Q
What is the equation for collapsing pressure?
A
P = 2(surface tension) / radius
2
Q
What is the equation for physiologic dead space?
A
Vd = Vt x (PaCO2 - PeCO2) / PaCO2
3
Q
What is the equation for Pulmonary Vascular Resistance?
A
PVR = P(pulm art) - P(L atrium) / cardiac output

Q
What is the alveolar gas equation?
A
PAO2 = PIO2 - PaCO2/R
= 150 - PaCO2/0.8
