During transport,an infant who is using a Bio-Med MVP-10 unit in the intermittent mandatory ventilation mode with 60% fractional inspired oxygen requires 3 L/min of oxygen and 2 L/min of air to maintain the fractional inspired oxygen and desired peak pressure.An E cylinder with 2200 pounds per square inch gauge of oxygen would last _____ minutes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure of gas supply = tank pressure * conversion factor = 2200 pounds per square inch gauge * 0.28 = 622 L.622 L ÷ (3 L/min for the oxygen + 4 L/min for the fluidic logic)= 622 ÷ 7 = 88.8 minutes.
