The formula to calculate the Oxygen Flow Rate (OFR) is:
\[ \text{OFR} = \text{TV} \times \text{RR} \]
Where:
Oxygen Flow Rate (OFR) is a measure used in medical and respiratory care to determine the amount of oxygen being delivered to a patient. It is calculated by multiplying the tidal volume (the amount of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation) by the respiration rate (the number of breaths per minute). This metric is crucial for ensuring that patients receive the appropriate amount of oxygen based on their respiratory needs.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the tidal volume by the respiration rate:
\[ \text{OFR} = 500 \times 12 = 6000 \text{ mL/min} \]
Therefore, the Oxygen Flow Rate is 6000 mL/min.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Multiply the tidal volume by the respiration rate:
\[ \text{OFR} = 450 \times 15 = 6750 \text{ mL/min} \]
Therefore, the Oxygen Flow Rate is 6750 mL/min.
