Understand the Problem

The image discusses medical concepts related to pressure, resistance, and actions involving the aorta and IVC (inferior vena cava). It outlines how to decrease pressure, what happens with resistance, and the consequences of damaging the aorta, including death due to shock.

Answer

Ideal pressure: 12-15 mmHg to avoid complications.

The image explains the best pressure for a procedure is between 12-15 mmHg. Lower pressure results in less resistance, while higher pressure can compress the IVC, decrease venous return, leading to shock and death.
