0
Q
Exhaled Tidal Volume
A
Ve/f
1
Q
Ideal Body Weight
A
50 kg + (2 x inches over 5 ft)
2
Q
Minute Ventilation (Vt)
A
Vt x f
3
Q
Alveolar Minute Ventilation (Va)
A
(Vt - Vd) x f
*Use the approximation of 1mL per lb of ideal body weight for Vd
4
Q
Dynamic Compliance
A
Exhaled volume/Peak Inspiratory Pressure - PEEP
5
Q
Static Compliance
A
Exhaled Volume/Plateau Pressure - PEEP
6
Q
Airway Resistance (Raw)
A
Raw = Peak Pressure- Plateau Pressure
7
Q
Work Of Breathing
A
Change in Pressure x Change in Volume
8
Q
Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI)
A
Respiratory Rate/Vt(L)
