Oxygenation Physiology Flashcards
V/Q mismatch definition
Ventilation / Cardiac output mismatch
Perfusion equation
DO2 = Q x CaO2 Perfusion equals cardiac output x content of arterial oxygen
Process of glycolysis
Glucose is converted into two pyruvate molecules
Total ATP production of Krebs cycle
38 ATP
Name the three stages of metabolism in order
Glycolysis, Citric acid cycle, Oxidative Phosphorylation
Name the three Ps of Hypocapnia
Pulse, Perfusion, pH
Formula for calculating MAP
(SBP + (2 x DBP)) / 3
Definition of PaO2
Partial pressure of arterial oxygen
Definition of PO2
Partial pressure of environmental oxygen
Definition of PAO2
Partial pressure of alveolar oxygen
Definition of SaO2
Saturation of arterial oxygen
Definition of SpO2
Saturation of bound hemoglobin
Definition of SvO2
Venous oxygen saturation (pulmonary artery catheter)
Definition of ScvO2
Central venous oxygen saturation (central line catheter = 5-8% higher than SvO2)
Definition of CaO2
Content of arterial oxygen
