00:00 Great! We’ve covered a lot of topics today. 00:05 But we should be able to go back and think through what an arterial to venous and alveolar to arterial O2 gradient is. 00:16 You should also be able to describe the different kinds of tissue hypoxia and what are the mechanisms underlying correcting that. 00:25 And remember that was a process in which EPO was produced and then produced more erythrocytes or red blood cells. 00:33 You should also be able to predict the mechanism of hypoxemia. 00:37 And you should go through a couple of clinical scenarios that go through this process. 00:43 Remember the main mechanisms of hypoxemia or hypoventilation or a low PIO2. 00:51 We have a diffusional impairment. 00:54 We have a right to left shunt and a ventilation to perfusion mismatch or inequality. 01:01 Finally, we went through the relationship between alveolar ventilation and hypercapnea and if you have a hypercapnea, you’ll know that alveolar ventilation was low. 01:11 If you have a hypocapnea, you would automatically know that alveolar ventilation rate was high.
The lecture Learning Outcomes – Hypoxemia and Hypercapnia by Thad Wilson, PhD is from the course Respiratory Physiology.

This lecture is spectacular. This is another topic I have struggle with, and here Dr. Wilson has brought absolute clarity. Thanks Dr. Wilson! Thanks Lecturio!!
