Calculate Systemic Vascular Resistance

Calculate Systemic Vascular Resistance

Given

  1. Systolic pressure: 130 mmHg
  2. Diastolic pressure: 90 mmHg
  3. Right atrial mean pressure: 4 mmHg
  4. Cardiac output: 5 L/min

[A] 8 Wood unit
[B] 10 Wood unit
[C] 13 Wood unit
[D] 21 Wood unit

Mean arterial pressure

= (2 diastolic pressure + systolic pressure)/3

= 2X 90 + 130 = 210/3 = 70 mmHg

Systemic vascular resistance

= [MAP-CVP] / C.O

= (70 – 4) / 5

= 13.2 Wood unit

Normal: 900-1200 dynes.sec.cm-5 or 11-15 Woods Units.
