KETTER=NG -PAT=ENT ASSESSMENT UPDATED QUEST=ONS AND ACCURATE ANSWERS VER=F=ED COMPLETE DOCUMENT FOR STUDY A patient in the intensive care unit has the following hemodynamic measurements: CVP: 6 mm:g Mean PAP: 13 mm:g PCWP: 7 mm:g MAP: 86 mm:g Cardiac output (QT): 4.0 L/min Cardiac index (Q=): 2.1 L/min/m2 What is the systemic vascular resistance? 1600dynes/s/cm-5 Explanation- MAP minus CVP divided by Cardiac output then multiple by 80 to get dynes. Normal Systemic vascular resistant normal values are 20mmhg or 1600 dynes. The RT is monitoring a patient in a shock trauma unit who sustained a MVC. The patient has a pulmonary artery catheter in place. While assessing the pressure waveform, the RT notes that there is no visible difference in the systolic and diastolic pressures. This can most likely be explained by.... A. increased perfusion B. catheter movement C. air bubble in the catheter D. inflated balloonD A patient's systemic vascular resistance value has been steadily increasing over the last several hours. The most likely explanation for the change in the value is... A. hypoxemia B. vasoconstricting agents C. COPD D. diuretic therapy B A patient in the emergency department has frothy secretions, moist crackles, and tachypnea. The patient has
