Respiration And Respiratory Monitoring Flashcards
Euthermic 70 kg pt, metabolic jumping off point
242 ml/min
Metabolic jumping off point equation
Vo2= W^0.75 * 10 (ml/min)
Respiratory quotient
R=Vco2/Vo2
Resp quotient for metabolically euthermic patient
0.8
CO2 production equation
Vco2=Vo2*R
Vco2 for metabolically normal 70kg pt
Vco2=242 ml/min * 0.8
= 194 ml/min
Co2 produced where in cell?
Mitochondria
Minute ventilation
Total vol of gases moving into and out of the lungs each minute
Minute ventilation for pt w equal tidal volumes (equation)
Ve=Vt*f
Pt w breaths of diff vol, min vent equation
Ve=summation of Vt in one minute
Co2 leaves gas exchange region by
Diffusion
Co2 transported thru conducting airway by
Convection to the mouth and nose
Pressure H2O
47 mmHg at 37C
Pbar at sea level
760 mmHg
Pbar atl
737 mmHg
Boyles law
P1V1=P2V2
Dalton’s law
P1+P2+…+Pn=Ptotal
Fractional concentration
Fx=Px/Ptotal or f1+f2+…fn=1.00
Alveolar ventilation (Va)
Total vol of gases flowing into and out of gas exchange region each minute
Partial pressure of co2 in alveoli
Paco2=40mmhg (ideal alveolar value for a normal eucapnic pt)
