Respiratory Formulas, Calculations, and Equations – The Ultimate Video Guide!
💥Click Here for the Full Guide ➜ ➜ ➜ http://bit.ly/2t85Dop

I bet when you signed up for Respiratory Therapy School, you probably were not expecting to do much math, am I right?

Because, I mean, this is a healthcare program that teaches you how to care for patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. How much math could there possibly be? Well if you're like me, you were probably pretty shocked to find out that there are several formulas, calculations, and equations that you're required to know.

If I'm being honest, I was not very pleased to find this out. But, with that said, I have some good news. Most of the calculations that you will have to do are very simple, If, that is, here's the key. They're simple as long as you know the formula. If you know the formulas, the math is very simple because all you have to do is plug the numbers in and work it out. In this video, we're simply going to cover all the formulas that you'll see in Respiratory Therapy School. Some are harder than others but most are very simple.

💡Examples of Respiratory Therapy Formulas:

Minute Ventilation (VE)
VE = Respiratory Rate x Tidal Volume

Alveolar Minute Ventilation (VA)
VA = Respiratory Rate x (Tidal Volume – Deadspace)

Airway Resistance (Raw)
Raw = (PIP – Plateau pressure) / Flow

Mean Airway Pressure (Paw)
Paw = ((Inspiratory Time x Frequency) / 60) x (PIP – PEEP) + PEEP

Work of Breathing (WOB)
WOB = Change in Pressure x Change in Volume

Alveolar-Arterial Oxygen Tension Gradient (P(A-a)O2)
P(A-a)O2 = PAO2 – PaO2

Alveolar Oxygen Tension (PAO2)
PAO2 = (PB – PH2O) x FiO2 – (PaCO2 / 0.8)

Arterial/Alveolar Oxygen Tension (a/A) Ratio
(a/A) Ratio = PaO2/PAO2

Arterial Oxygen Content (CaO2)
CaO2 = (Hb x 1.34 x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)

End-Capillary Oxygen Content (CcO2)
CcO2 = (Hb x 1.34 x SaO2) + (PAO2 x 0.003)

Mixed Venous Oxygen Content (CvO2)
CvO2 = (Hb x 1.34 x SvO2) + (PvO2 x 0.003)

Shunt Equation (QS/QT)
QS/QT = (CcO2 – CaO2) / (CcO2 – CvO2)

Modified Shunt Equation (QS/QT)
QS/QT = ((PAO2 – PaO2) x 0.003) / ((CaO2 – CvO2) + (PAO2 – PaO2) x 0.003)

Arterial-Mixed Venous Oxygen Content Difference (C(a-v)O2)
C(a-v)O2 = CaO2 – CvO2

Oxygen-to-Air Entrainment Ratio (O2:Air)
O2:Air = 1 : (100 – FiO2) / (FiO2 – 2)
