The Hemodynamic Data Are Recorded from a Pulmonary Artery Catheter

question 21

Essay

The hemodynamic data are recorded from a pulmonary artery catheter on a patient who is being mechanically ventilated.
$\begin{array}{lc}\text { Cardiac Output } & 7.0 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min} \\ \mathrm{PAP} & 50 / 30 \mathrm{mmHg} \\ \text { PCWP } & 12 \mathrm{mmHg} \\ \text { CVP } & 3 \mathrm{mmHg} \\ \text { HR } & 125 / \mathrm{min}\end{array}$
How would the practitioner interpret this data and what should be recommended?
