The Perfect Lung - Gas Exchange 1) Anatomically efficient, well-matched ventilation and perfusion 2) Ideal oxygen carrying system 3) Built-in reserve for exercise or disease

Topics Diffusion – flow (rate) of gases across a tissue interface Oxygen Carriage and Delivery – the transportation of oxygen to the body (concentration x flow) Ventilation Perfusion Relations – the relative proportions of ventilation and blood flow

Abnormal CXR ?? PO2 55, PCO2 27 SaO2 88% Give O2 100% PO2 60, PCO2 33 Unable to correct PO2 (much) with oxygen V/Q abnormalities Shunt

Abnormal CXR [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name]

 PO2 45, PCO2 66, SaO2 80%  Supplemental O2 30% …  PO2 75 mmHg, PCO2 75, SaO2 95%  Marked improvement in PO2 (compared with 100% in 1 st case) but significant increase in CO2 as well Abnormal CXR [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name]

 Bilateral diffuse airspace disease  Cardiomegaly  Peri-bronchial cuffing  Pulmonary venous congestion  PO2 45, PCO2 50, SaO2 80%  Supplemental O2 100%  PO2 60, PCO2 50 Unable to correct PO2 (much)  Shunt plus low cardiac output Abnormal CXR [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name]

Intro: Ventilation/Perfusion Relationship; V/Q V/Q = Amount of ventilation (L/min) Blood Flow (L/min) Low V/Q High V/Q Lowest V/Q = “Shunt”, i.e;.V = 0 Venous Return Arterial Blood

Hypoxemia: Shunt > Low V/Q Can still hyperventilate normal or high V/Q units lower CO 2 PO 2 40 PO 2 60 PO PO 2 40PO 2 70 PCO Normal is 200 ml O2/L ml O2/L

Diffusion Venous Return Arterial Blood What properties determine how much gas can be transferred across the alv. cap. membrane “ Perfusion”; Cardiac Output x Oxygen Concentration = O2 Delivery

Diffusion

Alveolar Diffusion Properties

1) Surface Area for diffusion 2) Thickness of the membrane for diffusion 3) Pressure gradient of the gas across membrane 4) Properties of the gas; ie. Molecular weight, Solubility in the exchange membrane Determinates of Diffusion Capacity [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name]

Diffusion and Perfusion Limitations CO2 diffuses more easily than O2 (more soluble)

Diffusion and Perfusion Limitations Why/How do we assess the capacity of the lung to transport gas? (Diffusion) What properties would a gas have in order to most accurately measure the diffusion capacity of the lung? “Escape” analogy… Such a gas would not exert a partial pressure once it entered the capillary

Diffusion in Alveolus Capillary Pulm Art PO2 40 Pulm Vein PO2 100 Alveolus PO2 100 PO2 55, SaO2 88% PO2 50, SaO2 80% Time (Sec) Capil. PO2 40 O2 SaO2 75%

Abnormal Alveolar Diffusion of Oxygen Venous

Reserve for Alveolar Diffusion of Oxygen e.g. low CO 1) Diseased lung 2) Low Venous PO2

Oxygen (and CO2) Transport

Oxygen Transport 0 2 carried in two forms in blood: – Bound to hemoglobin – Dissolved (the portion that contributes partial pressure) Bound: This is the O 2 bound to Hb as determined by the O 2 dissociation curve. Normally about 200 ml/L at 100% SaO2 Dissolved: There are.03 ml O 2 /1000 ml blood for each mmHg PO 2. (ie: normal blood with a PO 2 of 100 carries 3.0 ml O 2 /1000 ml) – [this is a small amount compared with ~ 200 ml O2/L of blood bound to Hb]

O2 Dissociation Curve 200ml/L 180 ** **Note: need to convert to ml/L (x 10) Gases on 100% O2 in Case #1

Anemia, Polycythemia and Effect of Carbon Monoxide

1 gm of fully saturated (SaO 2 100%) Hb carries approx ml O 2 Normal Hb is ~ 150 gm per 1000 ml 150 gm x 1.34 ml O 2 /gm = ~ 200 ml O 2 per 1000 ml of blood, also referred to as: (Ca O2 = “arterial concentration” = ~ 200 ml/L) 100 gm of fully saturated (SaO 2 100%) Hb (eg. Anemia) would carry ~ 134 ml O 2 /1000 ml of blood Oxygen Transport

