Chapter 18 Flashcards
Hypoxia
too little oxygen
Hypercapnia
increased concentrations of carbon dioxide
Regulated Variables
Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, pH
Hypoxic hypoxia
low arterial Po2, high altitude, alveolar hypoventilation, decreased lung diffusion capacity
Anemic hypoxia
decreased total amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin, blood loss, anemia, CO poisoning
Ischemic hypoxia
reduced blood flow, heart failure, shock, thrombosis
Histotoxic hypoxia
failure of cells to use O2, cell poisoning, cyanide
Movement of gases is directly proportional to:
pressure gradient of the gas, solubility of the gas in liquid, temperature
<2% of O2 in the blood is…
dissolved
Fick Equation
estimates oxygen consumption (Qo2 = CO x (Arterial[O2] - Venous [O2])
