FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Calculate the airway resistance (Raw) when a ventilated patient's Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) is 40 cm H2O, Plateau Pressure (Pplat) is 20 cm H2O, Flow is 60 L/min, Tidal Volume is 500 ml, Set Rate is 12 breaths/min, FiO2 is 0.6, and PEEP is 5 cm H2O.

Back

20 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

A patient's PIP is 35 cm H2O, Pplat is 25 cm H2O, Flow is 50 L/min, Tidal Volume is 550 ml, Set Rate is 15 breaths/min, FiO2 is 0.4, and PEEP is 8 cm H2O. What is the calculated airway resistance (Raw)?

Back

12 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Given PIP of 45 cm H2O, Pplat of 30 cm H2O, Flow of 40 L/min, Tidal Volume of 600 ml, Set Rate of 10 breaths/min, FiO2 of 0.5, and PEEP of 7 cm H2O, what is the airway resistance (Raw)?

Back

22 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Calculate the airway resistance (Raw) for a patient with PIP of 38 cm H2O, Pplat of 22 cm H2O, Flow of 70 L/min, Tidal Volume of 480 ml, Set Rate of 18 breaths/min, FiO2 of 0.7, and PEEP of 6 cm H2O.

Back

14 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec

Back

14 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

A patient exhibits a PIP of 36 cm H2O, Pplat of 32 cm H2O, Flow of 60 L/min, Tidal Volume of 560 ml, Set Rate of 16 breaths/min, FiO2 of 0.8, and PEEP of 9 cm H2O. What is the airway resistance (Raw)?

Back

4 cm H2O/L/s

Answer explanation

Raw = (PIP – Pplat) / Flow (L/sec)

 

To convert flow to L/sec, divide the actual flow rate by 60.

 

Example 1:   Current flow = 60

·         60/60 = 1L/sec

 

Example 2:    Current flow = 45

·         45/60 = 0.75 L/sec
