Question

help on part B and C

Increase the rate of flowe B. You set up an aerosol T-tube at 55% oxygen using a large reservoir nebulizer with an adjustable entrainment port. You have the flowmeter set at 15 LPM. The physician asks you to calculate the total flow available to the patient, since his Spo, is not stable. 1. Calculate the total flow. 100 34 55 21 45 2. Is it possible that your calculated total flow could be inadequate for the patient? Support your answer. C. A patient is breathing at a respiratory rate of 30 breaths per minute. Her tidal volume is 0.5 liters and she inhales for half a second. She is receiving oxygen via a jet nebu the flowmeter set on 12 LPM. Is the system capable of meeting the patient's inspiratory flow? (Hint: establish the patient's inspiratory flowrate using volume/time.) Lab Five: Nebulizers
