The force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries

  • Blood pressure (correct)
  • Blood flow
  • Cardiac output
  • Minute volume

    • Normal systolic value in a dog

  • 90-140 mmHg (correct)
  • 60-90 mmHg
  • 120-170 mmHg
  • 70-120 mmHg

    • Normal systolic value in a cat

  • 90-140 mmHg
  • 120-170 mmHg (correct)
  • 60-90 mmHg
  • 70-120 mmHg

    Produced by the contraction of the ventricles and propels blood thru the aorta and other major arteries. It is the highest pressure exerted

    Pressure that remains when the heart is in its resting phase, between contractions. It is the lowest pressure that is exerted

    <p>Diastolic blood pressure</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Average pressure through the cardiac cycle. It is the most important value to the anesthetist because it is the best indicator of perfusion to the organs

    Pulse pressures cannot be reliably estimated by digital palpation

    <p>True</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Palpation of pulses is a substitute for measuring blood pressure because the pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure

    More useful to monitor trends than to assess single values only

    Monitored in patients receiving a large volume of IV fluids with poor cardiac function or renal failure

    <p>Central venous pressure</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match

    <p>Pressure during heart contractions = Systolic pressure Pressure during heart relaxation = Diastolic pressure Pressure within the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart = Central venous pressure</p> <ul> <li>= -</li> </ul> Signup and view all the answers
