39
Q

Dynamic compliance calculation

A

Exhaled volume/PIP - PEEP

40
Q

Static compliance calculation

A

Exhaled volume/Plateau - PEEP

41
Q

Minute ventilation calculation

Q

RSBI

57
Q

RSBI calculation

A

RSBI = rate/tidal volume in liters.
Use the following steps to determine RSBI:
First, convert ml into Liters.
Next, divide rate by VT in liters by 0.7 to get RSBI
