10. Calculate airway resistance (Raw) for a ventilator patient, in cm H2O/L/sec, with the
following information: Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is 20 cm H2O, plateau pressure
(Pplateau) is 15 cm H2O, PEEP is 5 cm H2O, and set flow rate is 50 L/min.
a. 5 Raw
b. 6 Raw
c. 10 Raw
d. 15 Raw - Answer✔✔-B 6 Raw
Raw = (PIP - Pplateau)/flow
Remember to convert 50L/min to seconds, so 50/60 = .833 and 5 / .833 = 6.02
11. Calculate the static compliance (CS), in mL/cm H2O, when PIP is 47 cm H2O,
plateau pressure (Pplateau) is 27 cm H2O, baseline pressure is 10 cm H2O, and
exhaled tidal volume (VT) is 725 mL.
a. 43 CS
b. 36 CS
