Calculate the static compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 600 mL,peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)40 cm H₂O,plateau pressure (Pₚₗₐₜₑₐᵤ)30 cm H₂O,positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)15 cm H₂O,and tubing compliance Cᴛ2 mL/cm H₂O.
A) 14.5 mL/cm H₂O
B) 38 mL/cm H₂O
C) 55 mL/cm H₂O
D) 58 mL/cm H₂O

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Static compliance = tidal volume (Vᴛ)- [(Pₚₗₐₜₑₐᵤ - PEEP)× CT]/(Pₚₗₐₜₑₐᵤ - PEEP)= 600 - [(30 - 15)× 2]/30 - 15 = 570/15 = 38 mL/cm H₂O.
