Total dead space (also known as physiological dead space) is the sum of the anatomical dead space and the alveolar dead space. Benefits do accrue to a seemingly wasteful design for ventilation that includes dead space. [1] Carbon dioxide is retained, making a bicarbonate-buffered blood and interstitium possible.
The only source of CO 2 is the alveolar space where gas exchange with blood takes place. Thus the alveolar fractional component of CO 2, F A, will always be higher than the average CO 2 content of the expired air because of a non-zero dead space volume V d, thus the above equation will always yield a positive number.
In physiology, dead space is the volume of air which is inhaled that does not take part in the gas exchange, either because it remains in the conducting airways, or reaches alveoli that are not perfused or poorly perfused. In other words, not all the air in each breath is available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
In respiratory physiology, the ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio) is a ratio used to assess the efficiency and adequacy of the ventilation-perfusion coupling and thus the matching of two variables: V – ventilation – the air that reaches the alveoli; Q – perfusion – the blood that reaches the alveoli via the capillaries
