Pulm Flashcards
normal FEV1
> 80%
normal FVC
> 80%
normal FEV1/FVC
> 70-75
obstructive disease levels
hi volume hi residual volume low vital capacity low FEV1 low FEV1/FVC
restrictive disease levels
low volume low residual vol low VC low FEV1 normal or hi FEV1/FVC
most accurate way to measure TLC
plethysmography
normal PO2
75-100
normal PCO2
38-42
normal HCO3
22-28
normal pH
7.38-7.42
upper limit compensation (pH)
0.25 x (PCO2actual - PCO2norm)
lower limit compensation (pH)
0.75 x (PCO2actual - PCO2norm)
diff alkalosis
resp: pH up cuz CO2 down (27)(hypovent)
diff acidosis
resp: pH down cuz CO2 up (>50)
met: pH down cuz HCO3 down (
mixed acidosis
pH down cuz PCO2 up and HCO3 down
