Hemodynamics and Shock Exam
Actual Questions and Answers 2026
pressure exerted by fluid in the right atrium? -
correct answer ✅Central Venous Pressure (CVP): indicative of
right-sided heart function
normal CVP? -
correct answer ✅0-6 mmHg
increases CVP? -
correct answer ✅fluid overload, cardiogenic and obstructive shock
decreases CVP? -
correct answer ✅decreased fluid in dehydration-hypovolemic
shock; distributive and anaphylactic shock
increased in conditions with increased fluid in PA and decrease
elasticity of PA? -
correct answer ✅PAP elevated: Hypervolemia or PAH
decreases PAP? -
correct answer ✅decreased amount of fluid-hypovolemia

Actual Questions and Answers 2026
measure of pressure in left ventricle at end-diastole (maximal
stretch) (LVEDP)? -
correct answer ✅Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or
pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP): indicative of left-sided
heart function
normal PCWP/PAOP? -
correct answer ✅6-12mmHg
normal PAP? -
correct answer ✅15-25/5-15
elevated PCWP/PAOP in conditions? -
correct answer ✅increase pressure in left ventricle at end diastole:
increased fluid, decreased elasticity of ventricle
Cardiogenic shock: MI, pulmonary edema, valve regurg
Decreased PCWP/PAOP in conditions? -
correct answer ✅decrease pressure in left ventricle at end
diastole: Hypovolemia
