Mechanics of Ventilation
  1. VENTILATION
    1. Caused by pressure-Volume relationship
      1. Boyle's Law
        1. P~1/V
          1. Pressure of gas in inversely proportional to volume causing inspiration
            1. Decreased in lung volume raises intrapulmonary pressure causing expiration
            2. Air moved from higher pressure to low pressure
            3. INTRAPULMONARY & INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE
              1. At Rest
                1. Atmospheric pressure
                  1. 760 mmHg
                  2. Alveolar Pressure
                    1. 760mmHg
                  3. Inspiration
                    1. Atmospheric Pressure
                      1. 760
                      2. Alveolar Pressure
                        1. 757
                        2. Atmospheric pressure is greater than alveolar pressure therefore air will go IN
                        3. Expiration
                          1. Atmospheric pressure
                            1. 760
                            2. Alveolar Pressure
                              1. 763
                              2. Atmospheric pressure is less than alveolar pressure therefore air will go OUT
                            3. ALVEOLAR PRESSURE DROPS
                              1. Diaphragm contracts
                                1. Which Increases VOLUME
                                  1. Decreases Pressure
                                    1. Air comes
                              2. PNEUMOTHORAX
                                1. Collapsed Lung
                                  1. Airs enters into the intrapleural space through comm. from chest wall
                                    1. Occurs because alveolar pressure is normally greater than the pleural cavity pressure
                                      1. As air escapes from the lung, it recoils and will begin to collapse
                                        1. Because air comes inside pressure increases
                                  2. PROPERTIES OF LUNGS
                                    1. Ventilation of the lung requires:

                                            1. Reduced by factors that cause resistance to distension

                                                1. Elastic recoil after inspiration
                                                  1. Tension increases during inspiration & is reduced recoil during expiration
                                              2. Surface Tension
