Question
Answer
BP frequency   induction q 1 min maintenance q 2.5 min document q 5 min per ASA  
🗑
indicator of end-organ perfusion   arterial bp  
🗑
what is a good bp depends on   1. pt baseline, pmh 2. surgical procedure 3. generally w/in 20% of baseline  
🗑
SBP   1. peak pressure during systolic contraction 2. correlates with changes in myocardial O2 consumption  
🗑
DBP   1. trough pressure during diastolic relaxation 2. determinant of coronary perfusion  
🗑
MAP definition   1. time-wt'd avg of arterial pressures during a pulse cycle 2. most useful for assessing organ perfusion  
🗑
MAP formula   SBP + 2(DBP) / 3  
🗑
pulse pressure   difference bw systolic and diastolic pressures  
🗑
NIBP accuracy depends on   1. proper cuff size 2. positioning (leaned on, tucked, etc) 3. HR (tachy, brady, irreg. ↓ accuracy)  
🗑
proper NIBP cuff size   1. rubber bladder should be 1/2 way around extremity 2. with 20%-50% > diameter of extremity ~too narrow - over estimate SBP ~too wide - underestimate SBP  
🗑
don't place NIBP on   extremities with PIV or vascular abnormalities (fistulas, mastectomy)  
🗑
if must place NIBP on arm with PIV   place IV tubing underneath cuff to prevent extravasations  
🗑
SBP by Palpation   ~old, unreliable ~no dbp, map ~simple, cheap 1. locate palpable peripheral pulse 2. inflate cuff proximal to pulse til occluded 3. release cuff by 2-3mmHg/beat 4. measure cuff pressure where pulse palpable  
🗑
SBP by doppler probe   ~old 1. same as palpation, except with doppler instead of finger. 2. need lube, accurate position above artery  
🗑
BP by auscultation   1. inflate cuff to pressure bw sbp, dbp 2. underlying artery partially collapses and produces korotkoff sounds 3. auscultate w/ stethoscope placed under inflated bp cuff 4. SBP = onset of sounds 5. DBP = disappearance of sounds  
🗑
BP by oscillometry   ~preferred ~versatile ~quick ~accurate 1. microprocessor derives SBP, DBP, MAP using an algorithm 2. arterial pulsation causes oscillations in cuff pressure 3. small when cuff > SBP 4. at SBP, markedly ↑ 5. at MAP, maximal 6. after MAP, ↓  
🗑
BP by plethysmography   ~peds ~unreliable w/ ↓ perfusion 1. arterial pulsations transiently ↑ blood vol in extremity 2. finger photoplethysmograph consists of light-emitting diode and photoelectric cell  
🗑
BP by arterial tonometry   ~@ Christ hospital ~freq calibration ~sensitive to movement 1. measures beat to beat pressure 2. senses pressure required to partially flatten a superficial artery supported by bony structure ie radial  
🗑
NIBP limitations   arrythmias  
🗑
Art Line - Invasive BP monitoring   GOLD STANDARD  
🗑
A line indications   1. elective ↓ bp (to ↓ blood loss) 2. wide intra-op bp swings (pheochromocytoma) 3. end organ disease necessitating beat to beat pressure regulation 4. multiple ABG's 5. 1 lung ventilation 6. cardiac/major vascular surgery 7. strict bp paramet  
🗑
A line contraindications   1. no collateral blood flow 2. suspicion of pre-existing vascular insufficiency  
🗑
radial a line   ~most common site ~superficial location ~collateral flow (5% lack collateral flow)  
🗑
test for collateral flow before radial a line insertion   1. doppler probe 2. plethysmography 3. pulse ox (waveform w/ compressed artery) 4. allen's test (not reliable; need pt cooperation)  
🗑
allen's test   1. exsanguinate hand by pt making fist 2. manually compress radial & ulnar arteries 3. relax hand 4. release pressure over ulnar artery 5. observe return of color < 5 sec = collateral flow 5-10 sec = inconclusive > 10 sec = inadequate circulati  
🗑
ulnar a line   ~more difficult d/t deeper, tortuous ~do NOT attempt if radial has been tried  
🗑
brachial a line   ~large, easily ID'd AC fossa ~less waveform distortion d/t proximity to aorta  
🗑
femoral a line   ~last resort ~prone to pseudoaneurysm & atheroma ~↑ infection & thrombosis ~peds complication: aseptic necrosis of femur head  
🗑
dp/pt a line   ~distorted waveforms d/t distance from aorta  
🗑
axillary a line   ~axillary plexus nerve damage d/t hematoma or traumatic cannulation ~air/thrombi quickly travel to brain during retrograde flusshing of L ax artery  
🗑
a line complications   1. hematoma 2. bleeding 3. vasospasm 4. arterial thrombosis 5. embolization of air bubbles/thrombi 6. necrosis of skin overlying catheter 7. nerve damage 8. infection 9. loss of digits 10. unintentional intra-arterial drug injection  
🗑
↑ risk of a line complications   1. prolonged cannulation 2. HLD 3. repeated insertion attempts 4. female 5. CP bypass 6. pressors 7. prolonged shock 8. pre-existing PVD  
🗑
↓ risks of a line complications by   1. keep ratio of catheter to artery site small 2. heparinized saline at 2-3 ml/hr 3. limit flushing of catheter 4. meticulous attention paid to aseptic technique 5. place pulse ox to monitor perfusion during insertion  
🗑
a line pressure system frequency   1. must exceed natural frequency of arterial pulse 2. most transducers > 200 Hz 3. stopcocks, air, extra tubing ↓ frequency  
🗑
a line underdamp   leading to overshoot ~ SBP falsely high (overestimated)  
🗑
a line over damp   frequency response too low ~ SBP falsely low (underestimated)  
🗑
keys to accurate a line waveform   1. minimize tubing length 2. eliminate stopcocks 3. remove air 4. low compliance tubing 5. smaller catheters improve underdamped system & ↓ risk for vascular complications  
🗑
pressure transducer   1. contains a diaphgram that is distorted by an arterial pressure wave 2. mechanical energy converted to electrical signal  
🗑
strain gauge principle   stretching a wire or silicone crystal changes its electrical resistance ~ pressure transducers based on this  
🗑
Wheatstone bridge circuit   pressure transducer sensing elements arranged so voltage output is proportionate to pressure applied to diaphragm  
🗑
zero the a line   1. must move with pt 2. check regularly with position, temp changes 3. when pt is seated - brain arterial pressure differs significantly from LV pressure, so level at the ear, which approximates the Circle of Willis  
🗑
a line waveform upstroke   ~contractility 1. faster = ↑ contractility or ↓ SVR 2. slower = ↓ contractility or ↑ SVR  
🗑
a line waveform downstroke   peripheral vascular resistance  
🗑
a line respiratory variation   hypovolemia  
🗑
a line dichrotic notch   ~AV closure ~CO determines position on limb ~↑ = ↑ SV ~↓ = ↓ SV (hypovolemic)  
🗑
