Dead space: the physiology of wasted ventilation.
An elevated physiological dead space, calculated from measurements of arterial CO2 and mixed expired CO2, has proven to be a useful clinical marker of prognosis both for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and for patients with severe heart failure. Although a frequently cited explanation for an elevated dead space measurement has been the development of alveolar regions receiving...
متن کاملResting pulmonary ventilation and dead space ventilation during the menstrual cycle.
By reanalyzing our previous study (TAKANO et al., 1981) of resting ventilation and PACO2 during the menstrual cycle of eight healthy women, we found that relative to the follicular phase, a 9.4% increase in VA (p less than 0.05) and a 2.5 mmHg decrease in PACO2 (p less than 0.001) occurring during the luteal phase, both of which have been reported previously, were attributable mostly to a decre...

متن کاملCan dead space fraction predict the length of mechanical ventilation in exacerbated COPD patients?
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition in which there is limited airflow during expiration (exhaling, or breathing out) that is not fully reversible and usually worsens over time. The disease is estimated to kill more than 100,000 Americans each year, and costs related to care of patients with COPD are significant. Physiologically, COPD represents a disruption in...
متن کاملThe effects of apparatus dead space on P(aCO2) in patients receiving lung-protective ventilation.
BACKGROUND Lung-protective ventilation using tidal volume (V(T)) of 4-6 mL/kg (predicted body weight) reduces mortality (compared with traditional V(T)) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury. Standardized use of lower V(T) can result in respiratory acidosis and has raised new concerns about the appropriate configuration of the ventilator circuit, especially ...
