Question
Answer
Preload   volume of blood in ventricle at end of diastole (REST) - the amount of blood in the ventricle before the next beat.  
🗑
Afterload   Resistance to the flow of blood from ventricles thru the aortic and pulmonic valves.  
🗑
Contractility   Strenght of contraction.  
🗑
Starlings law   As preload increased, CO increases until it reaches a PEAK and then it fails (CO will drop, blood continues to fill till it over flows and it will fail)  
🗑
Increased Preload   Increased CO  
🗑
What increases preload?   Fluids and vasopressors  
🗑
What decreases preload?   hemorrhage and fluid loss  
🗑
Increased afterload =   decreased CO  
🗑
What causes increased afterload?   HTN  
🗑
What decreases afterload?   vasodilators.  
🗑
Decreased contractility =   Decreased CO  
🗑
What increases contractility?   Adernergic vasopressor  
🗑
What decreased contractility?   MI and CHF  
🗑
Which labs are considered before giving a swan?   K, Na, mg and Ical  
🗑
K (potassium)   3.5 to 5  
🗑
Na   135 -145  
🗑
mg   1.6 to 2.6  
🗑
ical   4.5 to 5.6  
🗑
CVP   Central venous pressure  
🗑
CVP Norm   4 to 10  
🗑
Where is CVP measured?   Right atrium  
🗑
What does CVP measure?   Right atrium pressure  
🗑
What does increase CVP indicate?   High blood volume & increase venous tone = decrease R ventricular contractitliy  
🗑
What instrument do you need for CVP?   Artline....no need for swan, but swan can measure it if in place.  
🗑
CO   4L to 8L/min of bloodflow  
🗑
How many beats per min is a normal HR?   60 to 80  
🗑
How much blood flow per min is normal for stroke volume?   60 to 70ml  
🗑
Calculation that determines CO   HR x SV = Number of heart beats/min x the amount of ml of blood per min  
🗑
What measures the CO?   The swan  
🗑
Where is CO measured?   Right atrium  
🗑
Example of HR x SV = ??? 80 bpm x 70ml/min =   CO 5600 ml/min or 5.6 L/min  
🗑
Cardiac index normal?   2.8 to 4.2 L/min  
🗑
What measures CI   swan ganz  
🗑
Where is it measured?   R atrium  
🗑
Why is CI better than CO?   Heart is based on clients weight and height.  
🗑
SCV02   Central venous oxygen saturation  
🗑
what does swan measure SCVO2?   oxygen saturation rate, the oygen reserve (oxygen not used by the body)  
🗑
normal value for SCVO2?   ~ 70%  
🗑
what devices measures SCVO2?   artline, not swan  
🗑
SvO2 is measured with what?   Swan  
🗑
Normal SvO2?   60 to 80%  
🗑
What does <60% of SvO2 indicate?   Decreased oxygen is being delivered to the body.  
🗑
What causes <60% of Sv02   Body is consuming more oxygen because of decreased CO, decreased Hgb, decreased vent support,  
🗑
What does >80% Sv02 indicate?   Body is not taking in the blood d/t shunting. Body is not getting enough oxygen  
🗑
PA or (PAP)normal   25/10 mmHg  
🗑
what instrument measures the PAP?   Need swan  
🗑
What does PAP measure?   Left preload and R Afterload  
🗑
What causes an increase in PAP?   Respiratory disorders (pneumonia, ARDS, emphysema) fluid, atelectasis, chest, trauma and pulmonary htn  
🗑
PCWP   6 to 10 mmHG  
🗑
This is measured when balloon is inflated and is needs swan ganz?   PCWP  
🗑
When balloon is inflated, what does PCWP measure?   Right afterload and Left preload  
🗑
When PCWP is >10 mmHg, this indicates?   Left sided heart failure r/t pressure or high fluid.  
🗑
MAP normal   70 to 90 mmHg  
🗑
In some cases, what value is okay for MAP?   < 65 mmHg  
🗑
What value of MAP indicuated underperfusion?   <60 mmHg  
🗑
MAP is measured?   Art line  
🗑
SVR measures ?   Systemic vascular resistance, via an artline or B/P  
🗑
SVR norm   900 to 1600  
🗑
What does SVR measure   Left side afterload.  
🗑
