The art line sh0uld be a right arm.

H0w are C02 and 0xygen exchanged?
At the alve0lar and tissue levels.
Thr0ugh respirati0n (the exchange 0f bl00d and inspired gas in the lungs).
0xygenat0r = Pump

0xygenat0r = Regulate C02.
Pump = Circulate Bl00d.
What is the best way t0 c0ntr0l C02?
What is the best way t0 c0ntr0l 0xygenati0n? C02
equals sweep.
0xygenati0n equals fl0w.
, Tell me ab0ut Sweep. C0ntr0ls
C02 rem0val.
The driving fact0r f0r 0xygenati0n Zer0
sweep equals zer0 0xygenati0n.
The left half is in mL/min, whereas the right half is in LPM. Cl0sely check C02
clearance (particularly in a chr0nic C02 retainer).
VA ECM0 Sweep and Fd02 cann0t be VV
ECM0 Sweep can
If the sweep is less than 1, an 0rder 0f <1 is required. Fd02 n0t less than 50%.
Sweep must ALWAYS be 0n with VA (pH is king; adjustments are n0t always
necessary). Metab0lic dis0rders necessitate medicati0n, n0t m0dificati0ns in a
sweep.
Sweep can be nil, and Fd02 can reach 21%.
What is the maximum sweep 0n a blender all0wed?
What is the maximum sweep with a fl0wmeter?
11 LPM with blender.
15 LPM using fl0wmeter.
