Misc Equations Flashcards
Transudate
TP= <2.5
Modified Transudate
TP= 2.5-5.0
Exudate
TP= > 5.0
Shock Index
HR/Systolic BP
>0.9: moderate to severe shock
O2 Extraction Ratio
VO2/DO2
Arterial Oxygen Content
CaO2=
(Hb X 1.3 X SaO2) + (PaO2 X 0.003)
Albumin Deficit
10( desired Alb- Pt Alb) X Wt X 0.3
Vertebral Heart Size
Short Axis + Long Axis
Dog: <10.7
Cat: <8.0
Laplac’s Law
Wall Stress= (Pressure X Radius)/ 2(Wall Thickness)
Starling’s Forces
Describes fluid movement between blood and tissues. Movement is determined by difference in hydrostatic and osmotic pressures between plasma inside micro vessels and fluid outside of the them (interstitial).
A-a Gradient
FiO2 (Atmospheric Pressure-47) - (PaCO2/0.8)-PaO2
Venous Admixture (shunt) Calculation
Qs/Qt= (CcO2 - CaO2)/ (CcO2 - CvO2)
CcO2= capillary O2 content
CvO2=central venous oxygen saturation
Alveolar Ventilation
VA= (VT-VD) X RR
= Tidal Volume-
Anatomical Dead Space
X RR
Compliance
change in volume for the amount of pressure applied
C= 🔺V/🔺P
Osmolality
2(Na) + (Gluc/18) + (BUN/2.8)
Use when concerned for HHS/hyperosmolar condition
Normal= 300ish
Effective Osmolality
2(Na) + (Gluc/18)
BUN not effective osmole
Corrected Na
1.6 ( Measured BG- Normal BG/100) + Measured Na
Used in hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia can cause pseudohyponatremia
Corrected Chloride
(Normal Na/Measured Na) X Measured Cl
Used in hypernatremia
Free Water Deficit
[(Measured Na/Normal Na) -1] X TBW
