Mechanical ventilation with PEEP in patients who are hypovolemic tends to cause pulmonary artery pressure and systemic blood pressure to:

 Left ventricular failure will cause which of the following pressures to be elevated?      LVEDP pulmonary capillary wedge pressure pulmonary artery mean pressure pulmonary artery systolic pressure

If while monitoring the pulmonary artery pressure you are unable to get a distinct high and low value (systolic and diastolic pressures) on the monitor, the reasons could be the following:

Indicate the initial treatment for the above arrhythmia.

A normal nuchal thickness should measure less than ____________________ mm?  

What important information would you want to retrieve during your Sonographic exam to help determine which treatment option would be best for the patient?  (you may type)

OB Case Study: 1st Trimester Screen.  29 year old, G3, P1

Calculate the systemic vascular resistance given a cardiac output of 7.0 L/min, a blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg and a  CVP of 7 mmHg, and a heart rate of 120/min.   SVR:  ____________________________     If a patient has this SVR, what would the method of treatment be?_____

Which of the following are indicated for the arrhythmia from question #31? I.     Cardioversion if pulses are present and blood pressure is stable II.    CPR if patient is pulseless III.   Defibrillation if patient is pulseless IV.   Epinephrine if patient is pulseless V.    Amiodarone
