Programmable calculator: a program for use in the intensive care unit. 1979

G N Kenny

A program has been prepared for use in a small programmable calculator to allow the rapid and accurate determination of derived data. Changes in oxygen availability, deadspace and shunt fraction can be obtained in a few seconds and therapy altered accordingly. FIO2 required to produce a desired PaO2 can be obtained using the iso-shunt concept.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.
