Use this figure to compute the static compliance (CS) for an intubated patient with an exhaled tidal volume (VT) of 500 mL.
 
  a. 14 mL/cm H2O
  b. 20 mL/cm H2O
  c. 33 mL/cm H2O
  d. 50 mL/cm H2O

Question 2

Evaluate the combinations of compliance and resistance and select the combination that will cause the lungs to empty slowest.
 
  a. CS = 0.05 L/cm H2O Raw = 2 cm H2O/(L/sec)
  b. CS = 0.05 L/cm H2O Raw = 6 cm H2O/(L/sec)
  c. CS = 0.03 L/cm H2O Raw = 5 cm H2O/(L/sec)
  d. CS = 0.03 L/cm H2O Raw = 8 cm H2O/(L/sec)

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cs = Pplateau  EEP; the Pplateau in the figure is 20 cm H2O and the PEEP is 10 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Use the time constant formula, TC = C  R, to determine the time constant for each choice. The combination with the longest time constant will empty the slowest. The time constant for A is 0.1 second, B is 0.3 second, C is 0.15 second, and D is 0.24 second. To find out how many seconds for emptying, multiply the time constant by 5.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
