The respirаtоry cаre prаctitiоner is mоnitoring cardiopulmonary status of a patient who has a PAC and a radial pressure line inserted. She is also receiving positive pressure ventilation. Hemodynamic, ventilatory and blood gas data are shown below. Hemodynamic data Systemic blood pressure: 130/90 mmHg Pulmonary Artery systolic pressure: 40 mmHg Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure: 20 mmHg Central venous pressure: 17 mmHg Pulmonary artery wedge pressure: 12 mmHg Height 5'7", weight 140 lbs, BSA: 1.74 Sq. Meters Ventilatory Data Mode of ventilation: Volume Control FiO2: 0.80 Ventilatory Rate: 12 breaths/min Tidal volume: 650cc Arterial and Mixed Venous saturation studies: SaO2 95% SdO2 75% Hb: 15gm% Calculate this patient's O2 consumption (assume a normal Oxygen consumption index)
