Cardiovascular Support in ICU
Dr ben harris
2
Objectives Basic physiology (+small amount of biochemistry)
Indications for CVS support Drugs used for CVS support
3
Some basic physiology Cardiac output = ? Mean arterial pressure = ?
Stroke volume x heart rate Stroke volume? Mean arterial pressure = ? Cardiac output x systemic vascular resistance Diastolic BP + (1/3 systolic BP – diastolic BP) Oxygen Delivery Cardiac output x oxygen content (1.34 x SaO2 x Hb)
4
MAP Stroke volume Heart rate Systemic Vascular Resistance
5
MAP and CO
6
Inotropy / Chronotropy
MAP and SVR β1 Inotropy / Chronotropy β2 Vasodilation ⍺1 Vasoconstriction
7
Shock Cardiogenic Hypovolaemic Septic Anaphylactic Neurogenic
8
Shock
9
Clinical Signs of Shock
Confusion Delirium Tachycardia Hypotension ⬆ CRT Tachypnoea Cool / Clammy Warm / sweaty Oliguria Metabolic acidosis
10
Lactate
11
Anaesthesia
12
Anaesthesia
13
CVS Support Optimise circulating volume Optimise other physiology
Fluids Blood products in massive haemorrhage Optimise other physiology
14
CVS Support Non-catecholamines Ephedrine Metaraminol Phenylephrine
15
CVS Support Catecholamines
16
CVS Support Catecholamines Noradrenaline Adrenaline
Dopamine / dobutamine
17
CVS Support
18
CVS Support Vasopressin Milrinone Levosimendan
19
Summary MAP = CO x SVR 5 types of shock Peripheral vasopressors
Central Vasopressors Noradrenaline vasopressin adrenaline
