  • The A-a gradient…Alveolar-arterial gradient is the difference between the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli (PAO2) and the partial pressure of the oxygen gas in the arterial blood (PaO2)…This A-a gradient can help differentiate between intrinsic restrictive lung disease and extrinsic restrictive lung disease.

    • @tijanitunkara2553
      @tijanitunkara2553 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yess that is only true when you have high VQ mismatch or even shunting.. Due to diffusion problem.. That’s why it’s more important to give high PEEP than fio2.. when their a shunting, increasing FIO2 will only increase PAO2 but little or no effect on PaO2 causing your A-a griedient to be in the 30’s

  • @dk_doc
    @dk_doc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Please solve my doubt
    We say that in case of vq defect the aa gradient increase
    But how does that occur in case of ventilation block
    I mean when ventilation is zero, there is no air reaching the alveoli for getting exchanged with the blood so the arterial blood po2 (i.e “a” of the Aa gradient drop)
    But if the ventilation is zero, then there is no air reaching the alveoli and then shouldn’t also the alveoli po2 (i.e “A” of Aa gradient also decrease as there is no incoming oxygen)?
    And if both A and a are decreasing, then how come (A-a) is increasing

      Medicosis Perfectionalis when I used 0.3 x age and when I use age/4+4 it’s different results. Eg. Assuming pt is 22, using 0.3 x 22=7.3, but when I do 22/4+4 it turns out to be 9.5.

      Usually VQ mismatch responses to O2.. when VQ mismatch is extremely low is call Dead space which doesn’t respond to oxygen unless you resolve the perfusion (obstruction) problem.. when VQ mismatch is severely high, it call Shunting and shunting doesn’t respond to oxygen either. So that’s why we use high PEEP to help with that.. I hope this help.. I wish I could explain it better but I’m only an ICU nurse
