02.05 Calculating PAWP on PEEP for CCRN Review
Included In This Lesson
Outline
Nursing Points
General
- Calculating PAWP on PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure)
- For use when patient’s PEEP > 10 cm Hcm H
2O- Increased PEEP increases intrathoracic pressure, altering the actual PAWP
- PEEP is measured in cm H
2O- Have to convert cm H
2O to mmHg
- Have to convert cm H
- For accurate PAWP
- PEEP divided by 1.36
- Divided by 2
- Subtract your answer from the PAWP
- For use when patient’s PEEP > 10 cm Hcm H
