What does vd of inhalation anesthesia mean?
VD is a common parameter on ventilators and can also be seen on anesthesia machines, indicating dead space. It is defined as the amount of gas in the airway above respiratory bronchioles, which is about 150ml for normal people. Of course, this parameter usually appears in the form of Vd/Vt (Dead Space Volume/Tidal Volume).
