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.

Certain chemicals, after ingestion, can be converted by the body into cyanide. Most of these chemicals have been removed from the market, but some old nail polish remover, solvents, and plastics manufacturing solutions can contain these substances.

Inotropic therapy does not have a role in the treatment of most heart failure patients. These drugs can make patients feel and function better but usually do not lengthen the predicted length of their lives.

Did you know?

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.

Did you know?

Most fungi that pathogenically affect humans live in soil. If a person is not healthy, has an open wound, or is immunocompromised, a fungal infection can be very aggressive.

Most women experience menopause in their 50s. However, in 1994, an Italian woman gave birth to a baby boy when she was 61 years old.
