PVR Equation
[(MPAP-PCWP) / CO] x 80
MPAP (MAP) Equation
Systolic + (Diastolic x 2) / 3
SVR Equation
[(MAP-CVP) / CO] x 80
Blood pressure moves from ______ to _________
high pressures to low pressures
Flow of Blood
r heart, lungs, l heart, systemic system
Why would CVP be low and how to fix
dehydration, hypovolemia or vasoconstriction. Fix with fluids or vasoconstriction drugs
Why would CVP be high and how do you fix it
fluid overload. fix with diuretic
CVP relates to the function of________________
right heart (RH Failure, Cor Pulmonale)
When PAP is high
may be due to blockage in lungs or left heart (pulmonary embolism, air embolism, pulmonary hypertension)
How to get PCWP reading
balloon must be inflated and wedged in the pulmonary artery
PCWP relates to the function of ___________
left heart (mitral valve stenosis, CHF, Pulmonary Edema, High PEEP
Increase in C(a-v)O2 means ___________ CO
decreased
Decreased C(a-v)O2 means ______________ CO
increased
How do you treat decreased Cardiac Output
cardiac inotropic and/or chronotropic medications
