Cards

Term

 

minute ventilation / frequency

v•e/f=

Definition

Tidal volume

Vt

Term

tidal volume x frequency (RR) =

Vt x f=

Definition

minute ventilation

V•E

Term

minute ventilation / tidal volume =

V•E / VT =

Definition

Frequency

f (RR)

Term

To calculate pysiologic dead space use Bohr's equation

 

CO2 of end tidal volume - CO2 of mixed expired sample/ CO2 of end tidal volume

 

 

fAco2 - fEco2/ fAco2

 

Definition

%Vd/Vt

this answer will be in like .35 & is 35%%

Term

physiologic dead space x tidal volume

 

%Vd/Vt x Vt=

Definition

volume of dead space/breath

 

Vd

Term

vol of dead space per breath x frequency=

 

Vd x f (RR)=

Definition

volume of dead space for one min

 

V•d

Term

tidal volume - volume of dead space per breath=

 

Vt - Vd =

Definition

alveolar volume in one breath

 

VA

Term

alveolar volume in one breath x frequency (RR)=

 

VA x f=

 

or

 

minute ventilation - dead space in 1 min=

V•E - V•d=

Definition

alveolar volume in 1 min

 

V•A

 

 

 

 

Term

check your answer

 

does V•A + V•d = V•E

Definition

Check your answer
