Introduction:
The partial pressure of oxygen in the sea is about 100 mm Hg while that in a solution is equal to 3 mL O2/L of blood. Oxygen is carried by the blood in two forms, that is, the dissolved form and bound to Hb (hemoglobin).
Please refer to Clinical Application Case-2 for further information.
Explanation of Solution
The total oxygen content of arterial blood is denoted by
Putting the values of Hb as 15 g/dL,
Putting the values of Hb as 15 g/dL,
Total oxygen delivery can be calculated by using the following formula:
Putting the values of QT as 3.83 and
Putting the values of QT as 3.1 and
The difference between
The best PEEP was 5 cm
Therefore, it can be concluded that the best PEEP was 5 cm

- 20. At end-expiration, is A. 0 mm Hg. B. 2 mm Hg. C. 4 mm Hg. D. 6 mm Hg.arrow_forwardCase 2 As a result of the hyperinflation, the patient's work of breathing increased because her lungs were inflated to the very top of their pressure- volume curve. As the pressure-volume curve illustrates, lung compliance is very (high __________; low_______) on the upper, flat portion of the pressure-volume curve.arrow_forward3. At sea level, a diver has the following: • Lung volume: 6 L • Pressure within the lungs: 755 mm Hg If this individual dives to a depth of 99 feet and compresses the lung volume to 2 L, what will be the pressure within the diver's lungs? A. 960 mm Hg B. 1420 mm Hg C. 1765 mm Hg D. 2265 mm Hgarrow_forward

- Case 2 The fact that the initial pH (7.10) and HCO3- (21 mEq/L) were both lower than expected for an acute increase in the Paco2(70 mm Hg) suggested that there were additional ____________ present in the patients blood.arrow_forwardIf a patient is receiving an FIO2 of 0.60 on a day when the barometric pressure is 725 mm Hg, and if the Paco2 is 50 mm Hg, what is the patients alveolar oxygen tension (PAo2)? A. 177 mm Hg B. 233 mm Hg C. 344 mm Hg D. 415 mm Hgarrow_forwardCase 2 As the airway resistance increased in this case, the alveoli distal to the bronchial constriction required (shorter______; longer_______) time to inflate. These alveoli are said to have a (short______; long _________) time constant.arrow_forward
