Comprehending CO=SVxHR (1 of 3)

I barely passed fundamentals and pharmacology and then failed med-surg second semester. I couldn't connect text book knowledge to nursing judgment, which led to poor test results. I had time to reflect and stumbled into your videos. I will be going back to nursing school next fall with your book in hand. Thanks.

Thanks, Keith! I'm just beginning my journey in nursing. I'm in the second semester of 4 and then it's off to the state boards. I hoping to learn a lot from your videos!

what CO range is considered acceptable or normal?

[@ThinkLikeANurse]

CO stands for cardiac output and is calculated by the volume of blood in the left ventricle and how many times the heart beats each minute. The normal cardiac output is 4 to 8 liters a minute. For example if a person's stroke volume is 70 ml and their heart is beating 70 times a minute, multiplying these 2 numbers gives you 4900 mL or 4.9 liters which is within normal limits. Keith
