Jan 23, 2023 · Ventilation (V) refers to the flow of air into and out of the alveoli, while perfusion (Q) refers to the flow of blood to alveolar capillaries. Individual alveoli have variable degrees of ventilation and perfusion in different regions of the lungs.

What are the processes of the respiratory system?
Pulmonary ventilation comprises two major steps: inspiration and expiration. Inspiration is the process that causes air to enter the lungs, and expiration is the process that causes air to leave the lungs ( Figure 22.3.3 ). A respiratory cycle is one sequence of inspiration and expiration.

- Volume-cycled ventilation. Volume-cycled ventilation delivers a set tidal volume. This mode includes. Volume-control (V/C) Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV)
- Pressure-cycled ventilation. Pressure-cycled ventilation delivers a set inspiratory pressure. This mode includes. Pressure control ventilation (PCV) Pressure support ventilation (PSV)
- Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) NIPPV is the delivery of positive pressure ventilation via a tight-fitting mask that covers the nose or both the nose and mouth.
- Ventilator settings. Ventilator settings are tailored to the underlying condition, but the basic principles are as follows. Tidal volume and respiratory rate set the minute ventilation.
Ventilation rates measure the volumes of air moving in and out of the lungs, over a period of time. During normal quiet breathing, each breath of air that enters and leaves the lungs is about half a liter, which is called the tidal volume.
Ventilation, diffusion and perfusion. Ventilation consists of two parts: Expiration, when the intrapulmonary pressure is higher than the atmosphere, air will flow out of the lungs. Diffusion is the process whereby gases move from an area of high pressure to low pressure.
Ventilation, or breathing, is the movement of air through the conducting passages between the atmosphere and the lungs. The air moves through the passages because of pressure gradients that are produced by contraction of the diaphragm and thoracic muscles.
The processes of the respiratory system are pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, transport of gases, internal respiration, and cellular respiration. Pulmonary Ventilation. Pulmonary ventilation is the act of breathing, which can be described as the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
