What is complete and incomplete ventilation?

Answer 1

Complete ventilation refers to the process of achieving optimal gas exchange in the lungs, ensuring that all air entering the alveoli is effectively exchanged with carbon dioxide and oxygen, leading to efficient respiratory function. Incomplete ventilation occurs when this gas exchange is compromised, often due to conditions such as airway obstruction or reduced lung capacity, resulting in inadequate oxygen intake and carbon dioxide elimination. This can lead to respiratory distress and decreased overall oxygenation of the body.
