Systemic Vascular Resistance

Questions

1.Mean Arterial Pressure?

2.Central Venous Pressure?

3.Cardiac Output?

About

Systemic vascular resistance reflects the resitance across the whole of the systemic circulation from aorta to right atrium (analogous to LV Afterload). Normal: 900-1200 dynes.sec.cm^-5 or 11-15 Woods Units.

Low SVR can be seen with Sepsis, Anaphylaxis, Spinal shock, Adrenal Insufficiency, Hyperthermia, AV fistula and Vasodilator use
High SVR can be seen with Hypovolemia, Cardiogenic Shock, Hypothermia, and Vasopressor use
