Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “The patient’s alveolar ventilation was___________ or __________ ventilation.”
Introduction:
Alveolar ventilation can be defined as the amount of air that reaches the alveoli of the lungs during each breath. Its function is to remove the carbon dioxide from the blood and to take oxygen to the body tissues. It happens because of the passage of the gases according to the concentration gradient.
Please refer to Clinical Application Case-1 for further information.
