A comprehensive overview of hemodynamics and acute kidney injury (aki), covering key concepts, definitions, and clinical applications. It includes detailed explanations of hemodynamic parameters, such as cardiac output, stroke volume, preload, afterload, and central venous pressure (cvp), along with their clinical significance and management strategies. The document also delves into the different phases of aki, including prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal aki, outlining their causes, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic tests. Additionally, it discusses chronic kidney disease (ckd), its causes, complications, and management strategies, including peritoneal dialysis. Valuable for students and professionals in the healthcare field seeking to enhance their understanding of hemodynamics and aki.

Hemodynamics - ANSWER bloods ability to create pressure flow and deliver O2;measurement of pressure, flow, & oxygenation in CV system; measures power of heart to pump blood to body parts invasive measuring devices - ANSWER arterial line, triple/double lumen, PA catheter arterial line measures. - ANSWER continuous read out of BP triple/double lumen measures. - ANSWER CVP PA catheter measures. - ANSWER CVP, PCWP, CO, SVR noninvasive measuring devices - ANSWER NIBP, pulse oximetry/ SaO2, SvO why use hemodynamics - ANSWER used as a diagnostic tool and gives us a better totalpicture of pt and helps us control more of their care
hemodynamics shows - ANSWER heart function, fluid status, baseline, early detection ofpressure changes, and can compare trends cardiac output - ANSWER volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle in 1 min formula for cardiac output - ANS CO = HR x SV normal range for cardiac output - ANS 4-8 L/min
cardiac index - ANS cardiac output based on body surface area formula for cardiac index - ANS CI = CO/BSA normal ranges of CI - ANS 2.2-4 L/ min/ m2stroke volume - ANS volume of blood ejected from the L ventricle with each contraction/ beat normal range of stroke volume - ANSWER 60-150 mL/ beat (usually 50% of total ventriclevolume)
preload volume - ANSWER amount of volume or fiber stretch in hearts ventricle at end ofdiastole (just before systole), volume in is volume out
frank starlings law - ANSWER "the greater the stretch, the greater the push" compliance is - ANSWER the stiffness or thickness of hearts walls volume of the right ventricle - ANSWER low-pressure system, thin wall, no valve,pumped to the lungs
PVR (Pulmonary vascular resistance)- ANSWER Resistance of the blood flow by thepulmonary vessels.
left ventricular volume - ANSWER high-pressure system, thick wall, pumpedsystemically
SVR - Systemic vascular resistance- ANSWER the resistance of blood flow by thesystemic vessels.
CVP - Central Venous Pressure- ANSWER pressure of right atrium
ejection fraction ("the pump") - ANSWER >50-65% ventricle volume pumped, measuredby heart cath and echo
positive inotropes - ANSWER increase contraction via beta 1 stimulation, decreasesheartrate
negative inotropes - ANSWER decrease contraction/ myocardial O2 demand, increasesheartrate *never give to a dry heart
arterial pressure - ANSWER measure of the pressure exerted by the blood against thewalls of the arterial system
MAP - ANSWER MAP= 2/3 diastolic + 1/3 systolic complications of art lines - ANSWER bleeding (dislodged catheter, disconnect line)infection, culture tip, change site/line thrombus formation, Allen test distal circulation, pulses, skin color, numbness central lines - ANSWER used to obtain measurements of pressure, CVP, PCWP, CO andto give volume
complications of central lines - ANSWER infection, air embolus, thrombus, arrhythmias,bleeding, pulmonary rupture, PA cath, balloon rupture, PA cath
pulmonary artery catheter - ANSWER central line terminating in the pulmonary artery,used to determine heart function and volume status, can be advanced to pulmonary capillary to get wedge pressure CVP normal range - ANSWER 2-8 mmHg
