Medical gas diffusion infographics

In this week's module, you will design an infographic that highlights the exchange of medical gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) across the alveolar capillary membrane.

Instructions:

  • Identify the solubility coefficient of oxygen and carbon dioxide
  • Label the diffusion coefficient of oxygen and carbon dioxide
  • Illustrate the exchange (ratio) of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the A/C membrane
  • Provide relevant information for an audience of respiratory therapy students who is treating a patient with a diffusion defect noted in an arterial blood gas (i.e. Covid-19, ARDS, Pulmonary Edema)

Submission Instructions:
Produce an infographic using a free tool of your choosing. Canva, Adobe Spark, powerpoint, and other tools are readily available. I want you to be creative and clearly communicate to an audience that is not familiar with respiratory therapy.
