Based on the following pressure recordings, where is the problem? CVP:     13 mmHg mPAP:   26 mmHg POWP:  24 mmHg C.O.:      3.8 L/min SVR:     1578 dynes.sec.cm-5

A tank of nitrous oxide (N2O) has a pressure of 222. torr at 35.0

A tank of helium (He) has a volume of 88.0 L. What is the new temperature in degrees Celsius (

All of the following cause an increase in CVP EXCEPT:

Serial measurements of the CaO2 and CvO2 have been measured on a patient who is mechanically ventilated after a AAA repair. Which of the following arterial-venous content differences recorded exhibit the greatest decrease in cardiac output?

Monitoring of the CVP is indicated when there is a need to assess:I. circulating blood volumeII. right ventricular functionIII. left ventricular preloadIV. degree of venous returnV. pulmonary vascular resistance

A patient is brought into the ED that was trapped in a burning office building and was found unconscious. What is the best way to improve oxygenation status of this patient?

A 19 year old man is brought to the ED after experiencing sharp chest pain while playing basketball. Upon observation of the young man, reveals a tall, thin man in severe distress. Despite being placed on a 10 L/min SM, the patient shows peripheral and central cyanosis. Percussion of the right side yields a dull percussion note and on the left it is noted to have a hyperresonant note. Additionally, a distinct shift in the trachea toward the right side is noted. Cardiac leads are attached and the ECG monitor shows sinus tachycardia with frequent multifocal PVCs. The B/P can only be palpated at 50 mmHg systolic, diaphoresis and cyanosis. Which of the following should the RT recommend?

A tank of helium (He) has a volume of 120.0 L at a temperature of 55.0
