Inferior Vena Cava and Superior Vena Cava
This medication is commonly used for patients w/ afib RVR, but often causes hypotension with IV infusions
Quarter over Dime
Normal PA pressure- 25/10
Name the rhythm
1st degree heart block
This is used only for monitoring/diagnosis and does not assist the patient any way
Pulmonary Artery Catheter aka Swan Ganz
This valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle and has three leaflets
TRicuspid valve
This vasopressor works by aiding in water retention and smooth muscle constriction
Vasopressin
This value assesses the left side of the heart and should only be checked if theres an order to do so
Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure
Name the rhythm
SVT
How does IABP assist patients?
Increased coronary perfusion and decreased afterload (vacuum affect from balloon deflation)
This separates the left atrium and left ventricle, and has the highest rates of dysfunction
MitraL valve
This is the most common side effect of nitroglycerin
headache
2.5-4
Whats going on here? Bonus points if you can name WHERE.
Anterior MI: LAD
This should be ordered daily to verify IABP placement
CXR
These coronaries perfused the LV
LAD and LCx
We run IV fluids post heart cath to decrease the risk of this
Contrast Nephropathy
Also known as Right Atrial Pressure; normal range 2-8
Whats going on here? Bonus points if you can name WHERE things are going on.
Inferior MI; RCA, think bradycardia
Pressure sensing
These are perfused during diastole
Coronary arteries
IV antiplatelet medication (IV brilinta) that they may start in cath lab
Integrillin
The yellow lumen on the swan is used for what
PA pressure monitoring
Name that rhythm
Complete heart block
Rupture or perforation of pumonary artery, pulmonary infarction, and arrthymias
