Respiratory II Flashcards
of breaths per minute
respiratory rate (ventilation rate)
respiratory rate X tidal volume
munite ventilation L/min (LPM)
respiratory rate is inversely related to _____ ____, but directly related to PCO2 and H+
arterial PO2
primary driver of ventilation
blood PaCO2 & H+ concentration–strength and rate of inhalation
CO2 easily crosses _____, reacts with H2O to form new H+ and lower _____
BBB–
pH
secondary driver of ventilation
PaO2 concentration
low O2 in blood (PaO2)
hypoxemia – low minute ventilation
hypoxemia due to
hypoventilation
volume in airways/lungs that doesn’t participate in gas exchange
dead space (anatomic: nose pharynx, trachea/airway) (physiologic: anatomic + nonfunctional alveoli)
hypoxemia w/ exercise likely due to
diffusion problem
intraoperative or life support blows O2 and N into lungs (inspiratory only needed)
mechanical ventilation
blood flow next to alveoli facilitating gas exchange
perfusion
perfusion driven by
ANS and local factors
_____ ventilation and perfusion at the _____ of lungs, due to ________
better–
base–
gravity (blood pools lower–less alveoli at top of lungs)
____ alveoli ___ compliant
apex–
less
V/Q =
ventilation/ perfusion
______ and ______ better at bottom of lung
ventilation and perfusion
____ V/Q is normal
.8
inadequate ventilation =
V/Q<0.8
ventilation is good (lots of O2 in the alveoli, but blood flow (perfusion) is low
V/Q > 0.8
ventilating dead space–
redirection of blood flow to bypass alveoli
normal L –> R common
