Haemodynamics Made Easy
Case Discussion Gurmeet Kaur Gurdav Singh RN,CCRN,BSc,MSc
Case scenario 1 Ali, 3 year old presented with vomiting and loose bowel motion for 2 days with complain of drowsiness • • • • •
On examination: Airway is patent Eyes are sunken Mucosa is dry Peripherals – cold & clammy Capillary refill > 4 seconds
• • •
Vital signs H/Rate :130bpm R/Rate: 32bpm Blood Pressure : 68/40(53)mmhg
Management What is the clinical status of Ali? Hypotensive What is the likely cause? Hypovolemia (Volume Deficit) Treatment ? Replace volume with crystalloid and reassess Continue volume resuscitation to target endpoints
Measurable Elements • Mental status • Blood Pressure • Heart Rate • Urine Output • Central Venous Pressure (CVP)
ECHO Image Normal Heart
Hypovolemic Heart
Case scenario 2 Maria, 16 year old has abrasion & contusion over chest and abdomen with small cuts on face • • • •
On arrival Complain of drowsiness Airway is patent with severe breathlessness Equal breath sound Capillary refill > 5 seconds
• • • •
Vital Signs H/Rate : 120bpm R/Rate : 38bpm Blood Pressure : 78/45 (56) mmhg Saturation : 93%
Management What is the clinical status of Maria? Hypotensive with Respiratory Distress Treatment ? Started on Oxygen Administered Fluid Boluses
Reassessment Vital signs on Arrival
Vital Sign after Volume & Oxygen
H/Rate : 120bpm
H/Rate : 135bpm
R/Rate : 38bpm
R/Rate : 34bpm
B/P: 78/45 (56)mmhg
B/P: 75/43 (52)mmhg
Saturation : 93%
Saturation : 94%
No improvement in Clinical Status ďƒ˜ 2nd IV fluid bolus administered ďƒ˜ Peripheral Arterial Line inserted and started ABP monitoring
Reassessment 150 bpm 88%
76/45 (55)
Tachycardia Oxygen Demand Pulsus Paradoxus
Possible causes?
ECHO Image
Cardiac Tamponade
Cardiac Tamponade Accumulation of Fluid in pericardium space Prevent Ventricles to expand fully Reducing Ventricular Filling Deprived Systematic Circulation
Treatment : Pericardiocentesis
Case Scenario 3 Wong ,71 year old, present to A&E with acute episode shortness of breath,orthopnoeic Past Medical History •Hypertension •Type II Diabetes Mellitus •Ischemic Heart Disease
Vital Signs •Blood Pressure: 160/95 •HR: 120bpm •RR: 28 •SaO2: 86% •Temp: 36.8
Clinical Observation •noticeable swelling of the ankles •speaking in short sentences •JVP: raised •Chest- crepitus upon auscultation
Management What is the clinical status of Wong? Hypertensive with Respiratory Distress Treatment Oxygen therapy Antihypertensive medication Investigation CXR Bloods
Investigation? Bloods Full Blood Picture (FBC) :Normal Glucose: 6.2 Troponin: Normal K+: 4.8 (3.5-5.0) Na+: 132 (135-145) Urea: 7.5 (2.5-8.0) Creatinine: 118 (70-120)
Chest X-Ray Wong’s CXR
Cardiomegaly Congested
Normal CXR
Immediate Management
ďƒ˜ Diuresis - Intravenous Furosemide ďƒ˜ Vasodilation- Nitrate Glycerine Trinitrate Reduction central Blood Pressure Reduce Preload + Afterload Reduce Congestion
Further Investigation
ECHO - Global dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 23%
CHD (Congestive Heart Failure)
Congestive Heart Failure
CHD Goal Restore oxygenation Restore adequate perfusion to organs Restore fluid balance status
