Answer

  1. Define Cardiac Index (CI).

    The Cardiac Index (CI) is a hemodynamic parameter that relates the cardiac output (CO) from the left ventricle in one minute to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual.

  2. State the formula for cardiac index.

    Cardiac Index (CI) = Cardiac Output (CO) / Body Surface Area (BSA)

  3. What is the normal value for cardiac index?

    The normal value for cardiac index is typically 2.5 to 4.0 L/min/m².

  4. Define Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR).

    Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) is the resistance offered by the systemic circulation, which must be overcome to push blood through the circulatory system.

  5. State the formula used to calculate SVR.

    SVR = (Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) - Central Venous Pressure (CVP)) / Cardiac Output (CO) × 80

  6. The normal value for SVR is ________________.

    The normal value for SVR is typically 700 to 1600 dynes·sec/cm5.

  7. What is the factor used to convert mm Hg/L/min to dynes?

    The factor used to convert mm Hg/L/min to dynes is 80.

  8. List two values that may alter the SVR.
    1. Vasodilation
    2. Vasoconstriction
