Equations for Respiratory

Alveolar air equation (PA02)?

PA02=[(Pb-47)FI02]-PaC02/.8

Cc02?

(Hgb x 1.34 x 1) + (.003 x PA02)

Cv02?

(Hgb x 1.34 x Sv02) + (.003 x Pv02)

Humidity Deficit?

43.8 mmhg - given humidity

Relative Humidity?

Absolute/Potential x 100

Tank duration?

E cylinder = PSI x .28/LPM
H cylinder = PSI x 3.14/LPM

Shunt equation?

Qs/Qt = Cc02-Ca02/Cc02-Cv02
or
PA02-Pa02 x .003 / PA02-Pa02 x .003 + AV difference

Total Flow?

40% and above use 20, 40% and below use 21 in magic box.
Add the ratio numbers
Times by the flow

02 Content (Ca02)?

Ca02 = (Hgb x 1.34 x Sat) + (.003 x Pa02)

P(A-a)02 gradient?

PA02 - Pa02

I:E Ratio

Vt/It=peak flow/60
TT=IT+ET
TT=60/RR
RR=60/TT

AV difference

CaO2-CvO2

Static compliance (ESC)

Vt / (Plateau pressure - PEEP)
Units: ml/cmh20

Dynamic compliance

Vt / (Peak pressure - PEEP)
Units: ml/cmh20

RAW

(Peak pressure - Plateau pressure)/ Flow (L/Sec)
Convert L/Min to L/Sec by L/Min / 60
Units= cmH2O/L/Sec

Minute Ventilation

Vt x RR

Alveolar Minute Ventilation

(Vt - Dead space) x RR

Catheter size for ET tube

1/2 of a size ET tube x 3
(Use next size up if answer isnt there)

Ideal Body weight

5'=100 lbs, every 1" after add 5 lbs

Dynamic Pressure is also what?

PIP

Static pressure is also what?

SIP and Plateau pressure

Frequency

60 / time of inspiration and expiration in secs

Vd/Vt

[(PaC02-PeC02) / PaC02 ] x 100 = percent
Percent x Vt = Vd

Ideal Pa02

105 - (age/2)

Circuit compression factor

Expired volume/PIP after wye on vent is occluded

Circuit compression volume

PIP-PEEP x Circuit compression factor

Corrected tidal volume

Expired volume - circuit compressible volume

Lung compliance

change in Volume / change in Pressure

Expected Pa02

Fi02 x 5

Weaning parameters

5 ml x kg= needed Vt
or 10 mg x kg =needed VC
NIF or MIP >-20.
Rapid Shallow index < 100 *Resp. Rate and MV must be stable

Pack year

years smoking x Packs per day

Qt (cardiac output)

V02/ (A-V) x 10stroke volume x HR

Rapid Shallow Breathing index

RR/Vt (in liters)

V02 and/or CO

VO2 = Q (CaO2 - CvO2)10
Q= V02/(Ca02 - Cv02)10

Hematocrit

Hb x 3

80:20 HE flow

02 flow x 1.8

70:30 HE flow

02 flow x 1.6

Cardiac index

CI= CO/Body surface area
