Distributive: Low SVR
Memorize the hemodynamic equations describing blood pressure, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. BP = CO * SVR CO = SV * HR BP = SV * HR * SVR SVR = [(MAP-CVP)/CO] * 80
The normal adult ranges for: -CO: -CI: -MVOS: -SVR: -PVR: -PAWP: -CVP (know the targets for critically ill patients) -CO: 4-8 L/min -CI: 2.8-3.6 L/min/m^2 -MVOS: 60-80% -SVR: 800-1200 dyne*sec/cm^5 -PVR: 60-120 (<250 is goal) -PAWP: 6-12 mmHg -CVP (know the targets for critically ill patients): 2-6 mmHg (Targets: Hypo <6 mmHg; Normo 6-14 mmHg; Hyper >14 mmHg)
How is Right and Left Heart Measured? -Right Heart: Preload: CVP/RAP Output: CO/CI Afterload: PVR -Left Heart Preload: PAWP Output: CO/CI and SvO2 Afterload: SVR
Understand the Frank-Starling curve. Sarcomere Length increases, Stroke volume SHOULD increase for normal heart function. Less increase in Stroke volume, higher level of heart failure
What effect does systemic vascular resistance have on stroke volume? Inversely proportional to afterload. (SVR is measurement of afterload) SV has to do with CO.
Understand concepts illustrated in the “flow diagram” of the different types of shock All lead to an eventual drop in MAP, which is caused by ^ in SVR and a v in CO. (Except for Distributive shock where SVR decreases.)
Hypovolemic Shock CO: decreased PAWP/CVP: WAY decreased SVR: Increased SVO2: Decreased Tx: Volume Resuscitation
Cardiogenic Shock CO: WAY Decreased PAWP/CVP: Increased SVR: Increased SvO2: Decreased Tx: Inotropes, afterload reducers, diuretics
Obstructive Shock CO: WAY Decreased PAWP/CVP: Increased/Same SVR: Increased SvO2: Decreased Tx: Lyses of embolism, Inotropes
Distributive Shock CO: Increased/Same PAWP/CVP: Same SVR: WAY Decreased SvO2: Increased Tx: Volume repletion and/or systemic vasoconstrictors and/or inotropes

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
