Question

Blood Pressure Worksheet Indicate whether each of the following manipulations would result in an Increase [1. Decrease [D] or have No effect [N] on Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MABP). For each answer given, explain the logic behind your decision. Manipulation MABP Rationale Increased carcdiac output Increased hematocrit Decreased Ach release to SA node A nodech Dehydration Decreased blood volume Increased skeletal muscle activity/ exercise Decreased respiratory rate NE or Epinephrine administration Decreased total peripheral resistance ?? Vasopressin administration Decreased sympathetic firing at SA node Increased venous return Blood loss due to injury Anemia Sitting up after lying down Decreased heart rate Vasodilation IV Infusion of normal saline

Explanation / Answer

Manipulation

MAPB (mean arterial blood pressure)

Rationale

Increased cardiac output

Increased

As higher pumping of blood makes a higher impact on the arterial walls

Increased hematocrit

Decreased

Hct determines blood viscosity, Increasing blood viscosity via an increase in hematocrit reduces peripheral vascular resistance, lowering MA blood pressure

Decreased Ach release to SA node

increased

As its release decrease the MABP

Dehydration

decrease

As it decrease the ionic level in blood

Decrease blood volume

decrease

Decrease venous pressure is the reason

Increased skeletal muscle activity/excercise

increased

Increased cardiac output

Redistribution of blood flow

Decreased respiratory rate

increased

as increase in the variation of

pulse pressure blood pressure swings increases with decreasing respiratory rate

NE or Epinephrine administration

increased

epinephrine can produce an initial increase in mean arterial blood pressure

Decreased total peripheral resistance

decrease

to cardiac output (CO) x peripheral resistance (R)

Vasopressin administration

increased

vasopressin administration increased mean arterial pressure as the retention of fluid

Decreased sympathetic firing at SA node

decreased

decrease vagal tone

Increased venous return

increased

Increase in stroke volume and pulmonary blood flow.

Blood loss due to injury

decreased

Decreased fluid level

Anemia

increased

The reason for the increased cardiac output in anemia

Sitting up after lying down

decresed

When shifting from lying down, known as the supine position, orthostatic hypotension

Decreased heart rate

decreased

As low blood flow

Vasodilation

decresed

Low pressure on vessles

IV infusion of normal saline

increased

As the fluid content increases
