This air participates in gasseous exchange but anatomical dead space volume cannot do so. V d V t = P A C O 2 − P e C O 2 P A C O 2 Ī common step is to then presume that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the end-tidal exhaled air is in equilibrium with that gas' tension in the blood that leaves the alveolar capillaries of the lung. Amount of air that remains within lungs after a forced exhalation is called residual volume. The original formulation by Bohr, required measurement of the alveolar partial pressure P A. The Bohr equation is used to quantify the ratio of physiological dead space to the total tidal volume, and gives an indication of the extent of wasted ventilation. It differs from anatomical dead space as measured by Fowler's method as it includes alveolar dead space. The two types of dead space are anatomical dead space and physiologic dead space. Pulmonary dead space (VD) is the volume that does not participate in gas exchange, and the sum of anatomical dead space (conduit airways such as the mouth. The anatomical dead space is that portion of the respiratory system, which is external to the alveoli and includes the air conveying ducts from the nostrils to. This is given as a ratio of dead space to tidal volume. Dead space represents the volume of ventilated air that does not participate in gas exchange. The Bohr equation, named after Danish physician Christian Bohr (1855–1911), describes the amount of physiological dead space in a person's lungs. Not to be confused with the Bohr model or the Bohr effect.
