what are the procedures for the insertion in Hemodynamic monitoring?
Insert the ballon deflated. Advance &watch the pressure waveform on the monitor.Once in RA ballon is inflated &act as a sail, guiding catheter into RV &finally into PA.Once there ballon is deflated & Remain that way except when PCWP measurement is needed
Advance cardiac Life support (ACLS): ventricular fibrillation-What is precordial thumb?
It gives the pt. transitions to v-fib or pulseless v-tach - the transition witnessed as it happened.
Advance cardiac Life support (ACLS): In Hypotension How do you treat poor cardiac contractility related problems?
1. Digitalis (Crystodigin) 2. Digoxin ( Lanoxin)
In hemodynamic monitoring what are 4 types of data collected?
1. CVP- central venous pressure. 2. PAP - Pulmonary artery pressure. 3. PCWP - pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. 4. CO- cardiac output.
Basic cardiac life support (BCLS): what are the hazards of CPR?
1. Pneumothorax (from broken ribs) 2. Gastric Distension or rupture 3. Liver laceration 4. Aspiration 5. Cross-contamination 6. Cardiac Contusion (bruising of the cardiac muscle) 7. Continue CPR regardless of above hazards.
Advance cardiac Life support (ACLS): What is Asystole?
Must be confirmed in 2 leads - rules out lead dysfunction. Treat w/ Epinephrine, Atropine
What type of heart problems does a Defibrillation treat?
For treating: Lethal arrhythmias 1)Ventricular Fibrillation 2)Ventricular Flutter 3) Ventricular Tachycardia (with pulseless only)
Advance cardiac Life support (ACLS): What is Bardycardia?
Treat with Atropine, Epinephrine & may use an external pacemaker
In a Hemodynamics Monitoring where do we Locate the Catheter?
Location of Catheter:RA/Just prior- 2-6mmHg. RV:2-25mmHg. PA-12:25mmHg.
What is Hemodynamic Monitoring - line insertion?
Catheter is guided through a large vein, through the right atrium and ventricle into the pulmonary artery. This catheter is called a balloon-tipped, flow-directed, pulmonary artery.
