5A: OLD Flashcards
What is the effect of air quality on OTS?
Poor air quality will increase issues due to lower oxygen inspiration
What % of air is oxygen?
21%
How does the airway affect OTS?
If the airway is open or has any blockages it can impact gas diffusion
What effect do the lungs and chest wall have on OTS?
Compliance properties
What is diffusion?
Movement of gas from airway to capillary and back
What is the definition of perfusion?
Distribution of blood
How does myocardial function affect OTS?
CO to generate good flow and pressure
What % of oxygen do tissues extract from the blood at rest?
23%
What is the formula for oxygen delivery (DO2)?
Arterial oxygen content X CO
What is oxygen consumption (VO2)?
Amount of oxygen needed at the cell for anaerobic metabolism
What is the formula for VO2?
(Arterial - venous oxygen content) X CO
What is the oxygen extraction ratio (OER)?
How much oxygen is really being used
What is the OER equation?
VO2/DO2
What is dissociation in relation to the oxygen dissociation curve?
Releasing of oxygen from hemoglobin
At what pressure does O2 rapidly drop off hemoglobin?
< 50 mmHg
