These measurements are from a 67-year-old critically ill postoperative patient. See text for further details. CI, cardiac index; MAP, mean arterial pressure; MPAP, mean pulmonary arterial pressure; PAWP, pulmonary artery wedge pressure; RAP, right atrial pressure; RVEDVI, right ventricular end-diastolic volume index; RVEF, right ventricular ejection fraction; SvO2, mixed venous oxygen saturation. | |||
