TMC Prep

Equations/ Other

QuestionAnswer
Hemoglobin (HB) Range 12-16
Deadspace/ Tidal Volume Ratio Short Name Vd/ Vt
Only Ventilation Equation Vd/Vt
Vd/Vt range 20-40%
Vd/Vt equation PaCO-PECOx100/PaCO
Vd/Vt range on ventilator Up tp 60%
High Vd/Vt indicates Pulmonary embolus
Alveolar Oxygen Tension Equation Short Name PAO2 (alveolar air equation)
PAO2 equation (O2% x 7)- (PaCO2 + 10)
A-a Gradient Short Name A-aDO2
A-aDO2 Equation PAO2-PaO2
A-aDO2 range 25-65 mmHg
A-aDO2 of >65 but <300 mmHg indicates... V/Q mismatch
A-aDO2 >300 mmHg indicates... Shunt (venous admixture)
Arterial Oxygen Content Short Name CaO2
CaO2 equation HB x 1.34
CaO2 Range 17-20 vol%
Formula that best indicates relationship to tissues oxygenation CaO2
Venous Oxygen Content Short Name CvO2
CvO2 Equation =HB
CvO2 Range 14-16%
Best place to draw for CvO2 Pulmonary artery (need mixed venous blood)
Decreasing CvO2 values realtes to... decreasing cardaic output
Arterial-venous oxygen content difference short name C(a-v)O2
C(a-v)O2 Equation CaO2-CvO2
C(a-v)O2 Range 4-5%
C(a-v)O2 relationship with cardiac output C(a-v)O2 increases-cardiac output decreases
P/F Ratio Equation PaO2/FiO2
P/F Ratio Normal Range >380
P/F Ratio <300 indicates... Acute Lung Injury
P/F Ratio <200 indicates ARDS
Oxygen Index (OI) Formula Mean airway pressure X %O2/ PaO2
Normal OI Value <20
OI >30 indicates use of ARDS protocol
OI >40 indicates use of ECMO
Shut Equation Short Name QS/QT
QS/QT Equation Take first # of A-aDO2 (300) Add +1 (3+1=4) Mutiply by 5 (4x5) (Shunt=20%)
QS/QT Range 3-5%
Estimation of Saturation Equation PaO2+30 *only works when PaO2 is 40-60 torr
R Shift in Oxygen Dissociation Curve decreased pH-acidosis; decreased O2 affinity
L Shift in Oxygen Dissociation Curve increased pH-alkalosis- increased O2 affinity
Cardiac Output Equation (QT) VO2/ C(a-v)O2 X10 (Or Stroke Volume X HR) *Must be given VO2 or have info to calculate C(a-v)O2
Cardiac Index (CI) Equation C.O./ BSA
CI and C.O. relationship CI=C.O./ 2m2 CI- L/min/m2
Umbilical Artery Cath (UCA) on X-Ray @ L3
Neonate PaO2 Range 60-80 torr

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
