RESPIRATORY FAILURETime Constants# Time required for lung unit to fill to 63% of final volume.# Time constant = Resistance x Compliance# Those alveoli with shorter time constants fill faster.# Local variation in resistance and compliance effect gasdistribution.# e.g. overall TC is increased in Asthma
RESPIRATORY FAILURESurfactant# LaPlace's Law P = 2 T / r# This would predict that small alveoli would empty intolarge ones.# However Surfactant allows a decrease in surface tensionas the radius decreases.# Therefore Pressure stays the same.# Made by type II pneumocytes.# Surfactant deficiency occurs in many disease states.
