If changes in P ra cause changes in CO, shouldn’t we then know the etiology of shock with certainty? Additionally, this model clarifies that the dependent variable is the ‘operating point’ [OP] which is composed of both CO and P ra , simultaneously. The dependent variable is the operating point [i.e.,
