Application to assist in Respiratory Therapy.

Among the calculations are:

* Arterial blood gases - Arterial blood gas analysis provides essential information on blood oxygenation, ventilation (carbon dioxide removal) and acid base balance, through pH - pCO² - PAO² - HCO² - BE- SATO².

* Time Constant - The time constant calculation aims to set the appropriate inspiratory time for a patient with ARDS lung. A time constant of mechanical ventilation corresponds to the time required for intra-alveolar pressure reaches 63% of the pressure measured in the proximal portion of the endotracheal tube.

* Tobin Index - is an evaluation index of rapid shallow breathing, ie evaluates the dependency of the patient to the ventilator. Assists in weaning.

* Volume minute ideally Respiratory minute volume is the total amount of fresh air that is moved to the airways every minute. normal values ​​of 6 L / m in adults.

* Alveolar ventilation - is the rate at which the new air reaches the areas of gas exchange in the lung alveoli.

* Oxygen arteral Content - The amount of oxygen dissolved in the plasma with bound to hemoglobin is the CONTENT BLOOD OXYGEN (CaO²).

RAW * - Respiratory System Resistance (RAW) is based on the same physical principles related to passage of a fluid through a tubo.A any resistance (R) of the tube corresponds to the ratio of the pressure difference (delta pressure ) between the two ends thereof and the flow rate (delta pressure / flow).

* Static Compliance - The Static Compliance is a parameter that evaluates the elasticity of the system respiratório.É calculated as the ratio between the volume change (volume delta) relative to the pressure change (delta pressure).

Dynamic Compliance * - Dynamic Compliance (Cdyn) is the ability of the respiratory system to accommodate the volume and gas flow.

It includes the elastic and resistive properties of sitema.

* Relationship Pao² / FIO² - The PAO / FIO² is the relationship between oxygenation and the need for supplemental oxygen.

* Weight Foretold - During Ventilatory assistance Mechanical many patients are ventilated randomly without calculating the tidal volume (Vt) it would be "ideal" for each separately. Through the calculation may appropriately adjust the total volume by weight predicted according to the gender and height of patients in an ICU in vm.

* NO in Neonatology - NO: Nitric oxide is a specific pulmonary vasodilator this calculation serves to administer the NO prescribed by the doctor correctly for infants with pulmonary hypertension.

* Eat Glasgow - Glasgow Scale is a neurological scale that measures the level of post traumatic brain injury awareness.

* Drive Pressure - Pressure Drive (difference between plateau pressure and PEEP)

* Ramsay Scale - Ramsay scale, is a kind of subjective scale used to assess the degree of sedation in patients.

* PAO²Idade - The calculation used to indicate the partial pressure of oxygen according to age, depending on the outcome is tolerable.

* FiO2 ideally This calculation aims to offer the ideal concentration of oxygen for mechanically ventilated patient, by using the calculation result of PAO²Idade, the FIO² offered in mechanical ventilator and PAO² Blood gas analysis.

* FIO²Estimada - The calculation helps to know the percentage of correct oxygen supplied at the time.

* PCO²Esperado - The calculation is to correctly adjust the PCO 2 by mechanical ventilation for a result of acidosis or metabolic alkalosis.

* BMI - Body mass index is a measure used to measure obesity adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is the international standard for assessing the degree of obesity.
