You just got a job in the respiratory department of a large

You just got a job in the respiratory department of a large teaching hospital. You notice that the respirators are calibrated in cmH₂O instead of atm or mmHg! The conversion chart that came with the new machine states that 1 mmHg = 1.36 cmH₂O. How would you set the respirator to deliver a pressure of 80 mmHg?
