Q

what are two ways to calculate the O2 maintenance requirement?

A 
VO2 = 10*kg^0.75 = ml/min or 
VO2 = 2.5*kg+67.5 = ml/min

A

increased

increased

21

  1. never turn down a break
  2. You can always give more
  3. Go ahead it is not my MAMA
  4. Tank ‘em till they froth, then back off
  5. Give them what they need add it up later
  6. Straighten out your lines , keep them that way
  7. There is always an exception to what you think you know
  8. Learn how to disagree without being disagreeable
