Hemodynamics norms Matching
Indexed measurements allow the normals to be standardized therefore account for the patients different body sizes. |
The stretch on the ventricle muscle fibers before contraction. |
Pulmonary artery pressure. (PAP) |
Measured with Swans.20 to 30/6 to 15 torr.Waveform has diacrotic notch. |
The resistance of external factors that oppose ventricular contraction. |
Right ventricle pressure. (RVP) |
Measured with Swans.20 to 30/2 to 6 torr. |
Right atrial pressure or fluid levels. Norm 2-6 torr. |
If there is no narrowing or dysfunction of the valve... |
Pressures in the atrium will be the same as in the ventricles at the end of diastole. |
Right atrium pressure. (RAP) |
Measured with CVP or Swans.2 to 6 torr. |
