SVO2 Normal - >60% Low SVO2 - Inadequate oxygen delivery or increased oxygen consumption Ex: fever, pain, bleeding, infection High SVO2 - increase in CO, decrease in oxygen demand, reduction in oxygen extraction Ex: anesthesia, hypothermia CVP Normal - 2-6 High CVP - over hydration, cardiac tamponade, heart failure, pulmonary stenosis. Patient needs diuresis, vasodilation, or treatment for tamponade. Low CVP - hypovolemic shock for hemorrhage, fluid shift, dehydration. Pati...

contractility - strength of contraction -how effective is heart at squeezing blood out improving contractility - BP is low-> give catelcholamines depressing contractility - BP is high-> beta blockers preload - degree of stretch at END of diastole (relax so filling) -higher stroke volume= more blood returning to heart afterload - resistance of ejecting blood out from ventricle s -more resistance- less stroke volume -vessels dilated- less resistance- easier to leave heart increasing...

4 components of a pressure monitoring system - -invasive catheter -transducer -flush system -bedside monitor Invasive catheter - attached to high pressure tubing which connects to the transducer Transducer - - converts the pressure coming from the artery or heart chamber into an electrical signal (waveform) - needs to be zeroed at least once a shift and when it is set up - must be at phlebostatic axis
