Hemodyamic Values

PVR

20-120 resistance needed to be overcome in order to push blood through the pulmonary valve and out into the pulmonary artery

SVR

770-1500 resistance needed to be overcome in order to push blood through the aortic valve and out into the aorta generally as SVR increases CO falls

SV

Amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with each contraction 60-130mL per contraction

CI

More specific measurement than CO as it takes into account the individuals actual body size 2.5-4.2L/min/m2

CVP/RAP

Pressure created by volume of blood in right heart at end-diastole Tells fluid balance and responsiveness to fluid administration, R preload 2-6

PAOP/PAWP

Pressure created by volume of blood in the left heart at end diastole L preload 8-12 mmHg

CO

SV x HR Amount of blood pumped out by a ventricle every minute 4-8L/min
