16
Q

what is the anatomic dead space

A

the air that doesn’t get refreshed or used, breathed in but not available for gas exchange and moves out

17
Q

minute total ventilation formula

A

tidal volume x resp. frequency

18
Q

what is alveolar ventilation

A

amount of air moved into the alveoli per minute

it depends on the anatomical dead space!

19
Q

is alveolar ventical or minute ventilation biiger

A

minute ventilation

20
Q

is anatomical dead space constant

A

yes, constant regardless of breath size

21
Q

alveolar ventilation volume

A

(tidal volume-anatomical dead space)x frequency

22
Q

is increasing rate or depth better for increasing alveolar ventilation

A

increase depth

23
Q

what is FEV1

A

forced expiratory volume in one second

24
Q

what is FVC

A

forced vital capacity

total amount of air blown out in one breath after max inspiration as fast as possible

25
Q

what does FVC equal

A

vital capacity

TV + IRV + ERV

26
Q

what is FEV1/FVC

A

proportion of the amount of air that is blown out in 1 second

27
Q

where is the difficulty in the obstructive pattern of breathing

A

difficulty in exhaling all of the air from the lungs, slower exhale, lots of air may remain in the lungs

28
Q

what kind of diseases have obstructive pattern

A

CF, asthma

29
Q

is FEV1 or FVC reduced in obstructive patterns

A

FEV1 significantly, FVC normal or reduced

30
Q

what happens to FEV1/FCV in obstructive patter

A

reduced, <0.7

31
Q

where is the difficulty in the restrictive pattern of breathing

A

they cannot fully fill their lungs with air

32
Q

why does restrictive pattern happened

A

stuff lungs

33
Q

what kind of diseases show restrictive pattern

A

lung fibrosis, scarring of lung tissue, muscular dystrophy

34
Q

is FEV1 or FVC reduced in restrictive patterns

A

both

reduced vital capacity

35
Q

what happens to FEV1/FCV in restrictive patter

A

almost normal!

they can breathe out fine, just not much air to begin with

36
Q

what do they measure using helium

A

functional residual capacity (rv+ erv) bu measuring dilution concentrations
v2=v1(c1-c2)/c2
