in balance air, fully hydrated at 33°C; barometric pressure = 760 mmHg and flow = 60 ml/min.
c. Based on the following additional airway conditions: Sample line = 7 ft, 0.055 in ID (2.13 m, 1.4 mm ID); Sample flow rate = 175 ml/
min; Welch Allyn watertrap (new/unused); Respiratory rate
≥50 bpm, stable to ±3 breaths/min; Inspired/Expired time ratio = 1:2;
Barometric pressure = 760 mmHg.
