referencing
positioning the transducer so that the zero ref point is at the atria of the hear
furosemide
diuretic tx of hypotension and edema
venodialators
nitroglycerine, nitroprusside, hydralizine
Frank Starlings Law
the more a myocardial fiber is stretched in filling, the more it shortens in systole and the greater the force of contraction
isoproterenol
cardiac stimulant. bronchodilator
milrinone
provides inotropic support. used in heart failure
digitalis
cardiac stimulant. strenghthens heart contractions
PAWP
8-12
dopamine
tx of shock, hypotension and low cardiac output
preload
VOLUME within the ventricle at end of diastole, decreases with diuretics or vasodilation
succinylcholine
muscle relaxer
negative inotropes
calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, acidosis. Diminished contractility
stroke volume
volume ejected within each heart beat
chronotropes
change hr by affecting the nerves
swann ganz
used to measure PA pressures
vasopressors
dopamine, norepinepherine, epinephrine, pheylephrine
epinepherine
vasoconstricter. heart stimulant
dicrotic notch
change in pressure when aortic valve closes
phlebostatic axis
midclavic + 4th intercostal space
inotropes
alters force or energy of muscle contractions
tx of decreased afterload
vasopressors
venus oxygen sat
60-80
norepinephrine
vasopressor. causes vasoconstriction. positive inotrope. increases contractility
midazolam
(versed) sedation and pain reliever
contractility
the force the lv contracts
right atrial pressure
0-8
ventricular assist device
provides long term support for the failing heart
hydrocortisone
antianflamatory
atrial pressure monitoring
sodium nitroprusside pressors
cardiac output
HR X SV amount of blood pumped from the LV in one min
SVR
MAP-CVP/CO X 80 normal- 900-1300
fentanyl
narcotic analgesic. acts on cns for pain management
Cardiac index
co/bsa
tx of increased afterload
vasodilators, ace inhibitors, calcium channel blockers
phenylephrine
vasoconstrictor
vasopressin
antidiuretic. constricts blood cells
afterload
PRESSURE determined. Resistance the LV has to pump against. Forces opposing ventricular ejection, decreases with sepic chock. increases with htn
hypervolemia tx
diuretics, venodilators, relieve pulm congestion
nitroglycerin
vasodialator
