COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
⩥ PIO2 =. Answer: PiO2 = (Patm- PH2O) x FiO2
⩥ Patm (atmospheric pressure at sea level). Answer: 760mmHg
⩥ PH2O (water vapor pressure). Answer: 47mmHg at body temperature
⩥ FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen). Answer: 21% (at room air)
⩥ alveolar equation. Answer: PAO2= FiO2 (PB-PH20) - PACO2/RQ
⩥ RQ (respiratory quotient). Answer: 0.8
⩥ 1 atm of pressure. Answer: 760mmHg (or 101.3kPa)
⩥ estimated creatinine clearance. Answer: eCCr = (140-age)x mass (kg)
x [0.85 if female] / 72 x [serum creatinine in mg/dL]
,⩥ sugammadex (bridion) warning. Answer: *not recommended for use
in those with CrCl <30mL/min
⩥ boyle's law. Answer: P1V2= P2V2 *at constant T, as pressure
increases, volume increases
⩥ charles' law. Answer: V1/T1= V2/T2 *at constant P, as volume
increases, temperature increases
⩥ gay-lussac's law. Answer: P1/T1 = P2/T2 *at constant V, as pressure
increases, temperature increases
⩥ combined law. Answer: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 *obtained by combining
boyle's, charles', and gay-lussac's
⩥ ideal gas law. Answer: PV= nRT
⩥ when powers are multiplied, the exponents are..... Answer: ADDED
⩥ when powers are divided, the exponents are.... Answer:
SUBTRACTED
⩥ drug percentages. Answer: based on grams/100mL
, ⩥ drug ratios. Answer: based on grams/mL
⩥ to find the slope of a straight line. Answer: y = mx + b
⩥ rules of significant figures. Answer: -non zero digits are significant
-captive zeros (zeros between non-zero digits) are significant
-leading zeros (at the beginning of a number and to the let of non zero
digits) are never significant
-trailing zeros (at the end of a number and to the right of non zero digits)
are only significant if the number has a decimal point
⩥ quantity. Answer: something that has: magnitude, size, or amount
(volume)
⩥ accuracy. Answer: -compares individual measurements to the actual or
accepted true value
*improved by repeating measurements and taking averages
*best assessed by calculating percentages
