Q

What do valves do?

A

They prevent the back flow of blood

2
Q

Where are valves located? (2)

A
  1. Heart

2. Veins

3
Q

Stenotic valves

A

Dont open enough

4
Q

Insufficiency/regurgitation

A

Dont close the valves enough

5
Q

Regurgitation

A

Having the valves not close properly and resulting in some back flow

6
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure equivalent to?

A

The weight of a column of blood

7
Q

What does hydrostatic pressure increase with?

A

Distance below the heart

8
Q

What is the hydrostatic pressure in a patient that is supine?

A

0 mmHg

9
Q

What is the hydrostatic pressure in a patient that is standing?

A

The pressure in veins is much higher

- 100mmHg

10
Q

What happens to the diaphragm during inspiration?

A

It moves down

11
Q

What happens to the thoracic volume during inspiration?

A

It increases

12
Q

What happens to the thoracic pressure during inspiration?

A

It decreases

13
Q

What does inspiration allow?

A

Air into the lungs

14
Q

What happens to the abdominal volume during inspiration?

A

It decreases

15
Q

What happens to the abdominal pressure during inspiration?

A

It increases

16
Q

What does inspiration stop?

A

Venous return from the lungs

- the valves shut

17
Q

What are examples of venous hemodynamic factors?

A
  1. Hydrostatic pressure
  2. Inspiration
  3. Valsalva
  4. Expiration
18
Q

Valsalva

A

Patient can be asked hold their breath and ‘bear down

19
Q

What happens to the abdominal pressure during valsalva?

A

It increases

20
Q

What does valsalva stop?

A

Venous return from the legs

21
Q

What happens to the diaphragm during expiration?

A

It moves up

22

What happens to the thoracic volume during expiration?

A

It decreases

23
Q

What happens to the thoracic pressure during expiration?

A

It increases

24
Q

What happens to the abdominal volume during expiration?

A

It increases

25
Q

What happens to the abdominal pressure during expiration?

A

it decreases

26
Q

What does expiration allow?

A

Venous blood return from the legs

- valves open

27
Q

When are the valves closed?

A

During inspiration and valsalva

28
Q

When are the valves open?

A

During expiration
