blood pressure Flashcards
1
Q
arterial blood pressure
A
rises and falls corresponding to the cardiac cycle
2
Q
systolic BP
A
when blood is forced out of the heart ( Vent.Cont) and the pressure in the arteries risies sharply
3
Q
Diastolic BP
A
lowest pressure that remains prior to the next ventricular contraction
4
Q
normal blood pressure
A
120/80-90/60
5
Q
BP during pulmonary circulation
A
25/8
6
Q
Mean Arterial Pressure
A
- MAP is calculated systolic/diastolic
- SBP + 2(DBP/3)
- normal 80-100
7
Q
what does a MAP below 60 indicate
A
reduced blood flow to the brain and kidneys and organ failure can occure quickly
