Calculate the effective static compliance (Cs) given the following information about a patient re-ceiving mechanical ventilation:
 
  peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is 56 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) is 40 cm H2O, exhaled tidal volume (VT) is 650 mL, and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is 10 cm H2O.
  a. 14.1 mL/cm H2O
  b. 16.3 mL/cm H2O
  c. 21.7 mL/cm H2O
  d. 40.6 mL/cm H2O

Question 2

Calculate the pressure needed to overcome airway resistance during positive-pressure ventilation when the proximal airway pressure (PAw) is 35 cm H2O and the alveolar pressure (PA) is 5 cm H2O.
 
  a. 7 cm H2O
  b. 30 cm H2O
  c. 40 cm H2O
  d. 175 cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The formula for calculating effective static compliance is Cs = VT/(Pplateau  EEP).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The transairway pressure (PTA) is used to calculate the pressure required to overcome airway re-sistance during mechanical ventilation. This formula is PTA = Paw - PA.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
