Summary Introduction

To review:

Match the hemodynamic parameter, that is, the mean pulmonary artery pressure with the most closely related normal range from the options given below.

a) 4-8 L/min

b) 800-1500 dynes × sec × cm-5

c) 60-130 mL

d) 2-8 mm Hg

e) 20-120 dynes × sec × cm-5

f) 9-18 mm Hg

g) 30-65 mL/beat/m2

h) 80 mm Hg

i) 2.5-4.2 L/min/m2

j) 4-12 mm Hg

k) 40-60 g m/m2

l) 7-12 g m/m2

Introduction:

Hemodynamic status of a person is determined on the bedside itself. It is checked to determine the circulation of blood flow inside the body. It is measured with a pulmonary artery catheter. Hemodynamic status includes right atrial pressure (RAP), central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary artery pressure, cardiac output, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Pulmonary hypertension is a condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases. The normal range of mean pulmonary artery pressure is 9-18 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury). When the range reaches above 25 mm Hg, it is known as pulmonary hypertension. This arises as a complication of the pulmonary or cardiac disease.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the mean pulmonary artery pressure can be correctly matched with option (f).

10. A patient with an IBW of 68 kg is intubated and being mechanically ventilated with VC-CMV, f = 12/min, and VT = 470 mL. The patient has a combined respiratory rate of 25/min. The ABG results are: pH 7.56, PaCO2 26 mm Hg, and HCO − 22 mEq/L. The most appropriate action is to do which of the following?a. Decrease the set frequency to 8/min.b. Decrease the set tidal volume to 300 mL.c. Sedate and paralyze the patient.d. Change the mode to VC-IMV (Volume Control intermittent mandatory ventilation).
A high flow device  A. Delivers a minimum of 6 L/min to the patient  B. The device flow must meet or exceed a patient's inspiratory demand  C. Is theoretical; there is no such thing as a high flow device  D. Should never be utilized with a patient with lung disease
6. A volume of 750 mL is started at 0303 at a rate of 96 mL/hr. (A) Calculate infusion time. (B) Calculate completion time.  7. An IV of 1000 ml was scheduled to run in 12 hr. After 4 hr, only 220 mL have infused. The set calibration is 20 gtt/mL. Recalculate the gtt/min flow rate.  8. IV infusion time is 10 hr 7 min which started at 9:42 am. When will it complete?  9. The order is for 150 mg of medication to infuse every 8 hours. The recommended dosage range is 3-12 mg/kg/day. The child weighs 40.1 kg. (A) What is dosage range per day? (B) What is daily dosage ordered?  (C) Is the ordered dose a safe dose?  10. Calculate BSA of an adolescent whos 55 inches and 105 lbs.
