Calculate the right ventricular stroke work (RVSW) for a patient with the following measure-ments: pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 50/32 mm Hg, cardiac output (C.O.) 4.0 L/min, heart rate (HR) 127/min, and body surface area (BSA) 1.72 m2
a. 0.11 g-m/m2
b. 4.5 g-m/m2
c. 9.5 g-m/m2
d. 10.2 g-m/m2
ANS: C
RVSW = [(MPAP ? SV) ? 0.0136]/BSA
