Calculate the effective static compliance (Cs) given the following information about a patient receiving mechanical ventilation: peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is 56 cm H₂O,plateau pressure (Pₚₗₐₜₑₐᵤ) is 40 cm H₂O,exhaled tidal volume (Vᴛ) is 650 mL,and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is 10 cm H₂O.
A) 14.1 mL/cm H₂O
B) 16.3 mL/cm H₂O
