B4-023 Mechanics of Ventilation Flashcards
inspiration is [active/passive]
active
expiration is [active/passive]
passive
lungs intrinsic tendency to deflate following inhalation
elastic recoil
PPL at rest is always
-5
when no airflow, PA is always
0
transpulmonary pressure equation
PA-PPL
pressure of gas is […] related to volume
inversely
increasing the lung volume […] pressure
decreases
air can enter lung
decreasing lung volume […] pressure
increases
air exits
normal atmospheric pressure adjusts to […] cm H20 for ventilation equations
0 cm H2O
at rest with no inspiration, atmospheric and alveolar pressures are
zero
intrapleural pressure is […] than atmospheric pressure
less
less than 0
at rest, intrapleural pressure is
-5 cm H2O
during inspiration, intrapleural pressure decreases to
-8 cm H2O
as the lungs increase in size, alveolar pressure
decreases
near the end of inspiration, alveolar pressure is
-1 cm H2O
alveoli increase in size, causes air to enter lungs
what is happening in the respiratory cycle mid inspiration?
discuss volume, alveolar pressure, PPL, air flow
volume: increasing
alveolar pressure: decreasing
PPL: decreasing
air flowing into lungs
what is happening in the respiratory cycle at end of inspiration?
discuss volume, alveolar pressure, PPL, air flow
volume: has reached tidal volume
alveolar pressure: zero
PPL: -8 cm H2O
air flow has ceased
as lungs increase in size, alveolar pressure
decreases
pressure needed to keep lungs inflated
TPP
at rest, PTP is
5 cm H2O
relationship between PTP and PPL in static conditions
PTP= -PPL
when given in a problem, FRC means
at rest
decreasing volume during expiration returns PPL to
-5 cm H2O
during expiration, alveolar pressure increases to
+1 cm H2O
