We need a method to evaluate this, so we introduce two new symbols. V is the ''alveolar ventilation'', while Q is the ''perialveolar capillary blood perfusion''. They’re both measured in litres per minute. We often talk about the ratio between the two, the ventilation/perfusion ratio, or V/Q ratio...." Tag: Visual edit
