37 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

cyanosis

lips and nail beds

diaphoresis

clammy sweaty skin

hypoperfusion

shock- inadequate circulation of blood (oxygen) to the cells

factors affecting bp

posture, excercise, cardiovascular diseases, diet, medications

hypotension

low bp


orthostatis and acute

orthostatic hypotension

temp. low bp and dizziness suddenly rising from a sitting or reclining position

acute hypotension

circulatory shock

hypertension

high bp


arterial pressure of 140.90 or higher


primary

primary

due to several risk factors


heredity, diet, obesity, age, stress, diabetes mellitus, and smoking

elasticity

healthy expands absorbing shock of systolic pressure


rigid artery cannot expand, so wall expereince higher pressure

vessel diameter

small diameter means more blood cells in contact with walls, more friction


greater resistance greater pressure

3 factors affecting resistance

blood vessel length adult vs. children


blood vesell diameter and flex. - atheroscleriosis, arteriosclerosis, meds


blood viscosity - preggos, meds, diet

CHF

cardiac output is low that blood circulation inadequate to meet tissue needs


c

chf caused by

atheroscleriosis


high blood pressure


multiple myocardial infarcts

cardiac output

heart rate and stroke volume change in opoopsite directions to maintain contant cardiac output ex.bleeding



heart rate x sv-co



volume of blood pumped outby left ventricle each min

blood pressure

cardiac output x peripheral resistance bp=co x pr

peripheral resistance

frictional force that opposes blood flow flow=dp/r

vasodilation

increase luminal space, decrease resistance, increase blood flow

vasoconstriction

decrease luminal space, increase resistance, decrease blood flow.

sphygmonmanometer

blood pressure cuff

sounds of korotkoff

characteristic sounds heard when measuring bp

systolic pressure

pressure in cuff equal to aterial pressure, begin to hear sound

diastolic pressure

pressure in cuff drop bewow minimal pressure in ventricular relaxation, sounds disapear

blood pressure

Force per unit area exerted on vessel wall by the blood.

Systolic pressure

Highest pressure in artery at peak ventricular contraction.

Diastolic pressure

Lowest pressure during ventricular relaxation.

Pulse pressure

Systolic – diastolic

Dicrotic notch

Brief backflow resulting in closing of semilunar valves

Pulse

results from alternating surges of pressure in artery occurring with each beat of left ventricle.



Average adult between 60-100.



Apical pulse counted from heart.


Bradycardia

slow heart rate

Tachycardia:

fast

Pulse deficit

lag time between apical and distal pulse

Asystole

flat line

Ventricular contraction

Pressure in ventricles rises


– AV valves close (lub)


– Ventricular pressure > arterial (aortic) pressure


– Semilunar valves open
– Ventricles contract
– Blood pumped out forcefully


– Late systole: ventricles relax, semilunar valves shut (dub)

lub

av valve closes

dub

semilunar shuts

Diastole:

Ventricular relaxation


– Low pressure in heart


– Blood flows passively into chambers


– AV valves open, semilunar valves closed


– Late diastole/atrial systole (atria contract)
