In Conclusion

It occurs as a result of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch; the volume of air flowing in and out of the lungs is not matched with the flow of blood to the lung tissue. As a result of the VQ mismatch, PaO 2 falls and PaCO 2 rises. The rise in PaCO 2 rapidly triggers an increase in a patient’s overall alveolar ventilation, which corrects the PaCO 2 but not the PaO 2 due to the different shape of the CO 2 and O 2 dissociation curves. The end result is hypoxaemia (PaO 2< 8 kPa /60mmHg) with normocapnia (PaCO 2< 6.0 kPa / 45mmHg).¹ A nerd is a person who has trouble forming social relationships with others.
