VERIFIED ANSWERS AND STUDY GUIDE
• Hemodynamic monitoring: blood volume Preload -✓✓ANSWER: *R side of heart
if it's low give IV fluid


• Hemodynamic monitoring: pump effectiveness -✓✓ANSWER: contractility


• Hemodynamic monitoring: vascular tone after load -✓✓ANSWER: *L side of
heart


• Hemodynamics monitoring: tissue perfusion -✓✓ANSWER: overall outcome


• Preload -✓✓ANSWER: the amount of blood filling the ventricles before
contraction


• What side of heart refers to the preload? -✓✓ANSWER: RIGHT


• Afterload -✓✓ANSWER: the resistance the heart must overcome to eject the
blood


• What side of the heart refers to the after load? -✓✓ANSWER: LEFT


• Contractility -✓✓ANSWER: the strength of the hearts contraction

, • Cardiac Output -✓✓ANSWER: the amount of blood the heart pumps each
minute


• What does cardiac output depend on? -✓✓ANSWER: Stroke volume: amount of
blood pumped with each beat
heart rate: number of heartbeats per min


• Central Venous pressure (CVP) -✓✓ANSWER: ride sided preload (venous return
to heart), intravascular volume status, blood volume/venous tone/RV function


• What is a normal CVP? -✓✓ANSWER: ~ 2-6 mmHg
*trends matter


• Central venous access -✓✓ANSWER: Central placement: catheter tip is sitting in
the SVC about the RA


• Indications of central venous access -✓✓ANSWER: vesicant meds, titration
meds, long-term med use, nutrition/TPN, poor vascular access, hemodynamic
monitoring


• Arterial line -✓✓ANSWER: Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
- average pressure driving blood in arterial system
- overall determinant of perfusion


• Central venous access sights -✓✓ANSWER: internal jugular, femoral vein,
subclavian vein, brachial/cephalic
