mean (MAP) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - average pressure for
circulation
- normal 70-105
- MAP < 60 is inadequate
what to do in torsades - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - give Mg Sulfate
- CPR
- defibrillate
how constriction/dilation affected preload - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
dilation = less preload (more dry)
constriction = more preload (more wet)
optimizing perfusion - preload - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > low preload
= give fluid (blood, fluids, colloids)
,high preload = give diuretics/vasodilators/dialysis
what drugs lengthen QTc - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - antiarrhythmics
- antipsychotics
- antidepressants
blood pressure pitfalls - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - insensitive sign of
early shock
- must compare to patient baseline
- first BP should always be done manually
*just because you have a BP does not mean the body is being perfused
3 components of stroke volume - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > preload =
blood volume
afterload = resistance (how clamped or dilated the vessels are)
contractility = Squeeze of the heart
, preload - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - amount of fluid that is returning
to the heart
- edema is not a part of intravascular volume
- you can have a lot of edema and be dehydrated at the same time
your patient is experiencing angina, the provider orders nitroglycerin.
what do you anticipate will happen
a. blood pressure will drecrease
b. preload will increase
c. preload will decrease
d. A and C - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > D
optimizing perfusion - afterload - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - since the
heart ejects into the arteries....the arteries affect the afterload
- constricted = more resistance and decreased CO
- dilated = less resistance and increased CO
high afterload - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > - constricted arteries
- physical assessment (cool extremities, pale, mottled
