Change in lung volume resulting from a unit of pressure change is known as which of the following?

During each cycle of normal resting ventilation, a volume of gas is moved into and out of the respiratory tract. This cyclical volume is called the

What is the single best indicator of the adequacy or effectiveness of alveolar ventilation?

Calculate the estimated airway resistance (Raw) of a patient whose peak airway pressure is 60 cmH20 and plateau pressure is 40 cmH20. The ventilator flow rate is set at 60 L/min.

Blockage of the pulmonary arterial circulation to a portion of the lung would cause which of the following?

How is airway resistance (Raw) computed?

What causes air to move in or out of the lungs while keeping the lungs in an inflated state?

Which of the following factors affects Raw?1. Pattern of gas flow (e.g., laminar vs. turbulent)2. Characteristics of the gas being breathed3. Diameter and length of the airways4. Variations in lung compliance

What is the normal CL?
