You are the RRT responding to a respiratory arrest in a non-ICU area. You have a resuscitation bag and mask but no oxygen flow meter available. As you begin to provide manual ventilation the patient on room air, you observe that the SpO2 rises from 76% to 92% over 2-3 minutes. You can attribute this improvement to

The normal range for central venous pressure (CVP) in an adult is [lowpressure] to [highpressure] mmHg.

When arterial pressure in the aorta falls, the baroreceptors and control center in the medulla respond by causing the: Heart rate to increase Abdominal arterioles to constrict Systemic veins to dilate Myocardium to contract more forcefully

Given the following blood pressure reading, calculate the mean arterial pressure:  170/92
