How do IABP affect coronary perfusion pressure and afterload?

increase and decrease

A patient undergoing a screening colonoscopy following recent GI bleed is now hypotensive, decreased etco2, progressing hypoxemia, and tachycardic. What could be considered an initial treatment option assuming the diagnosis?

Interventional procedure: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy vs catheter directed thrombolysis

200

Slow, full, and tight…you better watch these hemodynamics during anesthesia or risk death in patients with this?

Aortic Stenosis

200

This lesion is the most common valvular heart lesion in patients with rheumatic heart disease

Mitral Stenosis

200

The RAAS system affects sodium, SVR, aldosterone in what way?

Increase sodium reabsorption via AT2, increase SVR via smooth muscle contraction via AT1, increase aldosterone which promotes sodium absorption and smooth muscle proliferation

A 63-year-old man with a history of congestive heart failure and left ventricular dilation is scheduled for carotid endarterectomy. During carotid cross-clamping, the surgeon requests that systolic blood pressure be increased from 100 to 160 mmHg. Compared with an identical patient with normal left ventricular size, what is the effect of this change in blood pressure on this patient's myocardial oxygen consumption?

Increase
