Perfusion Exam Questions with Complete Solutions (Latest 2025) Mean Arterial pressure - Correct Answers ✅-Average pressure -taking systolic and diastolic pressures into consideration -MAP of at least 65mmHg= required for adequate perfusion Pulsus Paradoxus - Correct Answers ✅- Systolic BP falls greater than 10mmHg on INSPIRATIONS

• Can indicate excessive fluid in the pericardial sac
• Restricts normal heart contraction- seen in pericarditis/endocarditis

Pulse Pressure - Correct Answers ✅- Systolic BP- diastolic BP= pulse pressure

• normal range is 30 to 40mmHg
• Increasing pulse pressure= arteriosclerosis and exercise
• Decreasing pulse pressure= hemorrhage, hypovolemia and shock

- BP 120/80 PP= 120-80= 40

Orthostatic Measurements - Correct Answers ✅- include measuring the BP and HR

• HR in three positions- lying or supine, sitting and dangling feet if pt can

tolerate, and standing

- Orthostatic VS are positive if:

• SBP decreases greater than 10mmHg- 20mmHg and/or
• HR increases greater than 15 to 20 and/or
• observation of patient's condition with position changes can also indicate a

positive orthostatic response, such as ℅ dizziness, sudden cool and clammy skin, or diaphoresis 3 / 4
