heart cam) right heart failure, Cor pulmonale, Lung disorders, Pulmonary
embolism, Pulmonary hypertension, Hypervolemia.
Where is the CVP measured and what part of the heart or body does it monitor? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Measured in the SVC and it monitors the Right Heart.
Where is the PAP measured and what part of the body does it monitor? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Measured at the pulmonary artery and looks at the
Lungs
Where and how is the PCWP measured and what part of the body does it
monitor? - CORRECT ANSWERS PAP looks at the Left heart
Increase balloon pressure (left heart)
decrease balloon pressure ( lungs)
What will happen to the CVP, PAP, and PCWP if a pt is in right heart failure or cor
pulmonale? - CORRECT ANSWERS CVP goes up. PAP Goes down or stays
normal. PCWP goes down or stays normal.
What will cause a downslope on an arterial wave form? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Decrease in pressure- dyastolic phase.
Why will the CVP be decreased in a pt with hypovolemia, Hemmorhage, fluid loss
or shock? Will the other measurements be increased or decreased? - CORRECT

ANSWERS Placed in the artery, Radial is choice. Sites for placement: radial,
brachial, femoral, dorsal pedal. Infections can occur.
If the PAP and CVP are increases, what could possibly be the problem and where
is the problem originating? - CORRECT ANSWERS Blood flow through the
lungs having problems
If CVP can't be measured, what measurement can be used to replace it? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Pulmonary arterial end diastolic pressure. b/p
Afterload - CORRECT ANSWERS The force against which ventricles must
work to pump blood
Preload - CORRECT ANSWERS The degree that the myocardial fiber is
stressed prior to contraction
