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

When do yopu wedge clay?
You should wedge clay before you work with it, to redistribte the minerals it is made of and remove air bubbles.
What type of simple machine is the tip of a dart?
A wedge.

Cuneiform
A map that shows a wedge shaped portion of the earth is called?
conic projection
What form of writing uses wedge-shaped strokes in clay?
Cuneiform script
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 does an increase in PAWP mean?
An increase in pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) typically indicates an increase in left atrial pressure. This can be caused by conditions such as heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or fluid overload. It can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid accumulation in the lungs.
What is the normal wedge angle for a typical doorstop?
The normal wedge angle for a typical doorstop is around 30 to 45 degrees.
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.
When the group is in a wedge formation what is the normal interval?
10 meters
Is a baseball bat a wedge?
In 'normal use', the baseball bat functions as a lever and not a wedge. Physically speaking, any cone-shaped item such as a baseball bat could be used as a wedge.
How does a wedge multiply force?
A wedge multiplies force by distributing the input force over a larger surface area, allowing it to exert more pressure and create a greater output force. This increased pressure enables the wedge to split or separate objects more easily by overcoming the resistance between them.
How do you calculate wedge force?
To calculate wedge force, you can use the formula: F = T * tan(α), where F is the force applied to the wedge, T is the force perpendicular to the wedge (normal force), and α is the angle of the wedge. This formula assumes the wedge is ideal and there is no friction. Adjustments may need to be made for real-world applications where friction plays a role.
Involve a wedge?
There are many items in everyday life that involve a wedge. A spatula for cooking is a wedge, a door stopper is a wedge used to stop the door, and a knife use to chop vegetables is a wedge.
How does the shape of the wedge influence its effectiveness?
The angle and sharpness of the wedge affect how easily it can penetrate a material. A narrow wedge with a sharp point can exert more pressure and split materials effectively, while a wider wedge may be more stable but less efficient at splitting. The shape ultimately determines the force concentration and the direction in which the force is applied, impacting the wedge's effectiveness.
Can a wedge break rock?
Yes, a wedge can break rock by exerting force along a narrow edge to split the rock apart. The wedge is driven into the rock using a hammer or other tool to create enough pressure to cause the rock to fracture.
