Pulmonary Perfusion Pulmonary blood flow 5l/min Total pulmonary blood volume -500ml to 1000ml These volume going to be spreaded all along the alveolar capillary membrane which has 50 to 100 m² surface area
Pulmonary Perfusion Pulmonary blood flow 5l/min Total pulmonary blood volume -500ml to 1000ml These volume going to be spreaded all along the alveolar capillary membrane which has 50 to 100 m² surface area
Distribution of Pulmonary Perfusion Due to gravitational influence the lower – dependent areas receive more blood Upper zone – nondependent areas are less per fused
Pulmonary circulation – Alveolar Perfusion Q ZONE-I: Only exist if Ppa very low in hypovolemia / PA in PEEP ZONE-II: Perfusion α Ppa-PA arterial-alveolar gradient ZONE-III: Perfusion α Ppa-Ppv arterial-venous gradient ZONE-IV: Perfusion α Ppa-Pist arterial-interstitial gradient
Ventilation Ventilation is unevenly distributed in the lungs. Rt lung more ventilated than Lt lung [53% & 47%] Due to gravitational influence on intra plural pr [decreased 1cm/H2O per 3cm decrease in lung height] lower zones better ventilated

SHUNT SHUNTS have different effects on arterial PCO2 (PaCO2 ) than on arterial PO2 (PaO2 ). Blood passing through under ventilated alveoli tends to retain its CO2 and does not take up enough O2. Blood traversing over ventilated alveoli gives off an excessive amount of CO2, but cannot take up increased amount of O2 because of the shape of the oxygen-hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) dissociation curve. Hence, a lung with uneven V̇P relationships can eliminate CO2 from the over ventilated alveoli to compensate for the under ventilated alveoli. Thus, with Shunt, PACO2 -to-PaCO2 gradients are small, and PAO2 -to-PaO2 gradients are usually large.
SHUNT PAO2 is directly related to FIO2 in normal patients. PAO2 and FIO2 also correspond to PaO2 when there is little to no shunt. With no S/T, a linear increase in FIO2 results in a linear increase in PaO2. As the shunt is increased, the S/T lines relating FIO2 to PaO2 become progressively flatter. With a shunt of 50% of QT, an increase in FIO2 results in almost no increase in PaO2 . The solution to the problem of hypoxemia secondary to a large shunt is not increasing the FIO2 , but rather causing a reduction in the shunt (fiberoptic bronchoscopy, PEEP, patient positioning, antibiotics, suctioning, diuretics).

Ventilation Perfusion ratio VA/Q V̇P inequalities have different effects on arterial PCO2 (PaCO2 ) than on arterial PO2 (PaO2 ). Blood passing through under ventilated alveoli tends to retain its CO2 and does not take up enough O2. Blood traversing over ventilated alveoli gives off an excessive amount of CO2 but cannot take up a proportionately increased amount of O2 because of the flatness of the oxygen-hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) dissociation curve in this region. Hence, a lung with uneven V̇P relationships can eliminate CO2 from the over ventilated alveoli to compensate for the under ventilated alveoli. Thus, with uneven V̇P relationships, PACO2 -to-PaCO2 gradients are small, and PAO2 -to-PaO2 gradients are usually large.
