The medical profession and scientific community generally use SI (Système International) units.
Pressure conversion. SI unit of pressure: 1 Pa (Pa) = 1 N/m2. Because this is small, in medicine the kPa (=103 Pa) is more commonly used. Note that millimetres of mercury (mmHg) are still the most common unit for expressing arterial and venous blood pressures, and low pressures – e.g. central venous pressure and intrapleural pressure – are sometimes expressed as centimetres of H2O (cmH2O). Blood gas partial pressures are reported by some laboratories in kPa and by some in mmHg, so you need to be familiar with both systems.
1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg = 10.2 cmH2O
1 mmHg = 1 Torr = 0.133 kPa = 1.36 cmH2O
1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa = 0.74 mmHg
1 standard atmosphere (≈ 1 bar) = 101.3 kPa = 760 mmHg = 1033 cmH2O
Contents are still commonly expressed per 100 mL (dL−1), and these need to be multiplied by 10 to give the more standard SI unit per litre. Contents are also increasingly being expressed as mmol/L.
For haemoglobin: 1 g/dL = 10 g/L = 0.062 mmol/L
For ideal gases (including oxygen and nitrogen): 1 mmol = 22.4 mL standard temperature and pressure dry (STPD ).
For non‐ideal gases, such as nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide: 1 mmol = 22.25 mL STPD.
Symbols used in respiratory and cardiovascular physiology are shown in Table 1.
Typical inspired, alveolar and blood gas values in healthy young adults are shown in Table 2. Ranges are given for arterial blood gas values. Mean arterial Po2 falls with age, and by 60 years is about 11 kPa/82 mmHg. Typical values for lung volumes and other lung function tests are given in Table 3 and Ward et al. (2022). Ranges for many values are affected by age, sex and height, as well as by the method of measurement; hence it is necessary to refer to appropriate nomograms.
Standard respiratory symbols
| Primary symbols C = content of a gas in blood F = fractional concentration of gas V = volume of a gas P = pressure or partial pressure S = saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen Q = volume of blood A dot over a letter means a time derivative, e.g. = ventilation (l/min) = blood flow (l/min) Secondary symbols Gas I = inspired gas E = expired gas A = alveolar gas D = dead space gas T = tidal B = barometric ET = end‐tidal Blood a = arterial v = venous c = capillary A dash means mixed or mean, e.g. = mixed venous A′ after a symbol means end, e.g. c' = end‐capillary Tertiary symbols O2 = oxygen CO2 = carbon dioxide CO = carbon monoxide Examples o2 = oxygen consumption PAco2 = alveolar partial pressure of carbon dioxide |
