What is the formula to calculate Transpulmonary Pressures (PTP)? What other pressure does this formula work for?
- PTP= Aveolar Pressure (PA) - Pleural Pressure (PIP)
- Elastic Pressure (PEL)
What is the formula for Tidal Volume?
What is the formula in minute ventilation?
What are the normal values for each?
- VT= VDS + VA
- Minute Vent= VT x (RR)
- Resp. Rate= 12 bpm
- Tidal Volume= 500 mL; 6 L/min
- Dead Space Volume= 150 mL; 1.8 L/ min
- Aveolar Volume= 350 mL; 4.2 L/ min
What are the normal volumes for:
Tidal Volume
Residual Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
- TV= 500 mL
- RV= 1.5 L
- ERV= 1.5 L
- IRV= 2.5 L
Which volumes make up the following capacities and their normal values:
Total Lung Capacity
Inspiratory Capacity
Functional Residual Capacity
Working/ Vital Capacity
- TLC= 6 L
- IC= IRV+VT= 3.0 L
- FRC= ERV+RV= 3.0 L
- VC= IRV+VT+ERV= 4.5 L
PA>Pv>Pa
- West Perfusion Zone 1
- no blood flow
- In a healthy lung, there should not be a zone 1
Pa>PA>Pv
- West Perfusion Zone 2
- Pulsatile flow; “In between”
- Pulsatile blood flow during higer pressures times of the cardiac cycle and tapers off with a lower pulm blood pressure
- top portions of the lung
Pa>Pv>PA
- West Perfusion Zone 3
- Continuous flow; “always on”
- Normally in the bottom 1/2 of the lung
The effects of the weight of the lung on blood flow at the very base of the lung that sits on the diaphragm
- West Perfusion Zone 4
- A subset of Zone 3; reduces the amount of blood flow in the very bottom portion of the base
- the weight of the lungs compress the easily collapsable pulm vein and arteries
When does cyanosis occur as it pertains to deoxyhemoglobin?
When deoxyhemoglobin >5 g/ dL
What is the Fick Equation for C.O.?
CO= O2 absorbed per min (mL/ min)/ Arteriovenous O2 difference (ml/ L)
What is Guyton’s formula for calculating PVR?
What is normal?
PVR= MPAP-LAP/ C.O.
Normal= .14 PRU
What is Miller’s Formula for calculating PVR?
What is normal?
PVR= MPAP- PAWP/ C.O. (x 80 converts units to CGS)
Normal= 96 mmHg/L/min
What is a CGS?
What are its units?
What is the equivalent PRU?
- Centimeters Gram Second
- mmHg/ L/ min or dyne x sec/ cm^5
- 1 CGS= 1333 x PRU
What volumes make up the vital capacity?
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), Tidal Volume (TV), and Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
What volumes make up functional residual capacity (FRC)?
ERV, RV
Alveolar resistance gets higher ___ , gets lower ___
Lung volumes get higer; as lung volume gets lower
The higher the pulmonary blood flow, the lower the ______.
PVR
What are the two ways that our body reduces PVR when C.O. increases?
Recruitment and distension
What happens with right heart failure?
With decreased C.O., lungs decruit and vessels narrow, increasing PVR, increasing afterload for RH
What would increase PVR?
- Decreased/ Increased lung volume (above FRC)
- Decreased RH C.O.
- PPV
- Loss of alveoli
- Increased Interstitial pressure
What would decrease PVR?
- Increased C.O.
- Increased PAP
- Increased LAP
What are the pulmonary capillary pressures?
- Pc= 7 mmHg
- ∏p= 28 mmHg
- Pic= -8 mmHg
- ∏if= 14 mmHg
What is the formula for calculating net filtration and net flow?
- Net filtration= Pc-Pif-∏p+∏if
- Net flow= Kf x (Pc-Pif) - (∏p-∏if)
HPV is primarily an effect of what gas?
Primarily O2; secondarily CO2
