Term
[image]
Definition

Phase a - ventricular filling, diastole, Phase b - isovolumetric contraction 

Phase c - ejection, Phase d- isovolumetric relaxation

Point 1 - ventricular EDP and EDV

Point 2 - aortic valve opens, when LVP exceeds aortic diastolic pressure 

Point 3 - aortic valve closes, LV volume at this time is the ESV

Point 4 - mitral valve opens, when LVP falls below left atrial pressure 

Width of the loop - the difference between EDV and ESV = stroke volume (SV)

Area within the loop - ventricular stroke work

Term
Poiseuille's Law
Definition

R = (8 X η X L)/(π X r4)

 

resistance to flow

η = viscosity

L = length

Term
Reynold's number
Definition

Re = 2 V r ρ/η

 

V = velocity

p = density of the air

r = radius of airway

 

When Re < 2,000, laminar flow is present

When Re >4,000, turbulent flow is present

Term

Definition
drug clearance
Term
Rate of drug elimination

a constant amount of drug is eliminated per unit time

phenytoin, salicylates, theophylline, and thiopentone (at very large doses)



Definition

Term

First Order Kinetics

A constant fraction of the drug in the body is eliminated per unit time. The rate of elimination is proportional to the amount of drug in the body; majority of drugs

 

 

Definition

Term

 

Steady State

Definition
rate of elimination = rate of administration
Term
Hooke's Law

Measuring lung compliance
Definition
Measured under conditions of zero airflow by measuring intrapleural preassure with an esophageal balloon at the end of inspiration of a preset volume; repeated at diff volumes to create a volume vs pressure curve; slope of curve is compliance(flatter curve, the stiffer and less compliant the lung)
