During the morning shift brief, the pilot stated that the current combined
crew weight and increased density altitutde due to hight temperatures, the
maximum patient weight from the helipad is only 150 pounds.
This is understood to be consistent with what law?
Charles'
Dalton's
Boyle's
Graham's - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Charles' Law
, Charles' Law explains that as air temperature increases, the air mass
increases in volume because the molecules are spaced farter apart,
creating an environment where wings, rotors, and propellers have less
molecules to work with, making them less efficient. Dalton's law explains
gas mixtures. Boyle's Law explains atmospheric pressure. Graham's law
explains effect or molecular weight diffusion and effusion
Yoou are transporting a patient diagnosed with ischemic bowel with
trapped peritoneal gas. Upon reaching cruise altitude, the patient starts
experiencing excruciating abdominal pain due to gas expansion. This
phenomenon can be best explained by what law? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Boyle's
Law
Boyle's law explains the effect of changing atmospheric pressure on gas
within a flexible container. Charles' law explains the relationship between
volume and absolute temperature at constant pressure. Henry's Law
explains the relationship between gas dissolving into liquids and the
pressure above the liquid. Graham's law explains effect of molecular weight
diffusion and effusion
