cardi-OMG
Organized electrical activity but no pulse
What is PEA?
The "A" in the Liberation Bundle
What is assess, manage, and treat pain?
This hemodynamic value represents the pressure in the thoracic vena cava near the right atrium
What is CVP (Central Venous Pressure)?
The CPP is 55 and the ICP is 15, which indicates the the MAP is this.
What is 70?
This biomarker reflects tissue hypoperfusion.
What is lactate?
Recommended door to balloon time for a STEMI
What is 90 minutes?
The standard frequency of delirium assessments for ICU patients.
What is every 12 hours and PRN?
This waveform feature occurs immediately after systole and represents closure of the aortic valve
What is the dicrotic notch?
The EVD is leveled to this anatomical landmark.
What is the tragus? (foramen of monro)
Septic shock falls in this category of shock.
What is distributive shock?
ST elevation in leads V3-V4 indicates infarction in this area of the heart normally supplied by the Left Anterior Descending artery
What is the anterior region?
Tool used to titrate sedation and guide ICU liberation.
What is the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS)?
This test involves quickly pulling and releasing the flush device to evaluate the dynamic response of the arterial line system
What is the square waveform test?
In a patient with increased ICP, fever can cause secondary injury because it increases this.
What is cerebral metabolic demand?
The standard dose of vasopressin (u/min).
What is 0.03?
This medication is given by rapid IV push followed by a 20mL NS flush and is used to terminate SVT
What is Adenosine?
Alpha-2 agonist sedative that reduces delirium risk and allows patients to be more arousable than other agents.
What is Precedex? (Dexmedetomidine)
This hemodynamic parameter represents the pressure in the arteries during ventricular contraction
This concept describes the relationship between brain tissue, blood and CSF within the fixed volume of the skull.
What is the Monro-Kellie doctrine?
The recommended volume of crystalloid for initial fluid resuscitation in septic shock.
What is 30mL/kg?
A condition characterized by low cardiac output, hypotension and poor tissue perfusion requiring inotropic support
What is cardiogenic shock?
Rare but life threatening condition characterized by elevated triglycerides and metabolic acidosis caused by prolonged use of high dose Propofol infusions
What is Propofol Related Infusion Syndrome (PRIS)?
This component of the arterial line system converts pressure signals into electrical signals for the monitor
What is the transducer?
Either of these two adjustments on the ventilator can result in a lower ICP by causing cerebral vasoconstriction.
What is increasing the respiratory rate or increasing the tidal volume? (also acceptable is increasing minute ventilation, increasing PS, increasing pressure control)
This coagulation abnormality may occur in severe sepsis due to systemic activation of clotting.
What is disseminated intravascular coagulation?
