decreased PAco2
PaCO2
It is part of the anatomic dead space calculation. PaCO2 (arterial carbon dioxide) minus PeCO2 (end tidal CO2) The formula for calculating anatomic dead space (the space where there is ventilation without perfusion in the respiratory system, between mouth and terminal bronchi) PaCO2-PeCO2/PaCO2. Accurate values for calculation need to be obtained from an ABG (arterial blood gas)
PaCO2.
the aveoli in the lungs and skin
95-100
pco2 is partial pressure of o2 in the capillary and paco2 is partial pressure of co2 in the arteries. So, one is a measurement of O2 and the other is CO2
The PaCO2 range is 35 to 45 mmHg
35-45 mm Hg
decrease intracranial pressure
ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation
It's a level of carbon dioxide in the blood that's higher than normal.
