Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

Airway resistance may be easily calculated once the peak and plateau pressures are known.The formula to calculate the airway resistance is as follows:
RAW = peak pressure - plateau pressure flow
As the pressure difference becomes greater,airway resistance increases.Airway resistance may be lowered by administering bronchodilators or anti-inflammatory agents and by keeping the airway suctioned.
