Causes of decreased PAP, CVP/RAP, causes of decreased Hypovolemia and
PAOP venodilation
hypervolemia, increased peripheral vas-
cular resistance (due to decreased
PaO2, PE, COPD, ARDS, Pulm HTN),
mitral stenosis/insuff, aortic stenosis, LV
Causes of increased PAP ischemia, infarct, failure, pericardial tam-
ponade, increased intrapleural pressure
due to PEEP, auto PEEP, tension pneu-
mo, increased intra-abdominal pressure,
left-to-right intracardiac shunt.
Hypervolemia, impedance to RA emp-
tying due to: tricuspid stenosis, RV
ischemia/infarct/failure, increased PVR
(due to decreased PaO2, PE, COPD,
