All the expired CO2 comes from the alveolar gas
Alveolar Ventilation Equation using PCO 2
Alveolar Gas Equation
Using the Alveolar Gas Equation
Alveolar gas equation for hypoventilation
What inspired O 2 concentration is required to return the alveolar PO 2 to normal?
Causes of hypoventilation
PO 2 cascade showing a diffusion step
Time courses for PO 2 in the capillary
