Cvp and wedge waveforms - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

1. A nurse is evaluating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a client who has sustained multiple traumas. Which of the following interpretations of a low CVP pressure should the nurse make? A. Fluid overload Rationale: The CVP is the pressure in the vena cava, or right atrium, and is reflective of preload. A client who has fluid overload would have a high CVP value. B. Left ventricular failure Rationale: Left ventricular failure can be detected by an elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure...

Nitroprusside purpose - Answer- decreases preload and afterload by vasodilation (mainly afterload) Dobutamine mechanism of action - Answer- contractility Dopamine at a low-end dose "renal dose" - Answer- 0.5-4mcg/kg/min increases renal and mesentric perfusion Dopamine at a mid-range dose - Answer- 4-10mcg/kg/min increases contractility and heart rate Dopamine at a high-range dose - Answer- greater than 10mcg/kg/min vasoconstriction and increases BP Dopamine and Levophed inf...
