Question
Answer
Hemodynamic monitoring is   the measurement of pressure, flow and O2 of the blood within the cardiovascular system  
🗑
Hemodynamic Monitoring is a diagnositc tool used for   continuous monitoring of force and flow of blood  
🗑
hemodynamic monitoring is allows for   monitoring response o therapies in terms of pressure, flow and O2 within the blood  
🗑
Nurse's role within hemodynamic monitoring   you must know the current treatments and how they work, focus on patient safety outcomes and be prepared to take action based on data  
🗑
What are the hemodynmic monitoring system five basic components   bedside manner, flush system, transducer, high pressure tubing, and catheter  
🗑
The hemodynmic monitoring system's catheter measures from   pulmonary artery, central venous, and arterial  
🗑
Procedure for setting up the hemodynmic monitoring system   Place 500cc bag of NS spiked c pressure tubing under the pressure bag & inflate to 300mmhg, prime tubing, level the lines with the patient, zero the lines, test the system and set alarms.  
🗑
To ensure accuracy, why do you level hemodynmic monitoring system   eliminate effects of hydrostatic pressure on transducer  
🗑
where do you level hemodynmic monitoring system   with phlebostatic axis (4th intercostal space, midaxillary line  
🗑
How to you zero?   turn stopcock and open to air  
🗑
how do you caliberate   using the biomed function of bedside monitors  
🗑
Dynamic response /square T wave is tested tosee if   the system is accurately transmitting the pressure detected in the vessel.  
🗑
How to you do the dynamic response/square t wave test?   pull the pig tail and release for a fast flush, should produce a square wave. Normal is 1-2 oscillations below the baseline  
🗑
when is the dynamic response... done?   after blood draws, or is accuracy is questioned, Q8-12 hrs  
🗑
What is necessary to maintain patency and avoid clots?   constant flow of sterile solution  
🗑
why must connections be secured   to withstand pressure  
🗑
transducer position directly affects   accuracy  
🗑
When do you repeat leveling?   every position, pole or bed change  
🗑
When is zeroing done?   every shift  
🗑
Stroke volume is   the amount of blood leaving the LEFT VENTRICLE with each CONTRACTION  
🗑
What is a normal stroke volume?   60-100ml /beat  
🗑
stroke volume is sensitive to   changes in preload, afterload and contractility  
🗑
Cardiac Output is   the amount of blood leaving the LEFT VENTRICLE per MINUTE  
🗑
CO=   HR x SV  
🗑
Normal CO is   4-8 L/minute  
🗑
Where is the CO obtained?   pulmonary artery catheter  
🗑
Cardiac Index   CO per square meter of the body; more accurate than CO  
🗑
CI   =CO/BSA  
🗑
BSA is determined by   (weight in Kg x .425)(height in cm(.725) x .007184  
🗑
Normal CI is   2.2-4.0L / min  
🗑
if CI is low   it is not enough to perfuse to all organs = cellular death  
🗑
Contractility are made of   positive inotropes and negative inotropes  
🗑
Positive inotropes   catecholamines, sympathetic stimulation, drugs (digoxin, dopamine, dobutamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine)  
🗑
negative inotropes   acidosis, barbituates, alcohol, hypoxemia, drugs (progainamide, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers)  
🗑
Ejection fraction is   the percentage of blood that is efected with each heart beat  
🗑
normal ejection fraction is   65% (thus 35% is a reserve)  
🗑
less than 35% ejection fraction is   serious ventricular failure  
🗑
Contractility is   the force generated by the myocardium, related to the ability of the ventricle muscle fibers to lengthen/stretch  
🗑
Frank-sterling law:   cardiac muscle fibers will strtch to accommodate the venous return of diastole  
🗑
what is the optimal filling pressure in contractility   10-12 mmhg  
🗑
if greater than 12 than   cardiac muscle fibers are overstretched and the force produced decreased leading to HF  
🗑
Preload- R Atrial (CVP) reflects the   pressure of the vena cava and RA, volume as well, but it is actually EDP  
🗑
RV preload is dependent on   RA blood colume, CO and venous vascular resistance  
🗑
CVP/RAP   2-8 mmHg  
🗑
Low CVP is   hypovolemia  
🗑
CVP is determined by   CVP line of pulmonary artery catheter  
🗑
Preload LVEDP (left Ventricular end diastolic pressure)   is the volume of blood in a chamber at the end of diastole, and how we measure L V preload  
🗑
Pulmonary Artery occlsive pressure is   an indirect measure of the pulmonary capillary pressure and reflects the LVEDP under normal conditions  
🗑
Normal PAOP =   6-12 mmHG  
🗑
Pulmonary Artery can be used as an estimate if   balloon is not working  
🗑
you must have what to obtain LVEDP measurement?   PAC  
🗑
Reasons for High PAOP   LV failure, myocardial failure, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac temponade, MV disease, fluid volume overload  
🗑
Reasons for Low PAOP   fluid volume deficit, shock states, vasodilating medications  
🗑
Afterload   the pressure the ventricles must overcome to eject blood  
🗑
vascular resistance is   the major determinant but also affected by resistance offered by aortic valave, mass and density of blood  
🗑
SVR=   (MAP-CVP) x 80/ CO  
🗑
Pulmonary system afterload =   PVR systemic ciculation = SVR  
🗑
Normal PVR   < 250 dynes/s/cm-5  
🗑
SVR   =800-1200 dynes s/cm-5  
🗑
elevated SVR maybe due to   hyperthermia, vasodilation, or drug therapy  
🗑
invasive Pressure monitoring   intra-arterial catheters, central venous catheters, pulmonary artery catheters  
🗑
intra arterial catheters   never for infusions, must fo an Allen's test first or a stick, radial artery is most common site, monitor continuous BP, used for those with unstable BP; those needing frequent blood draws/gasses; vasoactive meds requiring titration; careful monitoring  
🗑
Arterial Waveforms   sys/and dystolic pressure by the heart' mechanical activity, dicrotic notch is aortic valve cloorue end of systole and begining of dystole  
🗑
factors influencing ABP waveforms   cardiac arrhythmias , distance between heart and catheter site  
🗑
MAP   ((2*DBP)+SBP)/3  
🗑
