Math Concepts II Flashcards
A ___ ___ gives a linear relationship of volume to time
constant flow
Plot of volume as a function of time for inspiration of a patient on a constant flow ventilator is _____
linear
emptying of a fluid plots a(n) _____ _____ curve
exponentially decreasing
plot of concentration of a substance as the inflow = outflow (i.e. water emptying a concentrated mud bath)
exponentially decreasing
In a(n) ______ ______ the rate of change of a quantity at any time is proportional to the quantity at that time.
exponential process
hematocrit equation
hematrocrit = RBCs/blood volume with blood volume being constant
as red blood cell volume decreases, the hematocrit ________
decreases assuming volume stays constant
acceptable estimated blood (EBV) constants
infants: 80 males: 70 females :60
estimating acceptable blood loss equation
((Hcti-Hcta)/ HctAVG)(EBVi)=EBLa which is initial hct - acceptable hct divided by the avg HCT times estimated blood volume (constant).
blood loss example should be calculated with using the _____ hematocrit
average (for BIGGs test)
clinically, blood loss should be calculated using the _____ hematocrit
initial; to prevent too much blood volume being lost
blood loss replacement ratio for blood and fresh frozen plasma
1:1
blood loss replacement ratio for colloids
1:1
blood loss replacement ratio for crystalloids
3:1
what are examples of colloids?
5% albumin, 6% Hespan,Hextend
what are examples of crystalloids?
NS, LR, D5W, plasmalyte
time constant definition
the time at which the process would have been complete had the initial rate of change continued
1/e^1 time constant is
37% (100%-37%=63%)
1/e^2 time constant is
13.5% (100%-13.5%= 86.5%)
1/e^5 time constant is
0.67%
