What equation relates to flow pressure and resistance to define mean arterial pressure?
the equation for mean arterial pressure is MAP=(1/3) PP (pulse pressure) + Diastolic example: if someone's blood pressure is 125/65, then Pulse Pressure is 60 now that you have this info you can calculate MAP (mean arterial pressure) MAP= (1/3) 60 + 65 MAP= 85
Why do peripheral chemoreceptors only detect a drop in PO2 below 60 mmHg?
Peripheral chemoreceptors are primarily responsive to changes in arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) below 60 mmHg because this level indicates severe hypoxemia, where oxygen delivery to tissues is compromised. This triggers a strong chemoreceptor response to stimulate increased ventilation and improve oxygen uptake. Above this level, oxygen delivery to tissues is usually sufficient and there is less need for such a strong response.
What is the normal brachial wrist index?
The normal brachial ankle index is typically around 1.0 to 1.4. An index below 0.9 may indicate peripheral artery disease, while an index above 1.4 may suggest arterial calcification.
Can you administer medication through an arterial line?
