Part VI Flashcards
A decreased V/P ratio results in what?
increase in physiologic shunt blood
What is physiologic shunt blood?
blood that doesn’t pick up oxygen when it goes through the lungs
An increased V/P ratio results in what?
increase in physiologic dead space
What is physiologic dead space?
area in the lungs where oxygenation is not taking place
What is VO2 max?
the max oxygen that can be absorbed from the lung and delivered to the tissue per minute
What is the best measure of cardiovascular fitness?
VO2 max
VO2 max is limited by what?
cardiac output, not pulmonary ventilation
During exercise, what improves as stroke volume increases?
VO2 max
Does heart rate stay constant as stroke volume increases?
yes
What are the VO2 maxes for cardiac patients, sedentary person, endurance athlete?
- 5 L/min
- 0 L/min
- 0 L/min
