Cardiac Anesthesiology Made Ridiculously Simple

bed you will have to take the angle into account and few can do trigonometry in your head. I will be glad to test you on this point. Then take the 5 mHz probe and map out the path of the carotid and the IJ. The IJ is bigger and collapses under pressure, the carotid is round and doesn't collapse under reasonable pressure.

Peak pressure Plateau pressure Resisitive pressure; “Ohmic Resistance” Elastic pressure As soon as the flow stops, airway resistance falls and the pressure – formerly required to push air through the airway- drops to a plateau. Difference between this plateau and the peak pressure therefore must be the

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate - University of Glasgow

Peak expiratory flow is a simple and easy, yet essential diagnostic tool used to assess asthma severity. Peak flow is also an important measure of the effectiveness of treatment with bronchodilator therapy. Peak flow meters (EU/EN ISO standard) are handheld devices used to measure PEFR in the ambulatory setting. ...
