This will result in reduced pre-load for the left ventricle, thereby reducing the effective cardiac output into the systemic circulation. The consequence of this is reduced blood pressure and could lead to cardiogenic shock if it is severe enough. Decreased venous return can occur as a result of a number of situations. Severe haemorrhage, Pericarditis, peripheral vasodilation as a result of neurogenic shock to name a few. Each cause reduced venous return for different reasons - either through reduced blood volume (haemorrhage), compression of the heart chambers (pericarditis, or any situation where fliud or exudate builds up in the pericardium), or some form of trauma or lesion to the spinal cord - specifically affecting the sympathetic tract - which disrupts sympathetic nervous impulses to the peripheral blood vessels, causing widespread vasodilation below the site of the lesion/trauma (neurogenic shock).

In addition to an inadequacy of circulating volume venous return and cardiac output are?
decreased
Why the jugular venous pressure falls during inspiration?
because the endothoracic pressure is decreased and the venous return to the heart is increased.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal circulatory condition characterized by decreased return of venous blood from the legs to the trunk of the body?
venous insufficiency
What happens when there is a reduction to the blood returning to the heart does it increase?
Venous return (VR) is the flow of blood back to the heart. Under steady-state conditions, venous return must equal cardiac output (CO) when averaged over time because the cardiovascular system is essentially a closed loop.if systemic venous return is suddenly decreased, right ventricular preload decreases leading to an decrease in stroke volume and pulmonary blood flow.Decreased pulmonary venous return to the left atrium leads to decreased filling (preload) of the left ventricle, which in turn decreases left ventricular stroke volume by the Frank-Starling mechanism.In this way, a decrease in venous return to the heart leads to an equivalent decrease in cardiac output to the systemic circulation.
Why is it that the child will prefer to assume a squatting position in tetralogy of fallot?
decreased pulmonary venous return to reduce R to L shunt
What is the function of venous valves?
Valves aid in venous return by preventing the back flow of blood.
Tip the bed head down for venous return?
No, lift legs for venous return. Make sure legs are above heart. You do this for shock or bleeding.
What might an abnormal increase venous pressure indicate?
these factors can increase central venous pressure: decreased cardiac output, increased blood volume, venous constriction,forced expiration, muscle contraction
What might an abnormal increase in venous pressure indicates?
these factors can increase central venous pressure: decreased cardiac output, increased blood volume, venous constriction,forced expiration, muscle contraction
How does the venous return mechanism work?
pressure gradient , gravity , skeletal muscle pump, thoracic pump and cardiac suction would be the mechanisms for venous return.
What increases stroke volume?
increase venous return
What is return blood?
Return blood, most likely, refers to the venous blood that is returned to the heart.
