Minute ventilation eqn
RR x TV
Alveolar ventilation eqn
RR x (TV-dead space) dead space is about 150 or weight in pounds
Calculate inspiratory capacity
TV + inspiratory reserve
Calculate functional residual capacity
Expiratory reserve + residual volume

Loading Dose eqn
Vd x Cp
Maintenance Dose eqn
Css x Cl (multiply by minutes b/w doses if necessary)
study design: Hawthorne effect
change behavior when you know you’re being watched
study design: Berkson’s bias
choosing hospitalized patients as a control group
study design: Pygmalian effect
researcher’s belief in efficacy changes outcome
study design: latency
some disease processes take a long time to develop so you can’t say anything definitive with just a short study
