Q

changing the GF:BF ratio for a bubble oxygenator

A
  • increase total number of bubbles/ml of blood
  • which increases total surface area of the bubbles resulting in increased oxygen transfer
  • which increases total volume of bubble resulting in increase carbon dioxide transfer

Q

Membrane oxygenators

A
  • changing pressure gradient only effective for oxygen (increase gradient increases O2 transfer)
  • Changing GF:BF changes amount of CO2 being carried (swept) away (increase ratio increases CO2 transfer)

your blood flow by 1 L/min and you increase your gas
flow by 500 mls/min. Which of the following best describes the change to the gas-to-blood flow diagram?

A

GF to BF ratio will decrease

27
Q

as the Gas-to-Blood Flow Ratio is decreased in a membrane oxygenator

A

Carbon dioxide transfer decreases
