Q

What is the cardiac index? What is the calculation?

A

It is the cardiac output adjusted for body surface area.

CI = CO/BSA

17
Q

What are the mail purposes of CVCs?

A

Monitor CVP and ScvO2

Invasive blood pressure monitoring

19
Q

What are the main purposes in using a PAC line?

A

CVP
SVR

20
Q

CardioQ peaks and base meanings

A

Taller peaks = better contractility

Wider bases = better volume status

21
