Hemodynamic Abnormalities

1. Using the hemodynamic values below explain in detail what clinical scenario (condition) would the values indicate. Your answer should include: the patient diagnosis, treatment of the diagnosis and normal values of all hemodynamic indices.

A.

CVP = 6 torr

PAP = 22 torr

PCWP = 7 torr

C.O. = 4 LPM

B.

CVP = 1 torr

PAP = 11 torr

PCWP = 6 torr

C.O. = 3.5 LPM

C.

CVP = 8 torr

PAP = 20 torr

PCWP = 12 torr

C.O. = 5 LPM

D.

CVP = 8 torr

PAP = 14 torr

PCWP = 8 torr

C.O. = 6 LPM

E.

CVP = 9 torr

PAP = 17 torr

PCWP = 10 torr

C.O. = 9.6 LPM

2. In addition to using hemodynamic values, how can we differentiate between cardiogenic pulmonary edema and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema?

3. Pick one cause for high SVO2 and one cause for low SVO2 and discuss treatments for each.

4. Why is continuous mixed venous saturation used in cardiac surgery patients?
