How do you define the Paco2-PeCo2 equation?

It is part of the anatomic dead space calculation. PaCO2 (arterial carbon dioxide) minus PeCO2 (end tidal CO2) The formula for calculating anatomic dead space (the space where there is ventilation without perfusion in the respiratory system, between mouth and terminal bronchi) PaCO2-PeCO2/PaCO2. Accurate values for calculation need to be obtained from an ABG (arterial blood gas)


Why is anatomic and physiologic dead space the same in a normal lung?

anatomic dead space is the space from the nose to the terminal bronchiole. Also know as the conducting part, its main function is to warm, humidifie and filter air. no gaseous exchange takes place here. physioligical dead space is when any of the alveoli donot take part in gaseous exchange (eg. collapse of alveoli due to absence of surfactan). this is more seen in diseased lung, hence in a normal healthy lung this entity can be neglected.


Physiological dead air space is anatomic dead plus?

Physiological dead space includes both anatomical dead space (air that fills the conducting airways where no gas exchange occurs) and alveolar dead space (alveoli that receive inadequate blood supply for gas exchange). It represents the total volume of the respiratory system that does not participate in gas exchange.

What is alveolar dead space?

Alveolar dead space refers to the portion of the air in the lungs that does not participate in gas exchange because it does not come into contact with the pulmonary capillaries. This can occur when there is impaired blood flow to certain areas of the lungs, leading to ventilation without perfusion. Alveolar dead space can contribute to ventilation-perfusion mismatch and can impact the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs.
