- What is the DuBois and DuBois formula for calculating body surface area (BSA)?
Show answer
BSA (m2) = 0.007184 x height(cm)^0.725 x weight(kg)^0.425
- Formula for cardiac index (CI)
Show answer
CI = Cardiac output (CO) divided by body surface area (BSA)
- Normal resting cardiac index in an adult
Show answer
About 2.4 to 4.0 L/min/m2
- Formula for cardiac output (CO) from stroke volume and heart rate
Show answer
CO = Stroke volume x Heart rate
- Normal resting cardiac output in an average adult
Show answer
About 4 to 6 L/min
- How is a patient's target pump flow (L/min) calculated for cardiopulmonary bypass?
Show answer
Target pump flow = desired cardiac index x body surface area (BSA)
- Standard full-flow cardiopulmonary bypass pump index targets about ____ L/min/m2.
Show answer
2.2 to 2.4
- Formula for stroke volume (SV) from cardiac output and heart rate
Show answer
SV (mL) = (CO divided by HR) x 1000
- The Fick principle states that cardiac output equals oxygen consumption divided by the ____.
Show answer
arteriovenous oxygen content difference
- Formula for arterial oxygen content (CaO2)
Show answer
CaO2 = (Hgb x 1.34 x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)
- Formula for venous oxygen content (CvO2)
Show answer
CvO2 = (Hgb x 1.34 x SvO2) + (PvO2 x 0.003)
- Formula for total oxygen delivery (DO2)
Show answer
DO2 = Cardiac output x CaO2 x 10
- Formula for oxygen consumption (VO2) by the Fick method
Show answer
VO2 = Cardiac output x (CaO2 minus CvO2) x 10
- Normal resting whole-body oxygen consumption (VO2) in an adult
Show answer
About 200 to 250 mL O2 per minute
- Formula for the oxygen extraction ratio
Show answer
O2 extraction ratio = VO2 divided by DO2
