Calculations Flashcards
A-a Gradient
PAO2 - PaO2
[Alveolar oxygen pressure - arterial oxygen pressure]
Alveolar Gas Equation
PAO2 = FiO2 * (P atmosphere - P water vapor) - [PaCO2 / RQ]
PAO2 = FiO2 * (760 mmHg - 47 mmHg) - [PaCO2 / 0.8]
PAO2 = FiO2 * (713 mmHg) - [PaCO2 / 0.8]
Dynamic Compliance
Dynamic Compliance (Cdyn) = Tidal volume / [Peak Pressure - PEEP]
Minute Ventilation
MV = RR * TV
Calculation to predict PaO2 by age
110 - (age * 0.4)
Reynold’s Number
R = [Velocity * Density * Diameter] / Viscosity
Static Compliance
Static Compliance (Cstat) = TV / [Plateau Pressure - PEEP]
Transpulmonary Pressure
TPP = Alveolar Pressure - Pleural Pressure
Transthoracic Pressure
TTP = Pleural Pressure - Atmospheric Pressure
Dead Space to Tidal Volume Ratio
Vd / Vt Ratio
Vd / Vt
Cardiac Output
CO = HR * SV
Coronary Perfusion Pressure
CPP = DBP - LVEDP (or PAOP)
Ejection Fraction
EF = [End-Diastolic Volume - End-Systolic Volume] / End-Diastolic Volume
Fick Principle
CO = (VO2 / [CaO2 - CvO2]) * 100
Law of LaPlace (Cylinder)
Wall Tension (Cylinder) = [Pressure * Radius] / Wall Thickness
Law of LaPlace (Sphere)
Wall Tension (Sphere) = [Pressure * Radius] / [2 * Wall Thickness]
Maximum Allowable Blood Loss
ABL = EBV * ([starting HgB - target Hgb] / starting Hgb)
Mean Arterial Pressure
MAP = [SBP + (2*DBP)] / 3
Oxygen Carrying Capacity
CaO2
CaO2 = (Hgb * SaO2 * 1.34) + (PaO2 * 0.003)
Oxygen Delivery
DO2
DO2 = (Hgb * SaO2 * 1.34) + (PaO2 * 0.003) * CO * 10
