1
Q

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) of what is acceptable in ICU?

A

60 - 80 mmHg

Too low (i.e. <60) could mean vital organs will not be getting enough oxygen perfusion, can become hypoxic and ischemic

2
Q

What are the acceptable values for CVP (Central Venous Pressure)?

A

5 - 15 cmH2O

3
Q

Acceptable values for HR in ICU?

A

60 - 100

4
Q

What is ‘RASS’ and what does it range from?

A

Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale

+4 = Combative (overly combative, violent, immediate danger to staff)
TO
-5 = Unarousable (no response to voice or physical stimulation

5
Q

What is ‘0’ on the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS)?

A

0 = Alert and Calm

6
Q

CPP =

A

CPP = MAP - ICP

7
Q

ICP (Intercranial Pressure) normative?

A

7-15 mmHg

8
Q

ARDS can be suggested by a PAO2:FiO2 (PF) ratio of

A

< 200

9
Q

Normal CI? (Cardiac Index)

A

2.5 to 4L/min

10
Q

What does Cardiac Index relate to?

A

Cardiac output from left ventricle in one minute to body surface area [thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual]

11
Q

PCWP acceptable values in ICU? [Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure]

A

2 - 12

12
Q

CO normal?

A

4 - 7L / min
