(a/[a+b])/(c/[c+d])
Attributable risk
(a/(a+b)) - (c/(c+d))
Number needed to treat
1/absolute risk reduction
Number needed harm
1/attributable risk
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
p^2+2pq+q^2 = 1 and p+q=1
Volume of distribution
Vd = amount of drug in the body/plasma drug concentration
Half-life
(0.693 x Vd)/CL
Drug clearance
CL = rate of elimination of drug/plasma drug concentration = Vd x Ke (elimination constant)
Loading dose
LD = (Cp x Vd)/F
Maintenance dose
D = (Cp x CL x t)/F … t = dosing interval
Cardiac output
CO = rate of O2 consumption/(arterial O2 content-venous O2 content) … CO = SVxHR
Mean arterial pressure
MAP = COxTPR … MAP = 2/3(diastolic)+1/3(systolic)
Stroke volume
EDV-ESV
Ejection fraction
EF = SV/EDV = (EDV-ESV)/EDV
Resistance
driving pressure (ΔP)/flow (Q) = (8η x length)/πr^4
Net filtration pressure
Pnet = [(Pc-Pi) - (πc-πi)] …. Jv = net fluid flow = (Kf)(Pnet)
Renal clearance
Cx = UxV/Px
Glomerular filtration rate
GFR = Uinulin x V/Pinulin = Cinulin … GFR = Kf[(Pg - Pb)-(πg - πb)]
Normal: 100 ml/min
Effective renal plasma flow
ERPF = Upah x (V/Ppah) = Cpah
Underestimates true renal plasma flow by 10%
Renal blood flow
RBF = RPF/(1-Hct)
Filtration fraction
FF = GFR/RPF
Normal: 20%
Henderson-Hasselbach equation (for extracellular pH)
pH = 6.1 + log ([HCO^3-)/0.03PCO2)
Winters formula
PCO2 = 1.5[HCO^3-] + 8 +/- 2
Predicted resp compensation for a simple metabolic acidosis.
If measured PCO2 differs significantly from the predicted, then a mixed acid base disorder is likely present.
Physiologic dead space
Vd = Vt x (PaCO2 - PECO2)/PaCo2
Pulmonary vascular resistance
PVR = (Ppulm artery - Pleft atrium)/CO
Alveolar gas equation
PAO2 = PIO2 - (PaCO2/R)
Attributable Risk Percent
Measure of impact of risk factor
(RR-1)/RR
Absolute Risk Reduction
Event Rate (Control)-Event Rate (Treatment)
