Residual volume
air in lung after maximal expiration, cannot be measured on spirometry
Expiratory reserve
air that can still be breathed out after normal expiration
Tidal volume
air that moves into lung with each quiet inspiration, typically 500 mL
Inspiratory reserve volume
air in excess of tidal volume that moves into lung on maximum inspiration
Vital capacity
TV + IRV + ERV
Functional residual capacity
RV + ERV (volume in lungs after normal expiation)
Inspiratory capacity:
IRV + TV
Total lung capacity
IRV + TV + ERV + TV
Physiologic dead space equation
= VT x (PaCO2 - PeCO2) / PaCO2
Physiologic dead space
Anatomical dead space of conducting airways plus functional dead space in alveoli; apex of healthy lung is largest contributor of functional dead space.

Volume of inspired air that does not take part in gas exchange.
Substances that cause methemoglobinemia
chloroquine, primaquine
dapsone
sulfonamides
LA
metoclopramide
nitrates
Differential diagnosis for eosinophilia
Drugs
Neoplasms
Allergy, asthma (Churg strauss)
Addison's (adrenal insufficiency)
AIN: Acute interstital nephritis
Collagen vascular disease
Parasites (Loeffler's eosinophilic pneumonitis due to Ascariasis lumbricoides)
Pulmonary vascular resistance equation
= P(pulm A) = P(L atrium) / CO
Alveolar gas equation (PA02)
= 150 - PACO2/0.8
V/Q mismatch at apex of lung
3 (wasted ventilation due to dead space)
V/Q mismatch at base of lung
0.6 (wasted perfusion)
V/Q mismatch in airway obstruction
0 (due to shunt)
V/Q mismatch in blood flow obstruction
infinity (physiologic dead space)
