EP3 – Gas Volumes & Gas Exchange | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Respiratory Physiology | CT10
Today I take a look at 'Gas Volumes & Exchange'. There are 5 learning objectives that I go through. Firstly, looking at physics of gas flow and its relationship with resistance (00:41). Followed by the factors that affect airway resistance (11:03) and how it can be measured (18:11). Then I discuss lung volumes and capacities and how they can be measured (21:18). This leads in to talking about Fick's law and an explanation of perfusion and diffusion limitation across the alveoli with respect to O2 and CO2 (28:57). With our final LO being diffusion capacity and measurement of this (34:26)…
