You are asked to assess the alveolar ventilation for a patient weighing 65 kg (IBW) and receiving a Vt of 600 mL who is being mechanically ventilated. You are given the following blood gas results and data:ABG: pH 7.49/ PaCO2 30/ PaO2 100/ HCO3 26, PECO2 = 10 torr, f = 22 bpm Calculate the alveolar ventilation in a single breath in mL.

The KING airway has two different cuffs. The distal cuff inflates in the esophagus. Isolates the laryngopharynx from the esophagus. The proximal cuff inflates at the base of the tongue. Isolates the laryngopharynx from the oropharynx and nasopharynx.
