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.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
