Learning Respiratory Physiology

Learning Respiratory Physiology

4 THINGS TO KNOW
* Ventilation
* Lung Volumes & Capacities
* Blood Gases
* Lung Gas Pressures & Flows

Functional anatomy
Alveolar ventilation
Increased Alveolar Dead Space
Pulmonary Embolism Model
Occurs in All Lung Diseases
Negative intrapleural pressure
Chest & lung trauma
Incorrect spirometry
Correct spirometry
Lung volumes & capacities
Direct spirometry
FEV1/FVC
Normal posture change
Respiratory diseases
Airflow limitation
Dynamic Compression
LARGE AIRWAYS
Thick Wall – High Raw
LARGE AIRWAYS
Non-Collapsible Components
Maintain Flow during FVC
SMALL AIRWAYS
Thin Wall – Low Raw
Small Airways
Airway Disease-More Collapsible
More Airflow Limitation-Dynamic
Compression of Airways
Collapsible Components of Airways
Spirometric Diagnosis
