CO
- ~ 5L/min
- = SV x HR = (EDV-ESV) x HR
-
-
Fick principle
CO= VO 2/ (C A-C V)
- -VO2: rate of O2 consumption
- -CA: O2 content in peripheral artery
- -CV: O2 content in mixed venous blood (RV, PA or RA)
-
Pulse Pressure
=Psys - Pdias
~SV/ arterial compliance
-
MAP
- normally around 100
- = Pdias + 1/3(pulse pressure)
- = CO x TPR
-
wedge pressure
- - normal : 8-10 mmHg
- - used as an approximation of pressure in pulmonary veins and left atrium
- - >15= mitral stenosis or regurg, severe aortic stenosis or regurg, ventricular failure, etc.
-
Aortic stenosis
- - narrowing of the aortic valve
- - ausciltation at right 2 ICS:
- ---mid-systolic murmur(later murmur=later stage of stenosis)
- ---S4 will be present due to LV hypertrophy (differential from mitral regurg)
-
S1
- -closure of AV valves
- - splitting may be caused by conduction problem, ie right bundle branch block
- - heard at start or isovolumetric contraction
-
S2
- - closure of aortic and pulmonary valves
- - splitting can be caused by inspiration(inc ven return)
- ---if splitting is not accentuated by inhalation, then pathological (atrail septal defect or bundle branch block)
- - heard at start of isovolumetric relaxation
-
S3
- - excessive ventricular dilation caused by atrial contaction
- - physiological in younger patients
- - pathological- aortic or mitral regurg
- - heard at start of rapid ventricular filling
- - "SLOSH'--ing-in"
-
S4
- - low ventricular compliance
- - pathological- aortic stenosis or ventricular hypertrophy due to hypertension
- - heard right before S1 during atrial systole
- - "a-STIFF'--wall"
-
mitral regurge
- incompetent mitral valve causing regurgitation into the LA
- - systolic murmur
- - S3 heard (differential from aortic stenosis)
-
mitral stenosis
- - narrowing of the mitral valve
- - causes diastolic murmur because of larger pressure gradient b/t atrium and ventricle
-
PR interval
- normal: .12-.20 seconds
-
QRS complex
- - normal < .10 seconds
- - isovolumetric contraction (mechanical phase)
-
QT interval
- - > 1/2 of a complete cardiac cycle (~1/3)
- - ventriclar systole
- - starts IVC and ends after RE
-
main metabolite vasodilators of SkM
K and adenosine
-
main metobolite vasodilators of CM
adenosine and NO
-
main metabolite vasodilator of brain
PCO2
-
primary factor that alters pulmonary resistance
- hypoxia, causes vasocontriction
- -
this helps redirect blood flow to the areas of the lung that are better ventilated
-
alveolar PO2
P AO2= P IO2- (P ACO2/R)
- -Pi= PO2 of inspired air
- -PACO2= PCO2 of alveolar air
- -R= respiratory quotient (CO2 output/ O2 uptake)
-
partial pressure of CO2 in alveolus
P ACO2= (VCO2/V A) x 863
- -VCO2= vol of CO2 from metabolism
- - VA= minute alveolar ventilation
-
alveolar ventilation
VA= (VCO2/PaCO2) x 863
-
obstructive disease
- - any disease that decreases the alveolus ability to create positive pressure (on expiration)
- - ie, COPD,empysema, asthma, chronic bronchitis
-
restrictive disease
- -any disease that decreases the lungs ability to create a negative alveolar pressure on inspiration
- - ie fibrosis, asbestosis
-
respiratory system compliance
1/CRS= 1/CL + 1/CCW
-
respiratory exchange ratio
CO2 output/O2 uptake
-
arterial O2 content
VaO2= O2 dissolved + (gm Hb x 1.34)
.03 ml O2 dissolved/ 10mmHg PO2
-
lowest PVR
- -FRC
- -PVR increase (and flow decrease) on either side of FRC
-
stagnant hypoxia
- - PO2 and [O2]a are both normal
- -decreased blood flow
-
anemic hypoxia
- - PO2 normal, [O2]a is decreased
- - decreased [Hb]
-
histotoxic hypoxia
- - PO2 and [O2]a are normal
- - poisoning (CN) blocks O2 utilization on cellular level
-
arterial hypoxemias with reduced PO2 and no change in (A-a)PO2
- - low inspired PO2 (high altitude)
- - hypoventilation
-
decreased PaO2 and (A-a)PO2>0
- -diffusion limitation
- - R to L shunt
- - V/Q mismatch
-
steps to determining the cause of hypoxemia
- 1- check PaCO2
- a. high= hypoventilation
- b. low= low PIO2 (high altitude)
- c. normal-> continue to step 2
- 2. Give 100% O2
- a. PaO2<400 = R to L shunt
- b. PaO2>400 continue to step 3
- 3. CO2 diffusion capacity test
- a. normal= V/Q defect
- b. decreased= diffusion problem
-
VRG
- both inspratory and expiratory nuerons and is thought to be the rythm generator
- -ramp signal
-
pneumotaxic center
- controls TV and breathing rate
- -controls "switch off" point of the inspiratory ramp
-
- Hering-Breur reflex
-high lung volume (sensed via vagus nerve,via slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptors in the smooth muscle of the airway) inhibits further inspiration, thus terminatin inspiration and begins expiration
-
rapidly adapting pulmonary stretch receptors
- location- airway epithelium
- nerve- myelinated vagal
- activation- lung distention and irritants
- function- cough reflex, gasp and bronchoconstriction by high activity
-
C- fibers or type J- receptors
- - location- near capillaries
- - nerve- non myelinated vagal
- - activated by increase interstitial fluid and pulmonary embolism
- -function-cause rapid shallow breathing, bronchoconstriction and CV depression(tachypnea and hyperventilation
-
slowly adapting stretch receptors
- - location- SM of airway
- -nerve- myelinated vagal
- -activation- lung distention, breath holding and deflation below FRC
- -function- terminate inspiration and terminate large expiration
-
central chemoreceptors
- - stimulated by H+ (PCO2 responder)
- - inhibited by cold and anesthetics
- - defects can result in sleep apnea, SIDS, panic attacks, epilepsy and migraines
-
peripheral chemoreceptors
- - PO2 responder mainly
- - located in the carotid body of ExCa
- - mainly O2 sensitive via type 1 glomulus cells(threshold PO2~80mmHg, significant at PO2 of 65 mmHg)
- - mildly CO2 and H+ sensitive
-
chronic hypercapnea
- - at first increase in CO2 causes increased ventilation via central CR, inc CO2 in CSF-> inc H+ in CSF
- - increased CO2 and H+ increases respiration via peripheral CR as well
- -kidney will compensate for inc H+, which decreases peripheral and central CR stim= dec respiration
- -now only stim for inc resp is PO2, so if pt is given O2, this may cause cessation of breathing
-
chronic hypoxia
- - dec PO2 causes immedite hyperventilation (good low lower PCO2, thus raise PO2), but causes resp alkalosis
- - resp alkalosis will inhibit P and C CR CO2/pH receptor response thus decreasing ventilation for the first few days
- - once alkalosis is compensated for, ventilation increases
-
cheynes-stokes breathing
- -cycles of gradual increase in tidal volumes followed by a gradual decrease
- -
-
kussmaul breathing
- -increased tidal volume seen in DKA anddiabetic coma
- - aka air hunger
-
range of BP for autoregulatory organs to keep blood flow normal
60-180 mmHg
-
at what heart rate will SV begin to decline
180-200 bpm
