What is equation for lung compliance?
C = V/P
What are the 3 forces that control respiratory system?
- chest wall expansive force
- lung elastic collapsing force
- frictional resistance determines lung compliance
equation for pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)
PVR = (mPAP - mLAP) / CO
pulm artery P - left atria P
systolic and diastolic pulmonary artery pressure?
systolic: 25 mmHg
diastolic: 10 mmHg
Normal Patm
760 mmHg
Normal Ph2o?
47 mmHg
Normal FiO2 [fraction of inspired O2]
0.21
What is R?
respiratory quotient = 0.8
What is normal cardiac output?
6 L/min
What is normal V/Q?
0.8
What is normal PaCO2?
40 mmHg
What is normal A-a gradient?
< 10 mmHg
What is equation for minute ventilation rate [Ve]
Ve = Vt * RR Vt = tidal volume RR = respiratory rate
What are two equations for alveolar ventilation rate? [hint: one uses Vt and one uses Vco2]
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
What is equation for physiologic dead space?
Vd = Vt * (PaCO2 - PECO2)/PaCO2
PaCO2 = alveolar or arterial PCO2 PECO2 = expired PCO2
What is normal Vd/Vt ratio?
1/3
