Describe the etiology, pathophysiology, and manifestations of the following perfusion disorders: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Stroke Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) COPD Asthma

Assignment Question

Two important aspects of gas exchange in the lung are ventilation and perfusion. Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs, and perfusion is the flow of blood in the pulmonary capillaries. For gas exchange to be efficient, the volumes involved in ventilation and perfusion should be compatible. However, factors such as regional gravity effects on blood, blocked alveolar ducts, or disease can cause ventilation and perfusion to be imbalanced. Using the resources given within the module, online and the OpenStax chapter 22 readings provide answers with research to support the following: Describe the etiology, pathophysiology, and manifestations of the following perfusion disorders: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Stroke Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) COPD Asthma

Submission of the assignment should be in a word document and include all of the above answered in paragraph form. You must have in-line citations in APA format for your sources. Grammar counts. Write-up should be at least 2 pages in length.
