PeCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in exhaled air.PaCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.The Bohr Method formula for the Physiologic Dead Space is: However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

Volume of Dead Space (V D): The calculator returns the volume in milliliters (ml).

( PeCO2) This is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in exhaled air.

( PaCO2) This is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following: The Physiologic Dead Space (Bohr Method) calculator computes the volume of dead space (V D) based on the tidal volume (V T) and the partial pressures of carbon dioxide in arterial blood, exhaled air and ambient air.
