Intro To Cardiovascular And Pulmonary PT Flashcards
Oxygen Consumption
VO2
Oxygen Delivery
DO2
Arterial O2 x CO
DO2
(ArterialO2-venousO2)xCO
VO2
Oxygen extraction ration
Consumption / delivery
VO2/DO2
OER
Is DO2 is based on the demands of the tissues…
At rest, DO2 is _____ greater than the actual demand
3-4x
_____O2 is transported in combination with hemoglobin
98%
O2 binds to ______ on the hemoglobin molecule
Heme
An imbalance between intra and extra vascular fluid can impact _____ which in turn impacts the function of _____
Electrolytes
Organs
Steps in O2 transport
- Air quality
- Airways
- Lungs and chest wall
- Diffusion
- Perfusion
- Myocardial function
- Peripheral Circulation
- Tissue Extraction & Utilization of Oxygen
- Return of partially saturated blood & CO2 to lungs
Composition of air
79% Nitrogen
21% O2
.03% CO2
What happens to alveoli in dry environments
Loss of mucus covering, erosion, and infection
Mechanics of chest wall during inspiration
External intercostals - elevate ribs
Diaphargm - depress inferior wall of the thoracic cavity
Though expiration is a passive process, if muscles are used, what are they and their mechanisms?
Internal intercostals - compress and lower ribs
Abdominals - compress the abdominal cavity which elevates the abdominal organs and passively elevates the diaphragm
