Infant normals - ANS Pulse: 110 - 160
BP: 60/40 mm Hg
RR: 30 to 60
Birth Wt: 3000g
APGAR: 7 to 10

,CVP: 2 to 6 mm Hg (4 to 12 cmH2O)
PAP: 25/8 (mean 13 to 14)
PWP/PCWP: 4 to 12 mm Hg
CO: 4 to 8 LPM
CI: 2.5 to 4 L/min/sq m
UNACCEPTABLE bedside ventilatory parameters - ANS VC: < 10mL/kg (or < 2 x VT)
MIP/NIF: <20 cm H2O
RR: >20 bmp or < 8
Vt: < 5mL/kg
Ve: > 10 LPM
MEP: < 40 cm H2O
Vent Parameters... - ANS Tidal Volume: 5 to 10 mL/kg

, Airway resistance - ANS PIP-Plateau
Used to indicate the amount of pressure support neccessary to overcome airway resistance
Body box is most accurate measurement
Acid-fast Bacillus (AFB) - ANS Staining (Ziehl-Neelsen)
Dx of TB
Organisms appear red against blue background
Takes 2-3 weeks
- Albumin - ANS Normal 3.5-5.0 g/dl
Decreased levels are seen in liver disease
Angiogram - ANS X-rays of vessels (veins and arteries)
Evaluates blood flow to the brain, heart, lungs, etc.
- Anion Gap - ANS Normal: 8-18 MEq/L
Identifys the cause of metabolic acidosis
