The respiratory therapist has obtained a blood gas from a patient. Thirty five minutes later, he runs the blood sample and obtains the following results: pH 7.47, PaCO2 45, PaO2 92, HCO3 18Based on this information, the respiratory should expect the sample

A 35-year-old man aptient is on non-invasive ventilatio (NIV) on a day when the barometric pressure is 760 mm Hg. The patient is receiving an FIO2 of 0.50. The following clinical data are calculated: Aterial oxygen content (CaO2) of 19.2 mL/dL, Capillary ooxygen content  (CcO2) of 22.8 mL/dL and a mixed venous oxygen content of 10.0 mL/dL. After calculating your shunt equation (Qs/Qt), what is the estimated pourcentage of your patient pulmonary  blood flow perfusing lung aveoli that is not being ventilated?

Alex, a veterinary technician, has an extremely crowded waiting room. He begins to take a history of a dog whose owner reports is lethargic and has lost its appetite. The owner goes into a lot of detail about the history of her dog’s complaint, but Alex hears a lot of noise escalating from the waiting room. Eager to get moving, Alex jots down the basics of the patient’s history only and moves on to the next patient. How would you have handled this situation?

Order the lymphatic vessels by order of flow of lymph fluid. Start with where the fluid first enters the lymphatic system (match that with #1 on the left) and end with the vessel that dumps the fluid back into veins (Match that with #4 on the left). 

According to: For a 100,000 ft2 school if the initial calculated load was 1,300,000 VA the calculate the overall load is:

Consider a 11-unit office building where each unit contains one A/C rated at single phase 5hp 200V The full load current for one would be: [flc1] One motor load would then be: [loadVA] The total load for all these A/C would be: [totalLoad]

Consider a 10-unit office building where each unit contains one A/C rated at single phase 3hp 230V The full load current for one would be: [flc1] One motor load would then be: [loadVA] The total load for all these A/C would be: [totalLoad]

A water heater rated at 5 KVA, 240V, 1-phase will have a calculated current rating of 23.5A

A representative sample is one that accurately reflects a larger:
