What does exercise do to oxygen consumption?
increases oxygen consumption
What is fick’s principle?
Qt = V.O2 / (CaO2 - Cvo2)
What is equation for V.O2 [rearrangement of fick’s principle]?
V.O2 = Qt ( CaO2 - CvO2) V.O2 = ox consumption
What three things can you do to increase VO2 [ox consumption]?
- increase cardiac output [Qt]
- increase CaO2
- decrease CvO2
What is equation for oxygen content [CaO2]?
CaO2 = 1.34 Hb SaO2 + 0.003 PaO2
What two things could you do to increase oxygen content [CaO2]?
- increase hemoglobin [long term change]
- increase arterial oxygen content
means increasing saturation [but already close to 100%]
What is equation for minute ventilation [Ve]?
Ve = Vt * frequency
What is resting Ve?
6 L / min
What 2 things could you do to raise Ve [minute ventilation]? Are these rapid or long term changes?
- raise Vt to VC [vital capacity] = can get 8x increase
- raise frequency
both rapid changes that occur in exercise
What happens in exercise?
- raise CO
- raise Vt to vital capacity [VC]
- raise frequency of breaths
- improve V/Q maching –> lungs become more ideal
increased muscle oxygen extraction - same or slight increase PaO2
- increased ox saturation
What happens to V/Q matching in exercise?
improves –> lungs become more ideal
- increase CO so get more Q
- get more /bigger breaths in so increase V
What happens to PaO2 in exercise?
goes up a bit if anything
What happens to oxygen saturation with exercise?
increases if anything
Why do you get increased CO2 in exercise?
you start having anaerobic metabolism and producing lactate and get decreased pH. You get rid of lactate by turning it into CO2
What happens to blood supply to muscles in exercise? how much of CO goes to muscle at rest vs max exercise
- during exercise, blood shunted away from other organs
- at rest muscles get 20% of CO, at max exercise get 80%
What are 3 mech by which muscle get more blood supply in exercise
- increased CO
- increase in vascular resistance to skin, viscera, other inactive tissues
- decease in vascular resistance to working muscles
How do PaO2/PaCO2/pH change in exercise?
- same or slightly higher PaO2
- same PaCO2
- low pH from lactate production
What is the anaerobic threshold?
threshold at which run out of ox at tissue level and start making lactate. function of how good your heart is at pushing blood around not how good your lungs are
- on ox uptake vs ventilation graph its the point at which the slope stops being linear because you have such extra CO2 from lactate that you need to breath harder to get rid of it
If you breath 100% O2 how does ox uptake vs ventilation graph change?
- becomes totally linear because you have more O2 coming in so you don’t have the lactate build up
What is equation for CO? How can you increase it?
Qt [CO] = SV * Hr decrease parasympathetic flow to SA increase sympathetic to SA increase circulating catecholamines increase SV via increased venous return or increased contractility
What is limiting factor for max exercise in normal man?
ccardiac output
What happens to O2 consumption in exercise?
increases
