Resistance and Compliance concepts

Question 1

Resistance varies with what in regards to an ETT?

Answer 1

volume of gas passing through the tube per unit time

Question 2

what is importance in determing resistance?

Answer 2

flow (V)

Question 3

The ETT causes an increase work in breathing due to ?

Answer 3

small diameter and length

Question 4

what law is associated with resistance and gas flow?

Answer 4

hagen-poiseuille

Question 5

what is formula associated with laminar flow resistance?

Answer 5

P = (L x v x V) / r^4

Question 6

True or false. In Laminar flow, Resistance indirectly proportional to flow rate

Answer 6

false. directly proportional

Question 7

true or false. In turbulent flow, Resistance directly proportional to square of flow rate

Answer 7

true

Question 8

what formula is associated with turbulent flow resistance

Answer 8

P = (L x V^2 x K)/ r^5

Question 9

What is the measure of distensibility?

Answer 9

compliance

Question 10

what is the formula for compliance?

Answer 10

C = V/P units are ml/cmH2O

Question 11

what are properties of compliance?

Answer 11

Helps determine tidal volume

Most distensible components are reservoir bag & breathing tubes
