Ventilation / Ventilation Control Tests - Equipment and Equations RET 2414L Pulmonary Function Testing Module 5.0
Equipment and Equations • Ventilatory Response to O2
Equipment and Equations • Ventilatory Response to O2 • Equipment Required • Spirometer • Pneumotachometer to measure ventilation • Pressure Transducer / Mouth Shutter • Allows measurement of P100 • Bag-in-Box Circuit • Allows the patient to rebreathe into a bag to which CO2 or O2 can be added • Adjustable Blower • Allows the level of CO2 in the system to be maintained at baseline levels (isocapnia)
Equipment and Equations • Ventilatory Response to O2 • Equipment Required • CO2 Scrubber • Gas Source • O2 / CO2 • Gas analyzers • O2 / CO2 • Pulse Oximeter • Provides data on the patient’s saturation
Equipment and Equations • Ventilatory Response to CO2
Equipment and Equations • Ventilatory Response to CO2 • Equipment Required • Same as that used to measure ventilatory response to O2 with two differences • Bag is filled with 5% to 7% CO2 in O2 • Scrubber is removed from the circuit
Case 4 - 1 • T.J. is a 45-year-old man admitted to the hospital for acute shortness of breath. He has never smoked but has a family history of heart disease. His lungs are clear during auscultation. He becomes breathless just moving around the hospital room. He denies any recent respiratory infections. Because of his rapid respiratory rate, his attending physician requested an arterial blood gas test using room air and VD/VT ratio determination • Age: 45 Weight: 175 • Height: 67 Race: White
Case 4 - 1 • Blood Gas Analysis • pH 7.49 • PCO2 29 • PO2 102 • HCO3- 21 • Hb 14.2 • SaO2 98 • Exhaled Gas Analysis • 24.2 L/min • fB 20 breaths/min • PECO2 14 mm Hg
Case 4 - 1 • Determine VT VT = ____ fB 24.2 20 VT = 1.21 L
Case 4 - 1 • Determine VD/VT VD/VT = PaCO2 – PECO2 PaCO2 = (29 – 14) 29 VD/VT = 0.517 or 52% Remember, normal is 20% - 40%
Case 4 - 1 • Determine = fB (VT – VD) Where: VD = (VD/VT)(VT) VD = 0.517 (1.21) VD = 0.626 Substituting this value for the alveolar ventilation equation = 20(1.21 – 0.626) = 20(0.584) = 11.68
Case 4 - 2 T.B is a 37-year-old man who weighs 275 lb. He was referred to the PFT Laboratory after evaluation in the sleep laboratory revealed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). He admits to daytime somnolence. Baseline PFTs revealed thefollowing ACT %Predicted FVC 3.2 72% FEV1 2.7 81% FEV1% 84 75 – 85% TLC 4.1 71% RV/TLC 22% 20 – 35%
Case 4 - 2 Baseline blood gas results were as follows: pH 7.36 PCO2 47 PO2 77 HCO3- 28 SaO2 93
Case 4 - 2 CO2 response test was performed (breathing a mixture of 7% CO2 in O2 for 4 minutes). The following lab data was obtained: PetCO2 mm Hg (L/min) P100 (cm H2O) 43 4.5 2.2 46 4.4 ---- 50 5.9 ---- 54 7.9 7.8 57 15.1 ---- 59 17.1 12.0 What is the interpretation of: • Ventilatory response to CO2 stimulation? • Respiratory drive response to CO2 stimulation?
