100
The tank of fluid feeding the heart.
What is preload?
100
measurement of the blood pressure in the right atrium and vena cava
What is CVP?
100
Calculated by dividing CO by BSA and thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual
What is CI?
100
2-6 mmHg
What is normal CVP?
100
enlargement of the right ventricle caused by primary lung disease
What is cor pulmonale?
200
the strength and rate of cardiac contractions.
What is contractility?
200
a measure of the blood pressure found in the pulmonary artery
What is PAP?
200
Measures amount of work required by right ventricle to pump blood and Reflects contractility of right ventricle
What is RVSWI?
200
25/10 mmHg or a mean 15mmHg
What is PAP?
200
blood disorder consisting of decrease in volume of circulating blood.
What is hypovolemia?
300
the resistance of the vessel to flow from the heart.
What is afterload?
300
the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch.
What is PCWP?
300
Measurement reflects afterload of right ventricle
What is PVR?
300
4-8 L/min or an average of 5 L/min
What is CO?
300
blockage of pulmonary artery by fat, air tumor, or thrombus that usually arises from a peripheral vein.
What is a pulmonary embolism?
400
Volume of blood ejected by ventricles with each contraction
What is stroke volume?
400
the volume of blood being pumped by the heart in one minute
What is the CO?
400
Measurement reflects afterload of left ventricle
What is SVR?
400
5-10 mmHg
What is PCWP?
400
The MAP of the systemic system if systolic pressure is 140 mmHg and diastolic is 90 mmHg
What is 107 mmHg?
500
Reflects contractility of the heart, overall blood volume status, and amount of venous return. Calculated by SV/BSA.
What is stroke volume index?
500
device used to directly measure hemodynamic values.
What is a Pulmonary Artery Catheter?
500
As blood flows through pulmonary and then systemic vascular system, there is resistance to flow
What is vascular resistance?
500
20-120 dynes x sec x cm
What is PVR?
500
The PEEP level that has the least hemodynamic compromise and the maximum total oxygen delivery
What is "best or optimal peep"?
