Calculate the static compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 600 mL, peak in-spiratory pressure (PIP) 40 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) 30 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 15 cm H2O,
 
  and tubing compliance (CT) 2 mL/cm H2O.
  a. 14.5 mL/cm H2O
  b. 38 mL/cm H2O
  c. 55 mL/cm H2O
  d. 58 mL/cm H2O

Question 2

A patient-ventilator system check reveals the following information: peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 32 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 12 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) 20 cm H2O,
 
  inspiratory time (TI) 1 second, and set frequency 12/min. Calculate the mean airway pressure.
  a. 4 cm H2O
  b. 8 cm H2O
  c. 12 cm H2O
  d. 14 cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Static compliance = tidal volume (VT)  (Pplateau  PEEP)  CT/(Pplateau  PEEP) = 600  (30  15)  2/30  15 = 570/15 = 38 mL/cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Total cycle time (TCT) = 60/frequency = 60/12 = 5. (P-macron)aw = (PIP  PEEP)  (TI/TCT) + PEEP = (32  12)  (1/5) + 12 = (20  0.2) + 12 = 14 cm H2O.

About 80% of major fungal systemic infections are due to Candida albicans. Another form, Candida peritonitis, occurs most often in postoperative patients. A rare disease, Candida meningitis, may follow leukemia, kidney transplant, other immunosuppressed factors, or when suffering from Candida septicemia.

To combat osteoporosis, changes in lifestyle and diet are recommended. At-risk patients should include 1,200 to 1,500 mg of calcium daily either via dietary means or with supplements.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
