Where is the blood volume distributed in the body?
|
Venous Circulation: 64%
Arterial Circulation: 20% Pulmonary: 9% Heart: 7% |
|
What is considered the major resistance vessel?
|
Arterioles
(accounts for 50% of resistance) |
|
What is the layout of the arterial system?
|
Artery--Arterioles--Metarterioles--Capillaries
|
|
What are the characteristics of capillary blood flow?
|
Intermittent blood flow
(vasomotion ) |
|
What is the most important determinant of the degree of opening and closing of metarterioles and precapillary sphincters?
|
Oxygen-- Low O2 increases blood low through capillaries to supply tissue
|
|
What 3 ways does fluid move across the capillary membranes?
|
1 Diffusion
2 Filtration 3 Pinocytosis |
|
Direction of fluid movement with capillary filtration is dependent on four pressures... what are they?
|
1. Capillary pressure
2. Interstitial fluid pressure 3. Plasma colloid oncotic pressure 4. Interstitial fluid oncotic pressure |
|
What is the mean capillary pressure ?
|
approx 17 mm/hg
(25mmHg at arterial end, and 10mmHg at venous end) |
|
What is the Interstitial fluid pressure and what is it's role in controlling edema?
|
IFP: -6.3mmHg
the negative pressure acts as a vacuum tohold tissues together and maintain a min distance for diffusion of nutrients. Loss of negative pressure allows for edema formation. |
|
What makes up the plasma colloid oncotic pressure?
|
Albumin, Globulins and fibrinogen -- total COP is 28mmHg
... causes movement of fluid inward thru cap membranes |
|
What is the Donnan Equilibrium effect on COP?
|
extra osmotic pressure attributable to cations (Na+ and K+) attached to dissolved plasma proteins
|
|
What is the NET effect of the pressure effects of fluid movement across cap membranes?
|
Positive filtration at arterial end and positive reabsorption at venous end...(any extra fluid left in isf is taken up by lymph system)
|
|
What Lipid soluble molecules DIFFUSE directly through the cap membranes independent of pores?
|
O2, CO2, Inhaled Agents
Insoluable molecules: Na, K, Cl,Glucose(use pores) |
|
What molecules are involved in Pinocytosis?
|
High molecular weight molecules: Plasma proteins, Glycoproteins, Polysaccharides
|
|
How much of the blood volume is in the sytemic circulation?
|
84% (remainder in pulmonary and heart)
|
|
What is Pulse Pressure?
|
Difference between SBP-DBP
|
|
What determines PP?
|
Stroke Volume, Heart Rate, Arterial compliance
|
|
What is the relationship between Pulse Pressure and SV?
|
Increased SV = Increased Pulse Pressure
|
|
What happens with PP with decreased SVR?
|
Decreased SVR = Increases PP
( flow of blood from arteries to veins is accelerated, which increases venous return and increases SV) |
|
What happens with PP with Increased CO?
|
Increased CO = Increased PP
|
|
What happens to PP with Increased DBP?
|
Inc DBP = Decreased PP
|
|
What is Pulsus paradoxus? Is this normal or abnormal?
|
An exagerated Decreased in SBP and pulse during Inspiration.(heart cannot expand)
= Patholologic: cardiac tamponade, hypovolemia, restrictive pericarditis. |
|
What is Pulsus Alternans? is this normal or abnormal?
|
Alternating weak and strong cardiac contractions... Abnormal:
AV Block Dig toxicity |
|
What is a Pulse deficit?
|
When a second heartbeat is heard thru stehoscope but is not palpable.... Abnormal: AFib or PVC's
|
|
What is the significance of the phlebostatic angle?
|
Hydrostatic pressure does not alter venour or arterial pressure at this pint. (Tricuspid valve)
|
|
What happens to Arterial BP if transducer is too high?
|
the reading is low.
|
|
What determines the viscosity of blood?
|
HCT
also-- increased HCT will decrease PP because of increased resistance. |
|
What is the acute controller of Blood flow at the local level?
long term? |
1. tissue metabolism
2. Oxygen availability -collateral circulation development |
|
What is the Fastest ANS controller of blood flow?
|
1. SNS: NE/E
- Alpha-1 vasoconstriction - Alpha 2 vasoconstriction Beta 2 vasodilation |
|
What are the Hormonal Vasodilating substances?
|
Bradykinin
serotonin histamine Prostaglandins Low Epi... |
|
What are the electrolytes involved in vasodilation?
|
Increased: K+, H+ , CO2, Mg+, Na+
|
|
What is the Rapid Acting mechanism of Blood pressure?
(sec to min) |
1.Baroreceptors
-Carotid -Aortic 2. CNS Ischemic REflex(map<50) 3. Chemoreceptors (dec O2, Inc CO2,H+) 4. Atrial reflexes (bainbridge) |
|
What is the intermediate mechanism of blood pressure control?
|
1. Hormonal-(catecholamines, and angeiotension, and ADH vasoconstriction)
2. Intrinsic-capillary shift mechanism 3. Stress-relaxation mechanism |
|
What is the long term pressure control mechanism?
|
Renal-body mechanism(Kidneys)
|
|
What arre the 5 types of shock?
|
Circulatory
Hemorrhagic Hypovolemic Neurogenic Septic |
|
What are the characteristic manifestations of shock?
|
1. Decreased CO (except Septic)
2. Reduced Tissue O2 deivery 3. Skeletal muscle weakness 4 Decreased body temp 5. Altered mental status 6. Decreased urine output 7. Progressive deterioration: Cardiogenic Shock |
