What is the formula for AA gradient?

PAO2 - PaO2 ****************************************** PAO2 is the Alveolar Air Equation: PAO2 = FiO2 (Pb- Ph20) - PACO2/R Notes: Pb = 760 mmHg Ph20 = 47 mmHg R = 0.8


What does a low mean deviation means?

A low standard deviation would mean that there is not much variation from the mean value of the data.


A paco2 of 65 and a pao2 of 88 what do these results mean?

high level of carbon dioxide in the blood stream which could be from a multitude of reasons. At 65 mm hg, the CO2 level is very high relative to normal range of 35 o 45. The PAO2 is in normal range at 88. The high PACO2 would cause the pH of the blood to be elevated without increased bicarbonates from the kidney or external delivery to compensate.


What does a low U-value mean?

It can also be referred to as an 'overall heat transfer co-efficient' and measures how well parts of a building transfer heat. This means that the higher the U value the worse the thermal performance of the building envelope. A low U value usually indicates high levels of insulation.


If an outlier is included with a sample of 50 values all of which are the same what is the effect of the outlier on the mean?

By definition, an outlier will not have the same value as other data points in the dataset. So, the correct question is "What is the effect of an outlier on a dataset's mean." The answer is that the outlier moves the mean away from the value of the other 49 identical values. If the outlier is the "high tail" the mean is moved to a higher value. If the outlier is a "low tail" the mean is moved to a lower value.

If PAO2 is low and bicarb is low what is the problem?

If PAO2 is low...... Then PaO2 would be low........ Then low SaO2.....then low content CaO2..... Then low DO2.... Then Hypoxia.....lactic acidosis( anaerobic glycolysis), isn't it?


What is importance of PaO2?

A PaO2 is the level of oxygen in your arterial blood. If it is too low, it can cause significant loss in brain function. It can also cause organ failure. If the PaO2 is low, it will cause shortness of breath and also confusion.


How do you increase pao2 with mechanical ventilation?

In manual ventilation you can increase the PaO2 by hyperventilating the patient, by increasing the respiratory rate and/or by increasing the volume of air that you deliver to the patient. If using a BVM for example, compressing the bag faster and/or harder will increase the arterial oxygen pressure, but there is a limit to what you can do with manual ventilation. Perfusion in the lungs has a major impact on PaO2. Also, the blood chenistry (anemia or CO2 poisoning) for example will dramatically decrease the PaO2. Sometimes no matter how much you hyperventilate the person, low PaO2 can't be corrected.

What is the normal range of PAO2 - PaO2 for healthy young adults breathing room air?

10 - 15 mm Hg.


What is the normal value of PaO2?

Arterial values should be between 85 and 100 mmHg, Venous values should be between 30 and 40 mmHg.


What does a low mean absolute deviation mean?

It means that the observations are all close to their mean value.


What does a low mean deviation means?

A low standard deviation would mean that there is not much variation from the mean value of the data.
