Unit 2, L4 Ventilation Flashcards
Equation for Ventilation
V = Frequency * volume so 15/min * 500 mL = 7.5 L/min
Boyle’s Law
Pressure-volume law. The volume of a given gas varies inversely with the applied pressure when temperature and mass are constant
Charles’ Law
Temperature volume law. The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature
Gay-Lussac’s Law
Pressure-temperature law. The pressure of a given amount of gas at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature
Combined gas law
The ratio between the pressure-volume product and the temperature remains constant.
(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
Avogadro’s law
Volume-amount law. If the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases
The ideal gas law
The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature
PV=nRT
Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
The total pressure of a mixture of non-reacting gases is the sum of their individual partial pressures
Amagat’s law of partial volumes
The volume of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the component volumes of each individual component
Henry’s law of Gas Solubility
The concentration of a solute gas in a solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the solution
Henry’s Law of gas solubility and gas in solution example
Concentration is equal to partial pressure of gas above solution and stays constant. Exact relationship, so if he tells us there is 100 mmHg of pO2 above the solution, we know there is exactly 0.13 mM of oxygen dissolved in the solution
PAO2 definition and value
Alveolar partial pressure of oxygen, 100 mmHg
PaO2 definition and value
Arterial partial pressure of oxygen, 95 mmHg
PvO2 definition and value
Venous partial pressure of oxygen, 40 mmHg
Composition of ambient air
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen
Gas fractions
Sum of individual gas fractions = 1
1 = FN2 + FO2 + etc
