|
Residual volume
|
air in lung after maximal expiration, cannot be measured on spirometry
|
|
|
Expiratory reserve
|
air that can still be breathed out after normal expiration
|
|
|
Tidal volume
|
air that moves into lung with each quiet inspiration, typically 500 mL
|
|
|
Inspiratory reserve volume
|
air in excess of tidal volume that moves into lung on maximum inspiration
|
|
|
Vital capacity
|
TV + IRV + ERV
|
|
|
Functional residual capacity
|
RV + ERV (volume in lungs after normal expiation)
|
|
|
Inspiratory capacity:
|
IRV + TV
|
|
|
Total lung capacity
|
IRV + TV + ERV + TV
|
|
|
Physiologic dead space equation
|
= VT x (PaCO2 - PeCO2) / PaCO2
|
|
|
Physiologic dead space
|
Anatomical dead space of conducting airways plus functional dead space in alveoli; apex of healthy lung is largest contributor of functional dead space.
Volume of inspired air that does not take part in gas exchange. |
|
|
Substances that cause methemoglobinemia
|
chloroquine, primaquine
dapsone sulfonamides LA metoclopramide nitrates |
|
|
Differential diagnosis for eosinophilia
|
Drugs
Neoplasms Allergy, asthma (Churg strauss) Addison's (adrenal insufficiency) AIN: Acute interstital nephritis Collagen vascular disease Parasites (Loeffler's eosinophilic pneumonitis due to Ascariasis lumbricoides) |
|
|
Pulmonary vascular resistance equation
|
= P(pulm A) = P(L atrium) / CO
|
|
|
Alveolar gas equation (PA02)
|
= 150 - PACO2/0.8
|
|
|
V/Q mismatch at apex of lung
|
3 (wasted ventilation due to dead space)
|
|
|
V/Q mismatch at base of lung
|
0.6 (wasted perfusion)
|
|
|
V/Q mismatch in airway obstruction
|
0 (due to shunt)
|
|
|
V/Q mismatch in blood flow obstruction
|
infinity (physiologic dead space)
|
