Synapse !

Bohr Equation

Bohr equation has boring data .

Bohr equation has Bohring DAETA

VD    =    PACO2    -    PECO2

VT     =    PACO2

VD   

If you use PACO2 you get physiological dead space.

If you use PaCO2 (arterial) instead of PACO2 in the equation, you  get physiological dead space (suggested by Mr. Engoff)

If you use PETCO2 (end tidal) instead of PACO2 in the equation, you get anatomical dead space

PACO2    = Ideal alveolar CO2

PECO2    = Mixed expired CO2

VT              = Tidal volume

PACO2     = Ideal alveolar CO2
