Pdf ventilationperfusion mismatch in patients with. Vq mismatch is common and often effects our patients ventilation and oxygenation. Alveolar ventilation is normally about 4 to 6 lmin and pulmonary blood flow which is equal to cardiac output has a similar range, and so the v. In this article, we will discuss ventilation perfusion matching, how mismatch may occur and how this may be corrected. Vq matching means that ventilation and perfusion are matched up, that ventilated alveoli are close to perfused capillaries, which provides for ideal gas exchange.

Goal of ventilation is to stabilize gas exchange and to unload t. Changes in shunt, ventilationperfusion mismatch, and lung aeration.
Gas exchange and ventilationperfusion relationships in the lung. However, ventilation and perfusion must be matched on the alveolarcapillary level, and the v. This is important because, in the absence of alveolar hypoventilation, arterial po 2 pao 2 is generally considered to directly reflect the degree of v. It is a condition in which one or more areas of the lung receive oxygen but no blood flow, or they receive blood flow but no oxygen due to some diseases and disorders. Values of pulmonary shunt and low and high vq mismatch were calculated by a modelbased method from measurements of oxygenation. Overview of mechanical ventilation american thoracic society. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools.
When the proper balance is lost between ventilated alveoli and good blood flow through the lungs, ventilation perfusion mismatch is said to exist.
