    Study Notes

    Exam Instructions

    • Students must arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of their exam.
    • Attendance is mandatory according to the announced detailed exam timetable; no excuses will be accepted.
    • Late students will not be allowed to join other groups.
    • Each station will last 2 minutes.

    Exam Requirements

    • Students must wear a white coat, mask, and gloves during the exam.
    • The exam consists of 6 stations in total.

    Cardiac Output

    • Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute.

    Heart Rate

    • Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute, measured in beats per minute (bpm).
    • Normal adult heart rate is 60-100 bpm.
    • Heart rate is affected by:
      • Autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic)
      • Exercise and physical activity
      • Age, sex, and fitness level
      • Temperature and humidity
      • Medications and hormones

    Stroke Volume

    • Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per beat, measured in milliliters (mL).
    • Normal adult stroke volume is 60-120 mL.
    • Stroke volume is affected by:
      • Preload (venous return)
      • Afterload (arterial resistance)
      • Contractility (heart muscle strength)
      • Heart size and shape
      • Valve function and blood viscosity

    Cardiac Output Calculation

    • Cardiac output is calculated by multiplying heart rate and stroke volume: CO (L/min) = HR (bpm) x SV (mL) / 1000.
