Is it too slow? Do I need to shock it back into place? Assessing Pulse Pressure Rating Palpable Pulses 0 = No Pulse +1 = Weak Pulses = (not good) +2 = Normal Pulses = (good) +3 = Bounding Pulses = (not good) Example of use: “Pt has +3 pulses at the Left Radial site!” Heart Rate Heart Rate Influenced by Chronotropic Determined by the rate of spontaneous depolarization at the SA node, which is (your P wave) Can be modified by the Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic and Parasympathetic tones The rate is also influenced by: Street Drugs ETOH RX medications Figure 04.F07: Electrical conduction through the heart Chiras, D.

Mean Arterial Pressure Normal (MAP) is 70-110 mmHg Minimal (MAP) to perfuse Kidney is 55-65 mmHg Is a measurement of End Organ Perfusion Pressures Helps determine the actual pressure of blood against the arterial walls MAP is part of the formula for calculating Cerebral Perfusion Pressures (CPP = MAP – ICP) Calculated by: (Diastolic x 2) + Systolic 3 MAP Clinical Significance 1. The rate at which the heart pumps blood into the large arteries 2. The rate of blood flow out of the large arteries to enter smaller arteries and arterioles 3. Arterial wall compliance. Suppose the ventricles spent an eh of time in systole and diastole. In that case, the mean arterial pressure could simply be the mathematical average of systolic and diastolic pressure values. In reality, however, the ventricles spend approximately one-third (1/3) of their time in systole and two-thirds (2/3) in diastole 4. MAP allows the Paramedic to have a better clinical evaluation of blood pressure as MAP is physiological to arterial wall compensation or disease MAP = CO x Stroke Volume MAP Stroke Volume High Afterload Low Afterload 1.

Treatment to Increase Preload “Fill the tank” Treatment for Low Diastolic pressures Fluids, Fluids, Fluids, Fluids, Fluids, Fluids, Fluids….!!!!!!!!!!!! Blood replacement for hemorrhagic shock Cardiac dysrhythmias drugs to control HR so we can have better Cardiac Output Pacemaker is a potential tx for rate control AFIB Sick Sinus Syndrome Systolic = Afterload = Contraction Diastolic = Preload = Filling Time Fluid Challenges A Fluid Challenge is using a bolus of isotonic fluid (250ml, 500ml) Under pressure….!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To Increase Preload Once the fluid challenge is complete, obtain a B/P SBP goes up > 20mmhg = Rapid Responder SBP goes up within 2-5min = Transient Responder SBP does not change = Reassess and Find the Source Consider more Fluids Consider Blood Consider Pressors Treatment to Decrease Preload “Empty the Tank” Treatment Examples for High Diastolic pressures High blood pressure and high pulmonary pressures Diuretics Lasix, Bumex, Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) Dialysis Contractility Contractility “The Power of the Cardiac Muscle.” Influenced by Inotropic effects The ability of the myocardium to contract It needs a functioning Electrical System (EKG) Three Factors Influencing Contractility DIC Dromotropic – Inotropic –Chronotropic Cardiac Electrical Impulse Cardiac Contractility Heart Rate Chronotropic Drugs Affects the rate and rhythm produced by the SA node Dromotropic Drugs Affects the conduction speed in the AV node Inotropic Drugs Alters the force of energy of muscular contraction Figure 04.F07: Electrical conduction through the heart Chiras, D.

Central Venous Pressure (CVP)  Is a measurement of preload.  CVP measures pressures in the vena cava blood RETURNING to the right atrium and ventricle.  Abdominal and Thoracic pressure variations will affect CVP.  CVP is dependent on BLOOD VOLUME.  When the CVP is high > 8-12 mmHg there is too much volume  Example is fluid volume overload  When the CVP is low < 0 mmHg there is no volume  Example is hypovolemia Paramedic CVP Exam Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)  It’s a measurement of Afterload  SVR is influenced by the diameter of the vessels.  SVR Is resistance within the circulatory system that creates BLOOD PRESSURE.  Is used to maintain organ perfusion and cardiac output.  When SVR is high, there is increased resistance.  Example: Hypertension would have an >1200 mmHg SVR.  When SVR is low, there is no resistance  Example: Hypotension would have a decreased < 800 mmHg SVR. What Other Key Elements That Affect Hemodynamics?  Pressures with manual and mechanical ventilation  Medications  Hormones and Receptors  Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium)  Kidneys  Heart diseases  Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)  Pulmonary diseases CVP & BVM  Positive Pressures Ventilations from a BVM may decrease venous return to the right heart.  It is important only to provide the correct amount of volume and pressure as needed. Anything > 15 cmH20 will start impeding CVP.  BVM inspiratory pressures compared to CVP  5 cmH20 is = to 4 mmHg  10 cmH20 is = to 7 mmHg  15 cmH20 is = to 11 mmHg  20 cmH20 is = to 15 mmHg Manometers Hemodynamics Medications that influence hemodynamics The Blockers (ABCDs) A = Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARBs) A = Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors(ACE) B = Beta Blockers C = Calcium Channel Blockers D = Digoxin, Digitalis, Diuretics Hemodynamic Compensation Kidney’s It filters waste products keeping acid-base homeostasis Manages preload via urine It starts the Renin-Angiotensin System if this is disturbed RAS affects preload, afterload, cardiac output Carotid Bodies Chemoreceptors Detects changes in PaCO2 Afterload, and cardiac output, are affected High-pressure Arteries and low-pressure Cardiopulmonary Beroreceptors Detects acute changes in blood pressures Afterload, preload, cardiac output, and heart rate is affected Hemodynamic Compensation Adrenergic receptors (alpha & beta) a1- Receptors, a-2 Receptors & β1-Receptors β2- Receptors β3-Receptors It acts on stress responses Sympathetic Nervous System “fight or flight” It picks up on the release of Epinephrine (catecholamine) Both alpha and beta affect Hemodynamics a1- Receptors Works with CA++ channels at the cellular level Involved with smooth muscle contractions Helps with NA+ absorption in the Kidney’s Drugs Given by EMS Phenylephrine (neo-synephrine) Causes Vasoconstriction to Blood Vessels Kidney’s Brain a2- Receptors At the Presynaptic receptors It slows down NA+ uptake at the cell levels Inhibits the release of catecholamines Smooth muscle relaxation 3 subtypes: a2A = slows insulin release in the pancreas when BS lowers a2B = pumps out glucagon in the pancreas when BS lowers a2C= contraction of GI sphincters EMS treatment for Hypoglycemic Treatment for food bolus β1-Receptors Located in Kidney’s and Heart (primary in cardiac) Increase Renin secretion (RAAS) Affects all DIC Affects cardiac output Affects end-organ perfusion Patients who need to block all beta receptors take Beta Blockers! β2-Receptors Located in the Lungs Smooth muscle relaxant for bronchi and GI Stimulates insulin secretion Thickens secretions of salivary glands Inhibit histamine and prostaglandin release Releases Renin EMS treatment that utilizes this effect: Albuterol β3-Receptors Less clinically relevant Located in your adipose tissues Used for Bladder incontinence Good weight loss drug with minimal side effects.
