Physiologic dead space formula
VD = VT × (Paco2 – Peco2)/ Paco2

Situations where there is a compliance change? (4-2)
⬇️in pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema;
⬆️in emphysema, normal aging.
When there is low affinity hemoglobin for O2 ?(7) turns to the right .
⬆️Cl− ⬆️H+ ⬆️CO2 ⬆️2,3-BPG ⬆️temperature ⬆️altitude ⬆️exercise
Oxygen content formula
O2 content = (O2 binding capacity × % saturation) + dissolved O2.
What is methemoglobin and its use?

TREAT CYANIDE POISONING
What is the O2 binding capacity?
O2 binding capacity ≈ 20.1 mL O2/dL.
What’s the O2 delivery to tissues formula?
O2 delivery to tissues = cardiac output × O2 content of blood.
