Q

What are two equations for alveolar ventilation rate? [hint: one uses Vt and one uses Vco2]

A 
V[A] = (Vt - Vd) * RR
Vt = tidal volume
Vd = dead space

V[A] = Vco2 * K / PACO2
Vco2 = rate of CO2 production
PACO2 = alveolar PCO2
K = 863 mmHg for BTPS conditions

Q

What is equation for physiologic dead space?

A

Vd = Vt * (PaCO2 - PECO2)/PaCO2

PaCO2 = alveolar or arterial PCO2
PECO2 = expired PCO2

Q

What is normal RR?

20
Q

What is the alveolar gas equation?

A

PAO2 = FiO2(Patm - Ph2o) - PaCO2/R

21
Q

What is AA gradient?

A

PAO2 - PaO2

22
Q

Is V/Q ratio higher at bottom or top of lung?

A

higher at top of lung [less blood flow]

23
Q

In dead space what are PAO2 and PACO2?

A 
PAO2 = 150 
PACO2 = 0
24
Q

Normal body temp?

25
Q

Fraction of O2, N2, and CO2 in atm at dry air 760 mmHg?

A 
O2 = 21%
N2 = 79%
CO2 = 0%
26
Q

What is solubility of O2 in blood?

A

0.003 mL O2/100 mL blood / mmHg

27
Q

Daltons law for partial pressure of gas?

A

Px = (Pb - PH2O) * fraction of gas that is x

28
Q

What is henry’s law for concentration of dissolved gas in solution?

A 
Cx = Px * solubility
Px = partial pressure of gas
29
Q

Between O2, CO2, and CO which are diffusion and perfusion limited?

A

O2 and CO2 perfusion limited

CO diffusion limited

30
Q

What is equation for O2 content of blood

A

O2 content = (1.34 * Hb conc * % saturation) + (0.003*PaO2)

31
Q

What is equation for rate of diffusion?

A

DA delta P / delta X

diffusion coefficient * surface area * driving pressure difference / thickness of barrier

32
Q

What is equation for O2 delivery?

A

O2 delivery = CO * O2 content of blood

33
Q

What is the O2 binding capacity of Hb?

34
Q

What is the normal P50 of Hb?

35
Q
