QuestionAnswer
Equation O2 Cylinder Duration E Cyl=0.28× psig/liter flow H Cyl=3.14× psig/liter flow **Full cyl= 2200psig (1800-2400)
Equation FiO2 FiO2=(O2 liter flow× 4)+20
Equation Aveolar Air PAO2= [(Pb-P H2O)×FiO2]-(PaCO2/0.80) or PAO2= [(Pb-p H2O)×FiO2]-(PaCO2×1.25) *Pb= Barometric Press (760 when not spec) *P H2O= 47 (mmHg)
Equation Predicted PaO2 PaO2= 105-(Age/2) or 100-(Age/3) *PaCO2 must be normal
Equation PaO2 to FiO2 Ratio PaO2/FiO2 <200 is a critical value
Equation Minute Ventilation Ve= Vt× f Vt=Tidal Volume f=Frequency or rate *Can be manipulated to determine other values
Equation Frequency needed for desired PaCO2 f= current rate× PaCO2/Desired PaCO
Equation RSBI (Rapid Shallow Breathing Index) RSBI= f/Vt *Must be less than 100 for successful weaning
Equation Deadspace to Tidal Volume Ratio Vd/Vt= (PaCO2-PetCO)/PaCO2 *Pet= Exhaled CO *Deadspace= Ventilation w/o Perfusion
Equation Static Lung Compliance Cst= Delivered Vt/(Plateau-PEEP) *Normal 100ml/cmH2O
Equation Dynamic Lung Compliance Cdyn= Delivered Vt/(PIP-PEEP)
Equation Airway Resistance Raw= (PIP-Plateau)/(Flow÷60) *Must be whole number *Answer given in Liters per second *Normal 0.6-2.4cmH2O/L/sec *Normal Vented 5-10cmH20/L/sec
Equation Ideal Body Weight Men: 106+6(H"-60)=IBW# Women: 105+5(H"-60)=IBW# *Convert to metric #/2.2=Kg
Equation Tidal Volume Vt (min)= IBW(Kg)× 10 Vt (max)= IBW(Kg)× 12
Equation Total Cycle Time TCT= 60sec/f I(time)= TCT/I+E E(time)= TCT-I
Equation Temperature Conversion Temp F°=(C°× 1.8)+32 Temp C°=(F°-32)÷ 1.8
Suction Catheter Sizing (OETT Size/2)x 3= Cath Sz (French)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
