3 determinants of O2 supply
- arterial O2 saturation- % hgb, 97% O2 bound to Hgb
- O2 transport in blood- Hgb level and affinity
- Cardiac output- SV x HR
what is a key determinant of O2 saturation?
Alveolar gas exchange- cross A-C membrane
oxygenation is influenced by what 3 things
- Ventilation- ability
- V/Q matching- concentration of O2
- Diffusion- effectiveness
PaCO2 is determined primarily by?
Ventilation
minute ventilation?
RR x Vt
hyperventilation does what to CO2
decreases. more is blown off
how do you measure PaO2
arterial blood sample
what is V/Q matching
relationship between air reaching alveoli (vent) and blood reaching alveoli (perfusion- Q)
what 4 things determine diffusion
- driving pressure - difference in concentration gradient
- diffusion coefficient - how fast it can dissolve/diffuse
- anatomical surface area -pulm edema, fibrosis
- thickness of A-C mem - inflam process
what influences driving pressure?
Difference of concentration of gases.
the greater the difference the greater the driving pressure
what is diffusion coefficient
how readily a gas will diffuse across
CO2 is 20 x faster than O2
what influences anatomical surface area?
lobectomy, plural effusion
arterial O2 sat 2 main components
- vent
2. gas exchange
arterial O2 sat is influenced by? 3
- movement of air in and out
- concentration of inspired O2
- gas exchange at the A-C membrane
which process of ventilation is active? passive?
active - inhalation
passive - exhale
pressures when you inhale
increases the intrapulmonary pressure
decreases pulmonary pressure
- relative to atmospheric pressure
WOB functional residual capacity FRC
- volume of air left in lungs after passive expiration
- needed for gas exchange
WOB vital capacity
- vol of air breathed out after the deepest inhale
WOB tidal volume
- amount of air moved into and out of the lungs during normal breathing aprox 500cc
shallow resps = decreased Vt
WOB is influenced by? 3
- resp muscle function
- lung compliance
- airway resistance
WOB is
overcoming elastic and resistance properties of lungs
lung compliance. 3
- measure of distension ability. stretch and force required
- chest wall elasticity
- airway resistance
- alveolar compliance
fibrosis
if a PT has poor lung compliance…
they will have rapid and shallow breaths
airway resistance
resistance of resp tract to airflow during inspire and expire. Diameter
wheezing, asthma
