Respiratory Physiology II Flashcards
increased VR
with inspiration - to right heart
decreased VR
with inspiration - to left heart
pulmonary vessel expansion
inspiration
systemic arterial pressure decrease
-heart rate increases
expiration
increased BP and decreased HR
alveolar gas equation**
PAO2 = (Patm - PH2O) FIO2 - PACO2/R
FIO2 - fraction of inspired oxygen - should be 0.21
R - normally 0.8
normally around 100mmHg
PACO2
typically 40mmHg
venous O2 and CO2
PVO2 - 40mmHg
PVCO2 - 47mmHg
air PO2
150
drops to 100 in alveoli
drops to 40 in tissues
CO2
diffuses faster than O2
-greater solubility
diffusion of gas
Vgas ~ A/T x D x deltaP
perfusion limited gases
N2O
O2
measure uptake of CO
diffusion capacity of lung
diffusion limited
O2 - in fibrosis, emphysema
CO**
O2 content of blood
(1.39 x Hb x Sat/100) + 0.0003PO2 dissolved
** know this equation
normal Hg
15 g/dL
2,3 DPG
increased in response to hypoxemia
promoted offloading of O2 from Hg
increased T increased pCO2 increased 2,3, DPG increased H+ decreased pH
shift of Hb-O2 curve to left
decreased T
decreased pCO2
decreased 2,3 BPG
decreased H
increased affinity
deoxygenated Hb
carries more CO2 than oygenated blood
CO2 transport
majority - bicarb
dissolved
complexed to proteins
