“Obviously, except under momentary
conditions the venous return and the
cardiac output must be equal.” — Arthur
Guyton

Arthur Clifton Guyton


(September 8, 1919 – April 3, 2003)
The experiment
• The invention of extracorporeal pumps allowed Guyton to control
the heart function via the speed of a mechanical pump and separate
pump effects from the vascular tree as the circuit.
• He achieved maximum venous return with zero RAP.
• Further increases in flow via increases in pump function were
limited by collapse of the intrathoracic vessels.
• When he increased RAP above zero (i.e., above atmospheric
pressure), pump flow and therefore venous return would decline
until flow ceased completely.
• He termed the pressure at zero flow mean circulatory filling
pressure (MCFP).
• By influencing MCFP via volume expansion or epinephrine, he could
increase venous return without changes in pump function (7,8,10).
• From this, Guyton reasoned that in the steady state circulation,
venous return (and therefore cardiac output in conclusion) was
driven by the venous return driving pressure
• (VRdP = MCFP minus RAP) divided by the resistance to venous
return (RVR):
Venous Return
• rate at which blood is
returned to the heart (in
L.min-1).
• driven by the pressure
difference between MSFP
and RAP
VR=MSFP−RAP/RVR
• At steady state, venous
return is equal to cardiac
output

• In a circulatory standstill,
pressure and volume
equilibrate in the whole system

• Volume is distributed according
to each segments compliances
• The equilibrating pressure is
related to blood volume and is
independent of the hearts’
function.

Factors Affecting Venous Return
VR=MSFP−RAP/RVR
•MSFP
• Volume
e.g. Haemorrhage, resuscitation.
• Compliance
•RAP
• Respiratory pump
(Negative intrathoracic pressure reduces RAP, improving venous
return.)
• Positive pressure ventilation
• Pericardial compliance
• Constriction
• Tamponade
•Resistance to Venous Return
• Posture
• Vascular compression
• Obesity
• Pregnancy
• Laparoscopy
• Ascites, edema,ACS
•Other factors affecting venous return
• Skeletal muscle pump
Contraction of leg muscles in combination with an intact venous
system propels blood back towards the heart.
• Venous valves

increase in flow above that present at –4 mm Hg.
VR can only be zero if Pms – PRA is
zero
Prone effect on VR
• prone position increase intra-
abdominal pressure.
• Increase PMS favors increase
venous return.
• variable effects upon the resistance
to venous return depending on the
patient’s underlying volume status.
Prone Positioning Effects on Cardiac
Function
• Prone positioning reduces the compliance of the chest wall
• the passive patient receiving mechanical ventilation will experience a relatively large increase in intra-
thoracic pressure for a given tidal volume [16, 17]. Assuming that the intra-thoracic pressure is
transmitted integrally to the pericardial space [18], the increased intra-thoracic pressure shifts the
cardiac function curve rightwards relative to the systemic venous return curve [19]; to the extent that
the cardiac function curve shifts rightwards relative to the right-shift of the MSFP, as elaborated above,
there will be reduced cardiac output. Conversely, and less intuitively, the increase in intra-thoracic
pressure will also reduce right ventricular afterload. The reason is that right ventricular afterload is
determined by the distending pressure of the lung [i.e. the trans-pulmonary pressure] which is the
pressure within the alveolar compartment less the pressure within the pleural compartment.
Consequently, reduced chest wall compliance raises the pleural [or intra-thoracic] pressure relative to
the alveolar pressure and this unloads right ventricular ejection [20-22]. Additionally, prone positioning
recruits compressed dorsal lung [23] which lowers pulmonary vascular resistance [24], and improves
oxygenation which releases hypoxemic vasoconstriction in the pulmonary bed [25]. Right ventricular
afterload reduction is illustrated by an increase in the slope of the cardiac function curve [i.e. an up and
to the left shift].
• Gattinoni’s distinction pulmonary and extra-pulmonary ARDS
• pulmonary ARDS is a consequence of direct pulmonary insult and leads to a
profound reduction in pulmonary compliance, . less of the alveolar pressure is
transmitted to the pleural space [28-30], therefore, trans-pulmonary pressure
rises and right ventricular afterload is heightened This physiology favors
enlargement of right ventricular volume and diminished cardiac output.
• extra-pulmonary ARDS arises in the context of systemic unrest and results in
severely diminished chest wall compliance. raised pleural pressure relative to
alveolar pressure such that
• trans-pulmonary pressure and right ventricular afterload are diminished; this
favors diminution of right ventricular volume and improved cardiac output.
• Hemodynamic Effects of Prone Positioning: Conclusions

• Placing a patient in the prone position has important implications for both venous return and
right ventricular function. While an increase in intra-abdominal pressure tends to raise the
pressure head for venous return, improved venous return will only be realized in the absence of
a contemporaneous rise in the resistance to venous return. Therefore, careful consideration
should be paid to a patient’s volume status prior to initiating prone positioning. Additionally, the
degree to which ventilator-applied airway pressure partitions into the alveolar space relative to
the pleural space will determine to what extent the intra-thoracic milieu favors diminished right
ventricular preload, afterload or some combination thereof. It follows that careful consideration
should be given to underlying cardiac function as well as the relative contributions of the
pulmonary and chest wall compliances to the overall compliance of the respiratory system.
Integration of these multiple, co-varying physiological elements may explain conflicting
hemodynamics both in ARDS and other mechanically-ventilated patient populations

• inotropy and
• diastolic compliance
Vascular function curve
Dependant or independent-RAP,CO,VR
Do the cardiac output and venous return depend
on RAP?
Does RAP depend on the cardiac output and
venous return?
The answer to both is yes!
They all depend on each other.
Both curves can be equal only at the single point
where the two curves intersect.
Only transient and small deviations in these two
curves are possible unless either or both of the
function curves change in shape.
Momentary changes
• CO and VR are equal (at 5 L/min) only when
the CVP is 2 mm Hg.
• If CVP decrease to 0 for any reason, CO
would fall (to 2 L/min) but VR would
increase (to 7 L/min).
• Increase VR will return CVP back to the
original level (2 mm Hg) in a very short time.
• Conversely, in the same logic the similar
thing would happen when CVP were to
increase.
• conclusion: CVS automatically adjusts to
operate at the point where the cardiac and
venous function curve intersect.
