The following hemodynamic measurements were obtained from a patient in the intensive care unit: pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) = 67/25 mm Hg,pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) = 18 mm Hg,blood pressure (BP) = 100/50 mm Hg,central venous pressure (CVP) = 17 mm Hg,cardiac output (C.O. ) = 5.7 L/min,and heart rate (HR) = 75 beats/min.Calculate this patient's systemic vascular resistance (SVR) .
A) 295 dyne x sec x cm-5
B) 393 dyne x sec x cm-5
C) 800 dyne x sec x cm-5
