Q

What is the normal range for pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) also known as Pulmonary artery occlusive pressure (PAOP)?

A

4-12mm/Hg

Study Tip: Elevation in this lab indicates left ventricular failure, hypovolemia, mitral regurgitation, or intracranial shunt whereas decreases may indicate hypovolemia or afterload reduction.

Q

What is the normal range for the International Normalized Ratio (INR)?

A

1.3 - 2.0

Q

What is the normal range for a Prothrombin Time (PT) level?

A

A

30 - 59 mL/min

62
Q

What is the normal range for blood glucose?

A

60

63

Indicates acceptable amount of blood flow to the kidneys to produce urine.

64
Q

Minimum Acceptable Patient Urine Output per 24 Hrs?

A

800 - 2000 mL per day

65
Q

What is the range for pre-hypertension?

A

120-139 mm/Hg systolic

80-89 mm/Hg diastolic
