What is the static lung compliance when the returned tidal volume is 700 mL,the positive end-expiratory pressure is 10 cm H₂O,the peak inspiratory pressure is 45 cm H₂O,and the plateau pressure is 35 cm H₂O?
A) 0.160 L/cm H₂O
B) 0.020 L/cm H₂O
C) 0.028 L/cm H₂O
D) 0.735 L/cm H₂O

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Static lung compliance = Volume ÷ (Plateau pressure - Positive end-expiratory pressure)= 0.7 L ÷ (45 cm H₂O - 10 cm H₂O)= 0.7 L ÷ 35 cm H₂O = 0.02 L/cm H₂O.
