Equations to know Flashcards
Fractional excretion (use Na as example but anything can be used) calculation
(UNa x PCr)/ (PNa x UCr) x 100
Renal clearance calculation
[Urine] x Urine flow rate / [Plasma]
Top should be in mg/min
Creatinine generally equals GFR
Renal blood flow calculation
Renal plasma flow / (1-HCT)
Filtration fraction calculation
GFR/ Renal plasma flow
Normal 20%
Excretion rate calculation
urine flow rate x [urine]
Reabsorption rate calculation
filtered load- excretion rate
filtered load calculation
GFR x [plasma]
secretion rate calculation
Excretion rate-filtered load
Protein requirements in dogs/cats
dog 4-5 g/ 100 Kcal
Cat 6-8 g/ 100 kcal
Fick’s law of gas diffusion
Volume of gas per unit time= area/ thickness x Diffusion constant x partial pressure difference
Calculate PAO2
FiO2 (PB - 47) - PaCO2/0.8
Generally considered at sea level and room air to be
150- PaCO2/0.8
Calculate A-a gradient
Should be done on room air
PAO2-PaO2
Normal < 15
> 15 implies V/Q mistmach
Calculate PF ration
Can be done with any FiO2 PaO2/Fio2 (decimal) Normal 5x FiO2--- 500 <300 vet ALI < 200 Vet ARDS
Calculate the shunt equation
Qs/Qt= (CcO2-CaO2) / (CcO2-CmvO2)
Normal < 5%
Calculate physiologic dead space
Bohr equation
Vd/Vt= (PaCO2- PETCO2)/PaCO2
<40% is normal with spontaneous breathing
