Ventilation and Gas ExchangeVentilation and Gas Exchange
• Objective: to achieve adequate tissue oxygenation j q ygand remove metabolically produced CO2.
• Ventilation: concerned with delivery of fresh volume f h d h l fof air to gas exchanging units, and the removal of a
sufficient volume of mixed gas out• Gas Exchange: the ability to move gas across the• Gas Exchange: the ability to move gas across the alveolar‐capillary membrane

Ventilation = BreathingVentilation Breathing
• Ventilation is the process of moving gasesVentilation is the process of moving gases between the atmosphere and the alveoli

Normal breathingNormal breathing
• Respiratory rate = the number of breaths per minute– About 12 to 15 per minute– Abbreviated RR
• Tidal volume = volume of gas inspired in a single breath– About 0.5 liters– Abbreviated VT
• Minute ventilation = volume of gas inspired per minute = RR x VT– About 6 liters per minute– Abbreviate VE

What happens if…1. Dead space increases (minute ventilation held constant)2. Minute ventilation increases (VD is constant)3. CO2 production increases

PaCO2 is used to determine alveolar lventilation
• Normal PaCO2 = 37 to 42 mm HgNormal PaCO2 = 37 to 42 mm Hg
• PaCO2 > 42 mm Hg = alveolar hypoventilation
CO2 3 G l l h il i• PaCO2 < 37 mm HG = alveolar hyperventilation
![Page 18: Abnormal Ventilation, Abnormal · PDF fileVentilation and Gas Exchange • The failure of either or both results in impaired arterial blood gases and ultimately respiratory](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051009/5a788cce7f8b9a8c428d1b6e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HypoventilationHypoventilation
• Hypoventilation– Decreased minute ventilation (decreased RR and/or VT)
• Alveolar Hypoventilation– Inability to inspire and expire a volume of air/gas sufficient to meetInability to inspire and expire a volume of air/gas sufficient to meet
metabolic demands– Inabilty to bring a fresh volume of O2 with each breath to the gas
exchanging unit, and inability to remove CO2produced by metabolism2
– Alveolar hypoventilation can only result from one or both of the following:
• HypoventilationI d d d f i (d d / id l l i )• Increased dead space fraction (dead space/tidal volume ratio)
• Increased PAO2 (hypercapnia) indicates the presence of alveolar hypoventilation

Hypoxemia ≠ Hypoxiayp yp
• Hypoxia is metabolic O2 deficiencyyp 2 y• Hypoxia causes are:
– “stagnant”, as with impaired blood flow; – “histocytoxic”,as with metabolic impairment using O2, such as cyanide poisoning;
– “hypoxic” as with impaired oxygenation such as low V/Qhypoxic , as with impaired oxygenation such as low V/Q, or low PIO2 such as high altitude;
– “anemic”, as with low Hgb or carbon monoxide poisoning

“Diffusion Capacity” vs DiffusionDiffusion Capacity vs Diffusion
• Decreased diffusing capacity can result from numerous b l l d d ff bl k lfabnormalities unrelated to diffusion block itself
• Diffusion abnormality as a cause of hypoxemia– Diffusion block or other inability to transfer gas completely (eg, low
PIO2 i d i l t ti ) th t i ffi i t t f fPIO2+ increased circulatory time) so that insufficient transfer of alveolar PO2 occur
• Decreased diffusing capacity without diffusion blocklow alveolar volume– low alveolar volume,
– low Hgb

• V/Q =0/Q– NOT low V/Q
• Supplemental O2 will not raise PaO2 with large shunt– Can be diagnostic at the bedside!
• Clinical examplesARDS– ARDS
– Severe pneumonia– Cardiogenic pulmonary edemaCardiogenic pulmonary edema
• May also be cardiogenic R‐L shunt– ASD, VSD, PDA

• Hypoventilation: High PaCO2, Low PaO2, no widening yp g 2, 2, gof AaDO2
• Gas exchange abnormality: Low PaO2, normal or low d dPaCO2, widened AaDO2
• Hypoxemia of all hypoventilation and gas exchange abnormalities may be sufficiently overcome byabnormalities may be sufficiently overcome by supplemental O2 unless gas exchange abnormality is absolute (eg shunt)
