Ventilation:Perfusion Ratios & V/Q Defects - Physiology Flashcards | ditki medical and biological sciences
Emedicodiary - The ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) ratio is an indication of how well alveolar ventilation matches pulmonary capillary perfusion. A healthy V/Q for the entire lung is 0.8. Due to gravitational forces, the
