Abstract

Objectives: To find the relationship of the concentration of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide in the respiratory system. Our objective is to establish the relationship between partial pressure and saturation of oxygen. Also, to evaluate the Oxygen diffusion capacity into the capillary at different levels of hemoglobin. Methods: We follow the classical equations solved using analytic and numerical techniques for evaluating the diffusion capacity of oxygen from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary by MATLAB software simulation. Findings: Establish the relationship between partial pressure and saturation of oxygen at various situations. Evaluate the diffusion capacity behaviour of the Oxygen into the capillary by different levels of hemoglobin. Novelty: This study presents a parametric model of the concentration of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide in the respiratory system that incorporates partial pressure and saturation relation concerning the exchange of gases. We also solved the classical relationship numerically.

Keywords: Oxygen concentration, Gas exchange, Partial Pressure, Saturation of gases, Mathematical model and simulation
