Which of the following formulas is used to compute the mechanical work of breathing?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula used to compute the mechanical work of breathing is change in pressure times change in volume. This is represented by the formula: Work = ΔP × ΔV. Option C represents this formula correctly, where F1 is the initial fraction of inspired oxygen and F10 is the fraction of inspired oxygen at 10 liters per minute flowrate, but they are not relevant to the calculation of mechanical work of breathing. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct formula for calculating the mechanical work of breathing.
