the pco2 level in the expired air under normal condition is approximately 1 )49mm of hg 2) 100mm of hg 3) 32 mm of hg 4) 116 my of hg |

Answer» It is 49mm of Hg. The influence of CO2 storage in lung tissue and CERTAIN pathophysiologic conditions on the accuracy of these methods was systematically investigated with a COMPREHENSIVE multi-chamber computer simulation of the lung. For normal levels of CO2 storage capacity, satisfactory estimates of arterial-venous O2 content difference are feasible for DIFFERENCES less than 8 volumes percent; with high levels of CO2 storage capacity, large errors can occur. |
