Understanding the basic anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system is crucial for comprehending the processes involved in breathing. The upper airway humidifies inhaled gases and serves as the site of most resistance to airflow. The lower airway consists of conducting airways and alveoli for gas exchange. In terms of physiology, a negative pressure circuit exists to maintain alveolar open, overcome resistance, and balance elastic recoil forces of the chest wall and lungs. Ventilation involves the regulation of carbon dioxide levels and effective tidal volume. Additionally, respiration encompasses internal and external processes related to gas exchange in alveoli. Explore the dynamics of respiration, ventilation, and gas exchange in this comprehensive guide.

Basic Anatomy Upper Airway humidifies inhaled gases site of most resistance to airflow Lower Airway conducting airways (anatomic dead space) respiratory bronchioles and alveoli (gas exchange)
Basic Physiology Negative pressure circuit Gradient between mouth and pleural space is the driving pressure need to overcome resistance maintain alveolus open overcome elastic recoil forces Balance between elastic recoil of chest wall and the lung

Ventilation Carbon Dioxide PaCO2= k * alveolar minute ventilation metabolic production Alveolar MV = resp. rate * effective tidal vol. Effective TV = TV - dead space Dead Space = anatomic + physiologic
PHYSIOLOGY Respiration Ventilation: air entering and leaving the alveoli. Transfer through the alveolo- capillary membrane: exchange of O2 and CO2 between the blood in the capillaries and the gases in the alveoli. Perfusion - Circulation: transfer of O2 from the pulmonary capillaries to the cells of the body and transfer of CO2 from the cells to the pulmonary capillaries. Cellularrespiration: transfer of O2 in the blood to the cells and CO2 from the cells to the blood.

Oxygenation Oxygen: Minute ventilation is the amount of fresh gas delivered to the alveolus Partial pressure of oxygen in alveolus (PAO2) is the driving pressure for gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary barrier PAO2 = ({Atmospheric pressure - water vapor}*FiO2) - PaCO2 / RQ Match perfusion to alveoli that are well ventilated Hemoglobin is fully saturated 1/3 of the way thru the capillary
The alveolus PalvCO2 = Palv e.g. 5 % x 760 = 38 mm Hg % CO2 x PalvO2 = e.g. 13.3 % x 760 = 101 mm Hg e.g. 50 % x 760 = 380 mm Hg e.g. 50 % x (760 + 25) = 393 mm Hg (25 mm Hg = 33 cm H2O) % O2 x PALV PalvCO= 5 % x 760 = 38 mm Hg PalvO2 = 45 % x 760 = 342 mm Hg PalvN = 50 % x 760

Abnormal Gas Exchange Hypoxemia can be due to: hypoventilation V/Q mismatch shunt diffusion impairments Hypercarbia can be due to: hypoventilation V/Q mismatch Due to differences between oxygen and CO2 in their solubility and respective disassociation curves, shunt and diffusion impairments do not result in hypercarbia
Gas Exchange Hypoventilation and V/Q mismatch are the most common causes of abnormal gas exchange in the PICU Can correct hypoventilation by increasing minute ventilation Can correct V/Q mismatch by increasing amount of lung that is ventilated or by improving perfusion to those areas that are ventilated
Mechanical Ventilation What we can manipulate Minute Ventilation (increase respiratory rate, tidal volume) Pressure Gradient = A-a equation (increase atmospheric pressure, FiO2, increase ventilation, change RQ) Surface Area = volume of lungs available for ventilation (increase volume by increasing airway pressure, i.e., mean airway pressure) Solubility = ?perflurocarbons?