O2 Concentration at Different Hb Levels: 200, 150, 100 gm/L ml/L

O 2 Concentration at Different Hb Levels; 200, 150, 100 gm/L ml/L 180

The CO2 Dissociation Curve [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name]

“Shunt”

Measurement of Shunt- definitions Q t = total blood flow, Q s = shunted flow Ca O 2, Cv O 2, Cc’ O 2 Concentration of arterial, mixed venous and end-capillary oxygen The total amount of oxygen carried to the alveoli is the O2 concentration per litre X number of litres of blood per minute – ml O2/L x L/min = ml O2/min (= O2 delivery)

Measurement of Physiologic Shunt Cv O 2 Q t – Q s 100% Oxygen

Measurement of Physiologic Shunt PO2 55, PCO % Oxygen; PO2 60 Cao 2 = 180 ml/L (arterial O2 by ABG and O2 dissociation curve) Cco 2 = 200 ml/L Cvo 2 = 150 ml/L Therefore; Qs Qt = 2/5 = 40% shunt = Cv O 2 Q t – Q s 100% Oxygen

Effect of Shunt on PO 2 Venous O ml/L 50

Ventilation – Perfusion Relationships (V/Q)

Ventilation-Perfusion Relationships

Normal Shunt Dead Space Extreme low V/Q Extreme high V/Q

 Dead space contributes to hypoxemia through “wasted ventilation”  Imagine a Pulmonary Embolism occluding the entire left pulmonary artery…  While perfusion (total cardiac output) is only going to one lung half the ventilation is wasted (no perfusion in the embolized lung)  Unless Ve increases to compensate for dead space, alveolar CO2 rises (more venous blood flow) and O2 falls as a result Dead Space and Hypoxemia [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name] PE; blood clot Wasted Ve (no perfusion) V A = Ve – V D ; increased V D = lower V A

Regional Gas Exchange in the Lung On Room Air

Alveolar Gases at Different Heights of the Lung

VA/Q Ratios in Different Levels of the Lung

Upper alveoli: little volume change per unit pressure change

Perfusion matched to ventilation Distending Pleural Pressure – 10 cm H 2 O – 2 cm H 2 O

High V/Q, lower Ventilation Low V/Q, higher Ventilation

Ventilation-Perfusion Relationships

Can hyperventilate…but… Can add O

Pneumonia: Low V/Q, Shunt Can still hyperventilate normal or high V/Q units lower CO ml O2/L

 Decreased surface area  Decreased pressure gradient for oxygen (low alv O2)  Increased membrane thickness  Alveolar filling  Areas of lower ventilation; stiffness, edema  Adaptations to optimize V/Q  Why gas exchange more affected than an upper lobe pneumonia? [Unit name – Lecture title – Prof name] Questions??

Changes in O 2 Dissociation with: Temp, PCO 2, pH

O 2 delivery (ml/min) is equal to the amount of O 2 carried on Hb plus dissolved (-negligible) multiplied by the volume of blood delivered per minute. ie: O 2 delivered = O 2 per unit volume x volume/minute = ml O 2 /1000 ml x C.O. L /min = 200 ml O 2 / L of blood x 5 L/min = 1000 ml O 2 / min However, not all O2 delivered is utilized. Amount used equals the difference between the arterial and the venous values. Venous O ml per Litre ( 75% Sat ) and Arterial 200 ml / Litre. Difference: 200 – 150 = 50 ml O 2 /L Oxygen consumption at 50 ml O 2 /L and 5L/min CO = 250 ml/min Oxygen Delivery

Oxygen Delivered = C.O. x arterial O 2 Content (O 2 content = gms Hb x % saturation, eg. 150gm 100% Sat = 200 ml O 2 ) eg. O 2 delivery = 5.0 L/min x 200ml / L = 1000 ml/min Only about 25% of the O 2 delivered to the periphery is utilized leaving the blood approx. 75% saturated, ie; 750 ml O 2 / min is returned to the heart. 50 ml O 2 / L x 5.0 L / min = 250 ml O 2 to the tissues.
