CI -
correct answer ✅-Cardiac index
-take into account body surface area and is a more meaningful
value than CO


Normal cardiac index (CI) -
correct answer ✅2.5-4.0L/min/m2


CO and HR -
correct answer ✅-As heart rate increases
-Cardiac output increases up to a point
-Extreme bradycardia results in low CO and hypotension
-Increase in HR >> first sign of compensation for a low CO


Definition of stroke volume -
correct answer ✅-How many mL pr beat the left ventricle ejects


Stroke Volume and CO -
correct answer ✅-As stroke volume increases, cardiac output
increases
