| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Amount of blood leaving the ventricle with each contraction | Stove Volume |
| What is the normal stroke volume | 60 to 100 ml/beat |
| The amount of blood leaving the left ventricle per minute | CO=HR X SV |
| Low CO | bradycardia, hypotension, MI, dysrhytmias, electrolyte imbalances, fluid overload |
| High CO | tachycardia, hyperthyroidism, exercise, stress |
| Normal CO | 4 to 8L |
| Cardiac Index | CI= CO/BSA Normal is 2.4 to 4 L |
| Ejection Fraction | The percentage of blood ejected with each heart beat Normal is 65% Less than 35% serious ventricular failure |
| Contractility | Force generated by the myocardium Normal is 10 to 12 greater than 12 HF |
| Positive inotropes | Increase contractility catecholamines, SNS, Dopamine, Dobutamine, Epinephrine, Norephinephrine |
| Negative inotropes | Acidosis, hypoxemia, alcohol, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, barbituates |
| CVP | Reflects pressure in the vena cava and right atrium Normal is 2 to 8 mmHg Direct measure Preload |
| Low CVP | hypovolemia, sepsis, diuresis, hemorrhage |
| High CVP | cardiac tampanode, pulmonary HTN, renal failure, hypervolemia, fluid resuscitation |
| LVEDP | Preload Volume of blood in the left ventricle at the end of diastole Normal 6 to 12 |
| High LVEDP | IV failure, myocardial ischemia, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tampanode, MV disease, fluid volume overload |
| Low LVEDP | Fluid volume deficit, shock states, vasodilating medications |
| SVR | (MAP-CVP)X80/CO Normal is 800 to 1200 |
| High SVR | constriction, hypovolemia, valve disorders, hypothermia, decreased contractility |
| Low SVR | hyperthermia, vasodilation, drug therapy |
| The distal port wave form in the pulmonary artery looks like what other waveform? | Arterial wave form with a dicrotic notch |
| What does a dicrotic notch indicate | End of systole and beginning of diastole |
