Question

Copy of You have a patient whose airway flow is 50 liters/minute while the pressure at the mouth end of the airway is 35 cm H20, and the pressure at the alveolus is 5 cm H20. Select correct or incorrect for each of the following statements. The value for Raw is definitely higher than norma Incorrect B. Correct -This subject is actively exhaling The resistance value is 36 (with the common units used to describe resistance) The resistance is 0.60 (with the common units used to describe resistance) QUESTION 2 You have a patient whose airway flow is 30 liters/minute while the pressure at the mouth end of the airway is 40 cm H20, and the pressure at the alveolus is 10 cm H20. Select correct or incorrect for each of the following statements. The compliance is definitely lower than normal . correct The resistance is definitely higher than normal incorrect The resistance is 30 (with the common units used to describe resistance) The resistance is 60 (with the common units used to describe resistance)

Explanation / Answer

Que.1.airway resistance-resistance to airflow in lungs.

Air way resistance=atm.pressure-alveolar pressure.

=35-5

=30mmhg

So, 1.raw is higher than normal

2.since resistance is higher so actively exhailing.

3.incorrect

4.incorrect

Que.2 .resistance =atm.pressure-alveolar pressure

=40-10=30mmhg

1.compliance- change in lung volume per unit change in lung pressure.normal value =60-100cmH2O

So.it is correct

2 correct .since resistance is 30 mmhg

3.correct

4.incorrect
