Calculate the static compliance using the information from the scalar below
a. 10 mL/cm H2O
b. 16 mL/cm H2O
c. 20 mL/cm H2O
d. 80 mL/cm H2O
ANS: C
The volume is 400 mL, the plateau pressure (PPlateau) is 25 cm H2O, and the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is set at 5 cm H2O. Static compliance = volume returned/Pplateau.
