CCRN Review: Cardiovascular Critical Care for Nurses - Part Two

[@Djellal]

@19:37 you say that oxygen will reduce workload on the heart because it will allow our tissues to feel more perfused even with a smaller amount of blood. Did you actually mean more perfused or more oxygenated? Also, @20:20 I’m confused. How does a vasodilator that reduces the afterload can reduce the cardiac output and not increase it since there is less pressure?
