Oxygen therapy & respiratory calculations worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The gauge on a size H oxygen cylinder reads 750 psi. Its cylinder factor is 3.14 L/psi. How many litres V can be used before the safe residual of 200 psi is reached?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The gauge on a size H oxygen cylinder reads 2150 psi. Its cylinder factor is 3.14 L/psi. How many litres V can be used before the safe residual of 200 psi is reached?

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A size H oxygen cylinder (factor 3.14 L/psi) reads 550 psi and runs at 2 L/min. Keeping a safe residual of 200 psi, how many minutes t will it last? Round down to a whole minute.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has Hb 136 g/L, SaO₂ 98% and PaO₂ 104 mmHg (13.9 kPa). Find the arterial oxygen content CaO₂ = 1.34 × Hb (g/dL) × SaO₂ + 0.003 × PaO₂ (mmHg) in mL O₂/dL.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A ventilated man is 186 cm tall and weighs 137 kg. Lung-protective ventilation is set at 6 mL per kg of predicted body weight. Using PBW = 50 + 0.91 × (height cm − 152.4) kg, find the tidal volume V_T to the nearest mL.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient on high-flow nasal oxygen has SpO₂ 92% on FiO₂ 0.45 and a respiratory rate of 30/min. Find the ROX index ROX = (SpO₂/FiO₂)/RR, with SpO₂ in percent and FiO₂ as a fraction. Round to two decimal places.
