Vicki Clavir RN
Purpose
The
Objectives
Understands basic cardiac anatomy
Verbalizes determinates of Cardiac Output and their
relationships to each other
List indications for hemodynamic monitoring
Demonstrates monitor system and set up
Describe pharmacologic strategies that manipulate
the determinates of cardiac output
Coronary Arteries
Left Main
CXLA,LV (side/back)
SA node 40%
AV node 20%
LAD
LV (front/bottom)
Septum
Bundle branches
Cardiac Cycle
Diastole Phase
Early Diastole
Ventricles relax.
Semilunar valves close.
Atrioventricular valves
open.
Ventricles fill with blood.
Mid Diastole
Late Diastole
SA node contracts.
Atria contract.
Ventricles fill with more
blood.
Contraction reaches AV
node.
Cardiac Cycle
Systole Phase
Systole
Contraction
passes from AV
node to
Purkinje fibers
and ventricular
cells.
Ventricles
contract.
Atrioventricular
valves close.
Semilunar
valves open.
Blood is
pumped from
the ventricles
to the arteries.
Cardiac Cycle
Ventricular muscle

Hemodynamic terms
Preload-
Stretch of ventricular
wall. Usually related to
volume. (how full is the tank?)
Frank Starlings Law
Hemodynamic terms
Increased Preload
Decreased preload
Or LVEDP
PAOP = 8-12 mm Hg
PAD = 10-15 mm Hg
Hemodynamic terms
Contractility-

Positive inotropic drugs
Dobutamine, Digoxin, Epinephrine
Sympathetic stimulation
Fear, anxiety
Hypercalcemia ( high calcium)
CONTRACTILITY PRECAUTIONS

PAP DOCUMENTATION
Measure at end expiration
Measure pressures from a
graphic tracing
Measure pulmonary capillary
wedge pressure at end-expiration
using the mean of the a wave
a wave indicates atrial contraction and
falls within the P QRS interval of the
corresponding ECG complex
