Pulmonary Physiology Topics - Dr. Rogers Flashcards
inspiration P and V
V increases when P decreases by 1mmGH (when chest cavity opens)
Interpleural P
less then atmospheric P, (from -5 to -8)
-8 during end of inspiration
Alveolar P
= atmospheric pressure (0) at rest
during inspiration when chest cavity opens = decreases to -1
CAUSES AIR TO COME IN
Transpulmonary P
Palv - Ppl
at rest Ptp = 0 - (-5) = 5
alveolar P at the end of inspiration (most air inside)
alveolar P at the beginning of inspiration
0 for both
alveolar P in the middle of inspiration
alveolar P in the middle of expiration
-1
+1
Ppl at the end of inspiration
Ppl at the beginning of inspiration
- 8
- 5
Ppl at the middle of inspiration
Ppl in the middle of expiration
-6.8 for both
air flow rate is the same as
air flow rate at the middle of expiration
air flow middle of inspiration
Alveolar P
+1
-1
air flow rate at the beginning of inspiration
air flow rate at the end of inspiration
0
Lung compliance and chest wall graph is what
the average of both lung compliance wanting to collapse and the chest wall wanting to spring outward
X : P getting more negative
Y : V getting more positive
FRC Lung compliance and chest wall graph
equilibrium V between lung and chest wall
= when chest wall is at 35% capacity and lung capacity is at 45%
Minute Ventilation
how much air someone is getting every min *NORMAL = 7000ml/min = 7L/min* = Tidal Volume x f f is RR 500ml/br x 14br/min = 7L/min
EMPHYSEMA RV TLC FVC FEV1 FEV1/FVC peak expiratory flow rate
*obstructive increased increased decreased decreased decreased decreased
FIBROSIS RV TLC FVC FEV1 FEV1/FVC peak expiratory flow rate
Restricted decreased decreased decreased some same same decreased
dead space in emphysema
dead space is fibrosis
