L5:physiological consequences of lung disease extra Flashcards
minute volume =
tidal volume x respiratory rate
alveolar ventilation=
(tidal volume-dead space) x respiratory rate
ventilatory demand=
the spontaneous minute ventilation required to maintain a normal PaCO2
rate of gas transfer proportional to
tissue area
difference in partial gas pressure
rate of gas transfer inversely proportional to
tissue thickness
which gas diffuses 20x faster
CO2
maximum diffusion is at
lung bases when upright
reduced ventilation/ normal perfusion –>
shunt of deoxygenated blood to systemic circulation
FVC=
forced vital capacity
FEV1=
forced expiratory volume in 1 sec
CT pulomary angiogram looks at
perfusion
oxygen saturation at normal PaO2
95
CO2 levels detected by
central chemoreceptors
type 1 respiratory failure
low O2
low/normal PaCO2
type 2 respiratory failure
low O2
high PaCO2
