Calculate the dynamic compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 500 mL,peak inspiratory time (PIP)35 cm H₂O,plateau pressure (Pₚₗₐₜₑₐᵤ)20 cm H₂O,positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)5 cm H₂O,and tubing compliance (Cᴛ)2.5 mL/cm H₂O.
A) 11.8 mL/cm H₂O
B) 14.2 mL/cm H₂O
C) 25 mL/cm H₂O
D) 46.2 mL/cm H₂O

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dynamic compliance = tidal volume (Vᴛ)- [(PIP - PEEP)× Cᴛ]/(PIP - PEEP)= 500 - [(35 - 5)× 2.5]/(35 - 5)= 14.2 mL/cm H₂O.
