Oxygen - 18/11/16 Flashcards
amount of O2 in blood per mmHg
0.3ml
1g of Hb binds to how much O2
1.39ml
SaO2
O2 saturation of arterial blood
SpO2
O2 saturation as detected by pulse oximeter
oxygen saturation definition
amount of oxyhemoglobin
usually 96 - 98%
PaO2
oxygen dissolved in arterial blood plasma
FiO2
fraction of oxygen given to patient / inhaled normally oxygen
type I respiratory failure
low O2 and normal CO2
type II respiratory failure
low O2 and high CO2
diseases associated with decreased V/Q ratio
asthma chronic bronchitis pulmonary oedema airway obstruction (air problems)
diseases associated with increased V/Q ratio
pulmonary embolism
emphysema
pulmonary hypertension
(blood problems)
dissociation of O2 equation
CO (cardiac output) x (1.3 x Hb x SaO2) + (0.003 + PaO2)
nasal cannula
low flow
uncontrolled FiO2
dependent on nasal breathing
