The CO of an individual with the following hemodynamic status would be :
Pulmonary artery pressure = 24mm Hg
LA pressure = 4mm Hg
RA pressure = 2 mm Hg
Pulmonary vascular resistance = 2 mm Hg/lit/min
Systemic vascular resistance = 20 mm Hg /lit /min.
a. 1.0
b. 1.1
c. 10
d. 11

I'm sorry. earlier post got posted before I could finish typing.
Pulm blood flow = Cardiac
P1-P2 = Presuure in the pulm artery - pulm venous pressure ( LA pressure ) 24-4 = 20
divided by Pulm resistance = 20/ 2.
The right answe is 10. ©
