Alveolar air volume - amount of air that reaches alveoli for gas exchange (approx. 350 ml. For adult male) Tidal volume minus dead space Dead air space - anatomic dead space are structures that hold air but but can't participate in gas exchange. Physiologic dead space are alveoli or capill...

Upper Airway - Consists of all structures above the level of the vocal cords. The nose, mouth, jaw, oral cavity and pharynx. Lower Airway - Function is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Starts at the larynx. Spans from the glottis to the pulmonary capillary membrane. Turbinates - ...

What are the adult ventilation rates and adequate volumes? - 12-20 breaths per minute, 120/80 BP, O2 Stat of greater than 95% What are the complications of hyperventilation? - Leads to carbon dioxide blow off, which causes vasoconstriction, and limits blood flow to the brain What is dysp...
