Lecture 25: Pulmonary Ventilation Flashcards
How do you calculate minute ventilation (VE)?
Tidal Volume * RR
What is the functional measure of alveolar ventilation?
____ ___ is the volume of gas that does not participate in gas exchange
Dead Space
How do you calculate physiological dead space?
Anatomic Dead Space + Alveolar Dead Space
Where does Dead Space Ventilation occur?
Conduction Zone
Where does Alveolar Ventilation occur?
Respiratory Zone
How do you calculate alveolar ventilation (VA)?
1) VE = VA + VD
2) VA = VE - VD
Alveolar Dead Space vs. Anatomic Dead Space?
Alveolar: Air in non-perfused alveoli
Anatomic: Ait in nose, pharynx, larynx, conducting airways
How are resistance and velocity related to turbulent flow?
Resistance: Increased
Velocity: Increased
How are resistance and velocity related to laminar flow?
Resistance: Decreased
Velocity: Decreased
What type of flow would you associate with wheezing?
Turbulent
What type of flow occurs in small airways?
Laminar
Total amount of gas in lungs after max inspiration
Total Lung Capacity
Max. gas that can be inspired started at functional residual capacity
Inspiratory Capacity
Max gas that can be expired after max inspiration
Vital Capacity
Amount of gas in lungs at end of normal expiration (passive exhalation)
Functional Residual Capacity
Typical value of tidal volume?
500 mL
Max volume of gas the can be inspired starting from end of normal inspiration
IRV
(Inspiratory Reserve Capacity)
Max volume of gas that can be expired starting from end of normal expiration?
ERV
Typical values of ERV, IRV?
ERV: 1,100 mL
IRV: 3000 mL
Volume of gas in lungs that remains after max. expiration?
Residual Volume
