Patient Evaluation
Hemodynamics/Blood Pressure
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Hemodynamics Blood Pressure/Systolic, Diastolic Mean Arterial Pressure | - systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure (MAP) are monitored continuously by using an indwelling arterial catheter with a pressure transducer. |
Hemodynamics Blood Pressure/Adult Normal Pressure | - Systolic = 120mmHg - Diastolic = 80mmHg - Mean = 93mmHg |
Hemodynamics Mean Arterial Pressure/ Calculation | -( 2X diastolic + systolic ---------------------------------- 3 |
Hemodynamics Formula Explained | - because the heart spends twice as much time in diastole than systole. - the formula for mean pressure is 2 parts diastole + 1 part systole divided by 3 |
