Compute the inspiratory time necessary to ensure 100% of the volume is delivered to an intubated patient with a Cs = 60 mL/cm H₂O and the R_aw = 6 cm H₂O/(L/sec). A) 0.36 second B) 0.5 second C) 1.4 second D) 1.8 second

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Time constant (TC)= C (L/cm H₂O)× R (cm H₂O/(L/sec)).100% of the volume will be delivered in 5 time constants.Therefore,multiply 5 times the time constant.