PWCP normal range - ANSWER 6-12 mmHg nursing responsibilities for hemodynamics - ANSWER patient & family teaching,informed consent, setup preparation/assist, hemodynamic monitoring (pressures, waveforms, alarms, re-zero) intra-aortic balloon pump/ ventricular arterial device - ANSWER decreases leftventricular workload, increases myocardial perfusion, augments circulation
acute kidney injury - ANSWER rapid onset, can be reversible chronic kidney disease - ANSWER develops over time, not reversible but is manageable,treat with dialysis or transplant
phases of renal failure - ANSWER 1. azotemia
Uremia - ANSWER symptomatic azotemia, causes ischemia, hypovolemia, nephrotoxicagents
Prerenal AKI - ANSWER 70% of AKIs, external to kidney Causes of prerenal AKI - ANSWER intravascular volume depletion, decreased CO,altered vascular resistance
Intrarenal AKI - ANSWER 25% of AKIs, direct damage to renal tissue d/t ischemia ornephrotoxic agents
disorders clinical manifestations of oliguria - ANSWER altered mental status, hyperreflexia,anorexia, N/V, reduced/absent bowel sounds, uremic syndrome, cardiac dysrhythmias
recovery phase - ANSWER diuresis!! gradual renal recovery as evidenced by a slowdecrease in BUN and CR and increase in GFR
why is diuresis dangerous - ANS can cause hypovolemia, hyponatremia, andhypokalemia diagnostic tests for AKIs - ANS urinalysis, BUN, Cr, electrolytes, CBC, ABGs, renal US,angiogram, IVP, CT, MRI, renal biopsy goals for AKI - ANS CATCH IT EARLY! no permanent kidney function loss, I&O balance, electrolytes WNL, pt understandsdisease process
interventions for AKI - ANS treat cause, fluid management, hyperkalemia tx, infection,nutrition, respiratory, skin
cause treatment for AKI- ANSWER hypovolemia? give fluidsdecressed CO? give vasopressors arrhythmias? electrolyte balance fluid management for AKI- ANSWER daily weights, I&Os, fluid replacement/ restriction hyperkalemia tx for AKI- ANSWER hemodialysis, insulin drip (fast but temp), kayexalate,calcium gluconate IV, bicarb, diet restriction
infection tx for AKI- ANSWER antibiotics, be careful tho bc some drugs are hard onkidneys
nutritional tx for AKI - ANSWER low protein, low K, low Na, CHO, fats, TPN/lipids withsupplements, tube feedings
respiratory tx for AKI - ANSWER monitor for pulmonary edema skin care for AKI - ANSWER q2 turn, mouth care, ROM q chronic kidney disease (CKD) - ANSWER can progress from AKI, progressive,irreversible, destruction of nephrons & scar tissue, effects every organ in body
causes of CKD - ANS HTN, diabetes, chronic kidney infection/ disease, connectivetissue disorders goals for CKD - ANS identify s/sx of stages of CRF, comply with therapeutic regimen,participate in decision marking, establish effective coping mechanisms CKD pts are at risk for - ANS hyperkalemia, fluid volume excess, neurotoxicity, HTN,renal osteodystrophy, anemia, complications of drug therapy, and nutrition problems
interventions for fluid volume excess (CKD) - ANSWER daily weight, monitor labs,monitor BP, fluid/ diet restrictions, administer diuretics
interventions for neurotoxicity (CKD) - ANSWER sedatives, anticonvulsants interventions for HTN (CKD) - ANSWER VS, fluid/ diet restrictions, low Na PO4 and K,CCBs, ACE inhibitors, monitor edema
interventions for renal osteodystrophy - ANSWER prevent acidosis, increase calciumand decrease phosphate
nutrition interventions for CKD - ANSWER restrict protein, limit K PO4 and Na
external AV shunt - ANSWER consists of a cannula w/ a rubber septum through which aneedle may be inserted for drawing blood, dangerous bc infection, long term
internal AV shunt - ANSWER blended artery and vein, need to wait to use -needs tomature-, long term
complications of HD - ANSWER hypotension, infection/sepsis, muscle cramps, bloodloss, hepatitis
continuous renal replacement therapy - ANSWER 24/7, for pts who can't tolerate HD,exchange is slower, removes less volume/hr than HD, done in ICU setting, strict I&Os, adjust machine every hr to get off what you need
