What is the volume that will reach the patient when the volume setting is 700 mL, the tubing compliance is 2 mL/cm H2O, and the measured peak inspiratory pressure is 35 cm H2O?
 
  a. 770 mL c. 665 mL
  b. 698 mL d. 630 mL

Question 2

What is the compressibility factor for the patient circuit when the ventilator volume is set at 100 mL, the recorded peak inspiratory pressure is 41 cm H2O, and the measured volume is 68 mL?
 
  a. 0.41 cm H2O/mL c. 1.66 mL/cm H2O
  b. 0.60 cm H2O/mL d. 2.44 mL/cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Volume lost because of tubing compliance is equal to the set volume minus the tubing compliance multiplied by the measured peak inspiratory pressure. Volume lost = 700 mL ?2- (2 mL/cm H2O  35 cm H2O) = 700 mL ?2- 70 mL = 630 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The compressibility factor of a patient circuit is the circuit's tubing compliance. Tubing compli-ance equals the measured volume divided by the measured peak inspiratory pressure (Tubing compliance = Volume/Peak inspiratory pressure). Tubing compliance = 68 mL  41 cm H2O = 1.66 mL/cm H2O.

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
