Since there are no valves between the pulmonary capillaries and the left atrium, PCWP is a reflection of the LAP. During diastole, when mitral valve is open, the PCWP reflects LVEDP. LVEDP is an index of left ventricular end-diastolic volume. Here is a helpful URL to further clarify this entry. http://medind.nic.in/iad/t02/i4/iadt02i4p298.pdf

What does an elevated pulmonary wedge pressure indicate?
an elevated pulmonary wedge pressure indicate that the pressure in the left atrium is evevated .
How does high pulmonary capillary wedge pressure indicate high left atrial pressure?
There is little resistance between the pulmonary artery (where the catheter is placed in PCW) and the left atrium. This means that the pressure remains about constant.
What is the Treatment for high pulmonary wedge pressure?
lasix!!! Lasix is not the best way to lower pulmonary wedge pressure. Contrary to popular belief, Lasix has no direct impact on the lungs. You have to find out what is causing the high pressure in the lungs... If it is caused by congestion on the vascular system lasix would be a second or third line drug. If it is cardiogenic shock, dopamine, dobutamine, levophed or epi would be the best way. When a persons MAP is very high or very low kidney function is decresed so a non K+ sparing loop diuretic will not work very well.

What is the function of the wedge?
splitting securingA wedge is a triangular shaped tool, a compound and portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines.It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces.The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width. Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.
Can a wedge be used to lift an object?
Yes. a wedge can be used to lift an object. A wedge is a triangular shaped tool and can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift an object, or hold an object in place.
