Right-to-left shunt fraction (Qs\/Qt) leads to an alveolar dead space fraction (VdA<jats:sub>S<\/jats:sub>\/VtA; where VtA is alveolar tidal volume). In acute respiratory distress syndrome, ancillary physiological disturbances may include low cardiac output, high metabolic rate, anaemia and acid-base instability. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the extent to which shunt contributes to alveolar dead space and perturbs carbon dioxide exchange in ancillary physiological disturbances.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>A comprehensive model of pulmonary gas exchange was based upon known equations and iterative mathematics.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>The alveolar dead space fraction caused by shunt increased nonlinearly with Qs\/Qt and, under 'basal conditions', reached 0.21 at a Qs\/Qt of 0.6. At a Qs\/Qt of 0.4, reduction in cardiac output from 5 l\/minute to 3 l\/minute increased VdA<jats:sub>S<\/jats:sub>\/VtA from 0.11 to 0.16. Metabolic acidosis further augmented the effects of shunt on VdA<jats:sub>S<\/jats:sub>\/VtA, particularly with hyperventilation.
