Oxygen therapy & respiratory calculations worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The gauge on a size D oxygen cylinder reads 1450 psi. Its cylinder factor is 0.16 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 E oxygen cylinder reads 750 psi. Its cylinder factor is 0.28 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 ventilated patient who meets the other Berlin criteria for ARDS has PaO₂ 49 mmHg (6.5 kPa) on 80% oxygen with a PEEP of 8 cmH₂O. Calculate the P/F ratio and click the ARDS severity.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient has Hb 114 g/L, SaO₂ 93% and PaO₂ 68 mmHg (9.1 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 168 cm tall and weighs 74 kg. Lung-protective ventilation is set at 5 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 ventilated man is 169 cm tall and weighs 85 kg. Lung-protective ventilation is set at 4 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.
