Outline

Nursing Points

General

  1. Calculating PAWP on PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure)
    1. For use when patient’s PEEP > 10 cm Hcm H
      2
      O

      1. Increased PEEP increases intrathoracic pressure, altering the actual PAWP
    2. PEEP is measured in cm H
      2
      O

      1. Have to convert cm H
        2
        O
        to mmHg
    3. For accurate PAWP
      1. PEEP divided by 1.36
      2. Divided by 2
      3. Subtract your answer from the PAWP
