Q

Goal placement of PAC and details about zone

A

west lung zone III. bulk of pulmonary blood flow is in this region. provides most accurate estimate of LVEDP

zone III: arterial pressure >venous pressure>alveolus pressure

  • *it is the DEPENDENT region of lungs
  • base when sitting
  • towards back when supine
  • towards chest when prone
  • towards dependent lung in lateral

*tip in zone I or II –> variations in PAOP, lost a and v waves, PAOP>PADP
