Calculate the dynamic compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 500 mL, peak inspiratory time (PIP) 35 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) 20 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cm H2O,
 
  and tubing compliance (CT) 2.5 mL/cm H2O.
  a. 11.8 mL/cm H2O
  b. 14.2 mL/cm H2O
  c. 25 mL/cm H2O
  d. 46.2 mL/cm H2O

Question 2

Calculate dynamic compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 600 mL, peak in-spiratory pressure (PIP) 28 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) 15 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 10 cm H2O, and CT 2 mL/cm H2O.
 
  a. 30.2 mL/cm H2O
  b. 31.3 mL/cm H2O
  c. 38 mL/cm H2O
  d. 44.1 mL/cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Dynamic compliance = tidal volume (VT)  (PIP  PEEP)  CT/(PIP  PEEP) = 500  (35  5)  2.5/(35  5) = 14.2 mL/cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Dynamic compliance = tidal volume (VT)  (PIP  PEEP)  CT/(PIP  PEEP) = 600  (28  10)  2/(28  10) = (600  36)/18 = 31.3 mL/cm H2O.

Side effects from substance abuse include nausea, dehydration, reduced productivitiy, and dependence. Though these effects usually worsen over time, the constant need for the substance often overcomes rational thinking.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Immunoglobulin injections may give short-term protection against, or reduce severity of certain diseases. They help people who have an inherited problem making their own antibodies, or those who are having certain types of cancer treatments.

Pregnant women usually experience a heightened sense of smell beginning late in the first trimester. Some experts call this the body's way of protecting a pregnant woman from foods that are unsafe for the fetus.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
