Hemodynamic Parameter Norms

Vocabulary review of normal values and formulas for key hemodynamic parameters.

Cardiac Index (CI)

A hemodynamic parameter calculated as $\frac{\text{CO}}{\text{BSA}}$ with a normal value of $2.8-4.2\,\text{L/min/m}^2$.

Cardiac Output (CO)

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal value of $3-6\,\text{L/min}$.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal minimum value of $60-70\,\text{mmHg}$.

Pulmonary Artery Pressure

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal value of $20-30/10\,\text{mmHg}$.

Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP)

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal value of $5-12\,\text{mmHg}$.

Central Venous Pressure (CVP) / Right Atrial Pressure (RAP)

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal value of $2-5\,\text{mmHg}$.

Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)

A hemodynamic parameter with a normal value of $800-1200\,\text{dyn/s/cm}^5$ (Vanderbilt Univ).
