Q

Dynamic vs static compliance

A

Static compliance is measured during periods of no air flow; dynamic compliance measures changes in volume as pressure changes where air is moving in and out

Q

Shifting CO2 curve to the right vs

Decreasing the slope

What do opioids vs inhalationals do to the curve?

A

shifting right = higher co2 level is required to get the same ventilatory response

decreasing slope = you get less of a ventilatory response at a particular CO2 level

opioid - shift right
inhalational- shift right + decreased slope
