Calculate the transrespiratory pressure given the following information: volume 0.6 L; compliance 1 L/cm H2O; airway resistance 3 cm H2O/L/sec; flow 1 L/sec.
 
  a. 0.9 cm H2O
  b. 1.8 cm H2O
  c. 3.6 cm H2O
  d. 4.6 cm H2O

Question 2

A patient who has a decrease in lung compliance due to acute respiratory distress syndrome dur-ing volume-limited ventilation will cause which of the following?
 
  a. Increased volume delivery
  b. Increased peak pressure
  c. Decreased flow delivery
  d. Decreased peak pressure

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Transrespiratory pressure (PTR) = Pvent + Pmus = V/C + ( Raw  ).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When a patient is being ventilated in a volume-limited mode the ventilator will maintain the volume, which will remain unchanged, along with the flow, but the pressure will vary with changes in lung characteristics. A decrease in lung compliance will cause the amount of pressure needed to overcome elastance to increase. This will increase the peak pressure needed to deliver the set volume. Flow and volume will remain constant.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
