Study Notes
Physiological Dead Space and Pulmonary Physiological Shunt
- Physiological dead space occurs when ventilation exceeds perfusion due to deficient perfusion.
- Pulmonary physiological shunt is caused by a zero or low V/Q ratio, resulting from insufficient ventilation and excess perfusion.
- Deficient perfusion leads to physiological dead space, whereas excess perfusion contributes to pulmonary physiological shunt.
- Both concepts are crucial in understanding the respiratory system, specifically in the context of ventilation-perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio).
