When we consider the different CO2 content within every mmHg-L of
blood and air, Fblood AND Fair.
Then all the Effective Q within the formulae should be replaced by
(Effective Q)x(F blood), Effective V replaced by (Effective V)x(F
air).
We could also estimate the factors from normal person whose Venous CO2
46mmHg, Arterial/Alveolar CO2 40mmHg, Effective Q 5L/min, Effective V
4.2L/min.
CO2 production=6 x(Effective Q)x (F blood)= 40 x(Effective V)x (F air)
30 Fblood= 168 Fair
the formulae become:
effective ventilation determines alveolar CO2 when balanced,
alveolar CO2 = (CO2 production rate) / (effective alveolar minute
ventilation)/(F air)
effective perfusion & effective ventilation determines venous CO2
venous CO2
=(CO2 production rate)[1/(effective Q)/(F blood)+1/(effective alveolar
MV)/(F air)]
effective perfusion,ventilation & shunt determines arterial CO2
arterial CO2
=(CO2 production rate)[(shunt fraction)/(effective Q)/(F blood) + 1/
(effective alveolar MV)/(F air) ]
=(CO2 production rate)[1/(effective CO)/(F blood) + 1/(effective
alveolar MV)/(F air) ]
