dead space ventilation + alveolar ventilation = Tidal volume
dead space = convert patient's weight in kgs to ml
Question 2
Question
A 32 yr old male has been running on a treadmill for 15 min. What are the most likely changes in the values below compared to rest?
Answer
CO2 Production (VCO2) increases
Alveolar Ventilation increased
PACO2 doesn't change
all of the above are correct
Question 3
Question
The amount of CO2 produced per minute is <= to the amount of oxygen consumed
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
RQ (Respiratory Quotient) = ratio of METABOLIC production of CO2 to O2 consumption Whereas Respiratory gas exchange ration R = CO2 production/O2 consumed at the lung
Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
Which of the following statement is false
Answer
Hyperventilation means that alveolar ventilation exceeds CO2 production
Hypoventilation means that alveolar ventilation is less than CO2 production
During exercise hyperventilation is normal
all statements are true
Question 6
Question
When CO2 production doubles the alveolar ventilation doubles
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
The STPD volumes are about 20% smaller than BTPS. (because water vapor and increased temperature increase the volume of the gas)
Answer
True
False
Question 8
Question
Dalton's law of Partial pressures
Answer
The total pressure of a mixed gas is the sum of the individual partial pressures of each gas
in air FiO2 never changes but the barometric pressure does change based on the sea level
PB = PO2 + PCO2 + Pwv + PN2
PO2 at sea level = 160 mmHg
All of the above are true
Question 9
Question
Regarding PO2
Answer
In ambient air is 160 mmHg
In bronchioles it is 150 mmHg (because water vapor was added about 10 mmHg so that is subtracted
Alveoli it is 100 mmHg because O2 is diffusing into the blood
all of the above are true
Question 10
Question
Regarding Dead space all of the following are true except?
