Across
- 2. condition in which electrical activity is present on an electrocardiogram, but there is not a physiologically adequate pulse or blood pressure
- 4. diminished urine output; less than 0.5 mL/kg/h over at least 6 hours, or less than 400 mL in 24 hours
- 6. an accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity
- 9. pathologic accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces and alveoli of the lungs causing severe respiratory distress
- 10. systolic blood pressure that is more than 10 mm Hg lower during inhalation than during exhalation; difference is normally less than 10 mm Hg
- 13. procedure that involves aspiration of fluid from the pericardial sac
- 14. inability of the left ventricle to fill or eject sufficient blood into the systemic circulation (synonym: left ventricular failure)
- 15. percentage of blood volume in the ventricles at the end of diastole that is ejected during systole; a measurement of contractility
- 16. a clinical syndrome resulting from structural or functional cardiac disorders that impair the ability of a ventricle to fill or eject blood
