A-a Gradient
PAO2 - PaO2
Alveolar Gas Equation
PAO2 = FiO2 • (PATM - Pwater vapor) - PaCO2 / RQ
Dynamic Compliance (Cdyn) =
Tidal Volume /Peak Pressure - PEEP
Minute Ventilation =
RR * Tidal Volume
Predicted PaO2 by Age =
110- (Age *0.4)
Reynold’s Number =
(Velocity * Density * Diameter) / Viscosity
Static Compliance (Cstat) =
TV / (Plateau Pressure - PEEP)
Transpulmonary Pressure =
Alveolar Pressure - Pleural Pressure
Transthoracic Pressure =
Pleural Pressure - Atmospheric Pressure
Dead Space to Tidal Volume Ratio =
Vd/Vt Ratio = Vd / Vt
Cardiac Output =
HR x SV
Coronary Perfusion Pressure =
DBP - LVEDP (or PAOP)
Ejection Fraction =
EDV - ESV / EDV
Fick Principle
Cardiac Output =
(VO2 / CaO2 - CvO2) x 100
Law of LaPlace (Cylinder)
Wall Tension (cylinder) =
(Pressure x Radius) / Wall Thickness
Law of LaPlace (Sphere)
Wall Tension (Sphere) =
(Pressure x Radius) / 2 x Wall Thickness
Maximum Allowable Blood Loss =
EBV x (Starting Hgb - Target Hgb)/ Starting Hgb
MAP =
[SBP + (DBP * 2)] / 3
Oxygen Carrying Capacity / Oxygen Content
CaO2 =
(Hgb x SaO2 x 1.34) + (PaO2 x 0.003)
