Basics of VQ Matching

In this video from Count Backwards from 10, we take a look at the basics of ventilation and perfusion matching, as well as the basics of shunts and dead space and examples of them and expected changes. This is super important for understanding further pathologic physiology and serves as the backbone for further management.

Oh my gosh I am so grateful for you! I’ve watched countless videos on v/q and was struggling so hard with grasping it. Your video made it so incredibly clear and understandable. Especially providing what types of things cause each

[@nassertajiani2700]

Thank you for the great informative V/Q mismatch explanation in a best way possible. Not every teacher is a good teacher! You are a fantastic teacher.

Thank you Sir

Great video! Just to clarify, both shunt and dead space increase arterial CO2 but decrease ETCO2, right?

[@Lex-fc1rx]

Thank you

NP student here! I need to know this well for my test. This is sooo helpful.

Do clear !

[@TheTheaterThug]

so then why would an AVM be considered a shunt? The problem with an AVM is not the ventilation like in the examples described for shunts, the problem is the lack of perfusion since blood is not getting to capillary beds. Sounds like dead space to me but UWorld is calling it a left to right shunt

[@kostasvarkoulis1678]

hypoxic vasoconstriction is treated with Nitrous Oxide if u re already on 100% o2 during anesthesia?

[@stephaniesilva3230]

Can septic shock be an example of dead space? My logic is with the leaky capillaries, blood flow through the alveoli would decrease.

[@robochibi]

No, Septic shock would likely cause pulmonary edema which would lead to shunting and not dead space
