Study Notes

Normal Ranges

  • Respiratory Rate (RR): 12-20 breaths per minute
  • Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): ≥94%
  • Heart Rate (HR): 60-100 beats per minute
  • Blood Pressure (BP): 120/80 mmHg
  • Body Temperature: 37°C

Pulmonary Function Tests

  • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): ≥80%
  • FEV1/FVC ratio: >0.7

Blood Gas Analysis

  • pH: 7.35-7.45
  • Partial Pressure of Oxygen (PaO2): 80-100 mmHg
  • Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2): 35-45 mmHg
  • Bicarbonate (HCO3): 22-26 mmol/L
  • Base Excess (BE): -2 to +2 mmol/L

Acid-Base Balance

  • Alkalosis: pH increases, PCO2 decreases
  • Acidosis: pH decreases, PCO2 increases
  • Respiratory Acidosis: pH decreases, PCO2 increases, HCO3 decreases
  • Metabolic Acidosis: pH decreases, HCO3 decreases
  • Respiratory Alkalosis: pH increases, PCO2 decreases, HCO3 increases
  • Metabolic Alkalosis: pH increases, HCO3 increases

Blood Results

  • Hemoglobin (Hb): 13-17 g/dL (Men), 12-15 g/dL (Women)
  • White Cell Count (WCC): 4-11 x 10^9/L

ECG Interpretation

  • P wave: atrial depolarization
  • QRS complex: ventricular depolarization, atrial repolarization
  • T wave: ventricular repolarization
  • PR interval: atrial depolarization to ventricular depolarization

Spirometry

  • Flow-Volume Graph: measures lung function
  • Volume-Time Graph: measures lung function

Inflammation Marker

  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP): elevated in inflammation
