it is the pa sys - the pa dyastolic / right atrial pressure- can
get these numbers from swan
normal is >1.0
CPO= MAP x CO/451

shock?
Lactate
amount of energy available to maintain the perfusion of
what is cardiac power output?
the vital organs in shock

2. leaky capillaries
what are the 5 factors affecting pharmacokinetics with
3. volume resusitation
critical illness?
4. end-organ perfusion
5. altered protein binding
what is pharmacodynamics? the bodys biological response to the drug
1. augmented cardiac output
2. leaky capillaries
what are the factors 5 affecting pharmacokinetics with

ECMO?
4. hemodilution
5. drug sequestration
which drugs should you avoid with ecmo? benzos!!! lipophillic and sequester in the tubing
blood contacts the ecmo circuit causing a sirs response
