Some apparatus dead space may actually reduce total dead space, as an ETT bypasses the majority of anatomical dead space of the patient (nasopharynx).ĭead space from the patient. Types of Dead Spaceĭead space from equipment, such as tubes ventilator circuitry. The anatomical dead space is that portion of the respiratory system, which is external to the alveoli and includes the air conveying ducts from the nostrils to. Recall that physiological dead space (or total dead space) results from the combination of two broad types of dead space: anatomical dead space and dead space resulting from. Anatomical dead space is increased because all these agents are bronchodilators.
All inhalational agents increase both anatomical and alveolar dead space. Endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy decreases the anatomical dead space by bypassing the upper airways. Glomerular Filtration and Tubular Functionĭead space is the proportion of minute ventilation which does not participate in gas exchange. Therefore, dead space volume ( VD ) may be either anatomic or alveolar in nature. and its Role in Alveolar Gas Exchange: Advances in Respiratory Physiology, Edward. All anesthesia circuits, masks, humidifiers increase the anatomical dead space. In contrast, incomplete obstruction of a pulmonary artery increases physiological dead space, ie, ratios of ventilation to perfusion increase. Functional Anatomy and Control of Blood Flow
