MED SURG 201 PALS QUIZ 2MED SURG 201 PALS QUIZ 2 • Lab Values o HR: 60-100BPM o Stroke volume: the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements of ventricle volumes from an echocardiogram and subtracting the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of a beat (called end-systolic volume) from the volume of blood just prior to the beat (called end-diastolic volume). End-Systolic volume – end-Diastolic volume, volume ejected w each heartbeat, SV: amount of blood pumped from left ventricle per beat • Heart rate: contraction of heart in a min 60-100 • HF is indicated: w dyspnea, elevated hBNP o hBNP 100=no HF, 100-300 HF is present, 300mild HF, 600 moderate HF, 900 severe HF o quiz1; hypokalemia can cause shallow respiration, dyspnea o Q 2.
