SR Print(0) ID 1120131002 T1 Ventilation/Perfusion Matching and Estimating Alveolar Ventilation T2 Respiratory: An Integrated Approach to Disease YR 2012 FD 2012 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071635011 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1120131002 RD 2024/03/29 AB Learning ObjectivesThe student will be able to explain why the ratio of alveolar ventilation to lung vascular perfusion increases apically in lungs of an upright subject.The student will be able to distinguish between the anatomical and physiological concepts of dead space and shunt.The student will be able to explain the circumstances that elicit the acute hypoxic pressor response and its effect on pulmonary arterial pressure.The student will be able to apply multiple inert gas data to distinguish normal subjects versus diseased patients with increased shunt or dead space.The student will be able to use relevant equations to estimate alveolar versus dead space ventilations, and calculate alveolar Po2 from patient data.
