Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient receives oxygen by nasal cannula at 1 L/min. Using FiO₂ ≈ 21% + 4% per L/min, estimate the inspired oxygen FiO₂ in percent.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A ventilated patient who meets the other Berlin criteria for ARDS has PaO₂ 84 mmHg (11.2 kPa) on 40% oxygen with a PEEP of 5 cmH₂O. Calculate the P/F ratio and click the ARDS severity.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A size H oxygen cylinder (factor 3.14 L/psi) reads 1950 psi and runs at 15 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 transfer will take 40 minutes. The size E cylinder (factor 0.28 L/psi) reads 1250 psi. Keeping a safe residual of 200 psi, what is the highest whole-number flow Q in L/min that lasts the whole transfer?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A transfer will take 30 minutes. The size E cylinder (factor 0.28 L/psi) reads 1850 psi. Keeping a safe residual of 200 psi, what is the highest whole-number flow Q in L/min that lasts the whole transfer?
Answer key
- 1. V = 280 L
- 2. FiO₂ = 25 %
- 3. mild
- 4. t = 366 min
- 5. Q = 7 L/min
- 6. Q = 15 L/min
