Calculate the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) given the following measurements obtained during a hemodynamic study:
 
  pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) = 40/22 mm Hg, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) = 12 mm Hg, blood pressure (BP) = 156/80 mm Hg, central venous pressure (CVP) = 19 mm Hg, cardiac output (C.O.) = 4.8 L/min, and heart rate (HR) = 68 beats/min.
  a. 150 dyne  sec  cm5
  b. 267 dyne  sec  cm5
  c. 317 dyne  sec  cm5
  d. 1496 dyne  sec  cm5

Question 2

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  sec  cm5
  b. 393 dyne  sec  cm5
  c. 800 dyne  sec  cm5
  d. 1165 dyne  sec  cm5

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
