Alveolar Gas Equation | Alveolar-arterial (A-a) gradient | Respiratory Physiology

✨Alveolar ventilation, the alveolar ventilation equation, the alveolar gas equation, the alveolar-arterial gradient. They all sound so similar. So in this video, I've just briefly summarised all of them. I hope it helps!☀️
🌟In this video, we answer these questions and look at:
0:00 - Intro
0:13 - Alveolar vs Minute Ventilation
1:10 - Alveolar Ventilation Equation
3:21 - Alveolar Gas Equation
5:06 - Alveolar - arterial gradient
🔢 All the numbers used in this video are averages simplified for understanding. Actual numbers would obviously vary and would be in ranges.
