What is the normal value for CaO2 and the equation for it
20 vol%
(1.34xHbxSaO2) + (PaO2x0.003)
what is the normal value for CvO2 and the equation for it
15vol%
(1.34xHbxSvO2)+(PvO2x0.003)
what is PAO2 normal value and the equation for it
100mmHg
[(Pb-H2O)xFiO2]-(PaCO2x1.25) PaO2 cannot be higher than PAO2
what is the equation for Qs/Qt
CcO2-CaO2/CcO2-CvO2
how do you find BH%
44mmHg - content/ saturated capacity x 100
where is the SA node and how many BPM
the SA node is located in the upper right atrium and produces 60-100 BPM
where is the AV node and how many BPM
the AV node is located in the lower portion of the right atrium and produces 40-60 BPM
what takes over when the SA and AV node fails and how many BPM
the pacemaker cells, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers take over and produce 20-40 BPM
what is Hypercapnia
High CO2 levels in the blood resulting in increased depth of breathing w/ or w/o increased frequency
what is tachycardia
rapid HR >100 BPM
what is diffusion
process of gas molecules passively moving from an area of high concentrations to low concentrations
what is a true shunt
cardiac output that enters the left side of the heart w/o exchanging gases w/ alveolar gases. perfusion w/o ventilation (causes severe hypoxemia and cannot be helped with/ oxygen therapy)
what is deadspace
the volume of inspired air that does not reach the alveoli in the conducting zones. * ventilation w/o perfusion* (causes hypercapnia and can be helped with oxygen therapy)
what are the normal PaO2 values
80-100 mmHg
what are the normal values for PvO2
35-45 mmHg
Know the different ranges for hypoxemia
PaO2: 60-79 mild hypoxemia
PaO2: 40-59 moderate hypoxemia
PaO2: <40 severe hypoxemia
know the different ranges for hypoxemia with oxygen therapy
PaO2: <60 uncorrected hypoxemia
PaO2: 60-100 corrected hypoxemia
PaO2: >100 is overcorrected hypoxemia
what is anatomic deadspace
the volume of gas that only makes it to the conducting airways (nose to terminal bronchioles) no gas exchange occurs (1ml/lb of BW)
what is physiologic deadspace
sum of anatomic deadspace and alveolar deadspace
what is alveolar deadspace
oxygen that makes it to the alveoli but does not participate in gas exchange
given PFT values to be able to determine diagnosis of normal obstructive or restrictive
FEV1/FVC=FVC1% OVER 70% may be restrictive or normal under 70% will be obstructive
less than 80% FVC is abnormal <80% is restrictive >80% normal
what are the characteristics of the pore of kohn
small holes in intra-alveolar septa, permit gas movement between adjacent alveoli.
Formed by movement of macrophages, death of epithelial cells due to disease, and normal degeneration of cells due to aging.
Zone 1
least gravity dependent, up by the apex. Alveolar pressure is greater than arterial and venous pressure.
Zone 2
Middle part of the lobe, arterial pressure is greater than alveolar pressure but alveolar pressure is greater than venous pressure
