Blood VolumeBlood Volume
• Composition of blood– Formed elements (45%)
RBC WBC Platelets
– Plasma (55%) 91% water Albumin, antibodies, clotting factors

Blood Volume (cont’d)Blood Volume (cont’d)
• Hydrostatic pressure– Created by myocardial contraction and
vasoconstriction.– Forces fluid out of the vascular space.– Disturbances can create emergencies.

Blood Volume (cont’d)Blood Volume (cont’d)
• Plasma oncotic pressure– The force exerted by large plasma
proteins in blood vessels.– Helps to keep fluid in the vascular
space.

• Effects of hydrostatic or oncotic pressure changes– High hydrostatic pressure– Low hydrostatic pressure– High oncotic pressure– Low oncotic pressure

Hydrostatic pressure pushes water out of the capillary. Plasma oncotic pressure pulls water into the capillary.

MicrocirculationMicrocirculation
• Microcirculation– Flow of blood through the smallest of
blood vessels Arterioles Venules Capillary beds
– Regulatory influences
![Page 17: TRANSITION SERIES Topics for the Advanced EMT CHAPTER Blood, Cardiac Function, and Vascular System 9 9](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e195503460f94b05869/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Microcirculation is the flow of blood through the smallest blood vessels: arterioles, capillaries, and venules. Precapillary sphincters control the flow of blood through the capillaries.
![Page 18: TRANSITION SERIES Topics for the Advanced EMT CHAPTER Blood, Cardiac Function, and Vascular System 9 9](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e195503460f94b05869/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Blood PressureBlood Pressure
• Blood pressure– Measure of cardiac output
B/P = CO x SVR
– Both cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance have direct effect on blood pressure
![Page 19: TRANSITION SERIES Topics for the Advanced EMT CHAPTER Blood, Cardiac Function, and Vascular System 9 9](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e195503460f94b05869/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Blood Pressure (cont’d)Blood Pressure (cont’d)
• Effect of baroreceptors and chemoreceptors– Baroreceptors
Detect blood pressure
– Chemoreceptors Detect blood chemistry (O2, CO2, H+)

Case StudyCase Study
• You are dispatched for a patient with a “chest injury” at 0230 hrs. Dispatch information was lacking due to the caller being hysterical and difficult to understand. As a precaution, PD and FD are also dispatched to the same residence. When you roll up on scene, 8-10 people are crowded around the front door of the home.
![Page 21: TRANSITION SERIES Topics for the Advanced EMT CHAPTER Blood, Cardiac Function, and Vascular System 9 9](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e195503460f94b05869/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Case Study (cont’d)Case Study (cont’d)
• What are your immediate concerns at this time?
• Given the presence of EMS and FD, should the house be approached?
![Page 23: TRANSITION SERIES Topics for the Advanced EMT CHAPTER Blood, Cardiac Function, and Vascular System 9 9](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e195503460f94b05869/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Case Study (cont’d)Case Study (cont’d)
• PD arrives on scene and quickly disperses the crowd of people on the porch. They wave you inside and as you approach an officer tells you that the patient is unresponsive inside. The “story” they get is that the male was cleaning his guns when one accidently discharged, resulting in the patient shooting himself.

SummarySummary
• Along with the body maintaining oxygenation, it must also provide for adequate peripheral perfusion.
• In situations of poor peripheral perfusion, blood will be shunted to the core organs.
• Early identification of a failing cardio-vascular system underscores the need for rapid transport to the hospital.
