deposition of fibrous tissues in lungs, destroys alveoli
barrier created by fibrous tissue

so extreme V/Q = 0
shunting as if blood bypassed lung
anatomic: large congenital defect (VSD)
normal
left alveoli with V/Q of 0
result hypoxemia when blood mixed
hyperventilation cannot increase PaO2: blood only goes through healthy alveoli, still mixing at end. Only way to resolve is to resolve shunting (take out mucous plug)
no hypercapnea: more CO2 is pulled with hyperventilation

PE clotting blood
O2 in arterial will be normal, no hypoxemia if pure dead space
No blood to left, more blood to right: reduced V/Q, less than 99% O2 sat coming out (V/Q mistmach)
CO2 up: ventilation wasted because CO2 not exchanged
_..
water resulting in less ventilation V/Q < 1
distinct from shunt/dead space
_..

O2 only goes to right side
nothing changes on left side, even if give 100% O2
hypoxemia persists
all blood pushed to right side, Q very high
hypoxemia if on room air, 21%
can fix hypoxemia if changed to 100% O2
_..
increased dead space causes hypercapnia
when patient ventilates, none of the ventilation wasted on left side
less ventilation to left side
_..
apex least blood flow: blood has to push up against gravity
Tb has affinity for highly oxygenated part of body, upper lobe
_..

more hydrostatic pressure at bottom
bottom blood vessels fully extended; blood flow normally
top: alveolar pressure higher, compress vessels, no blood flow
middle: compress veins, pulsatile flow when RV contract to push blood through but no flow in veins in diastole
in real life, most lungs are all zone 3
in pathologic state: more lungs in Zone 1, especially ventilator (pressure in alveoli very high )
