Multiple Choice
The formula used for the calculation of static compliance (CS) is which of the following?
A) (Peak pressure (PIP) - EEP) /tidal volume (VT) <equation> CS = (PIP-EEP) /VT
B) (Plateau pressure (Pplateau) - EEP/tidal volume (VT) <equation> CS = (Pplateau - EEP) /VT
C) Tidal volume/(plateau pressure - EEP) <equation> CS = VT/(Pplateau - EEP)
D) Tidal volume /(peak pressure (PIP) - plateau pressure (Pplateau ) ) <equation> CS = VT /(PIP- Pplateau)
