Pulmonary Shunt Calculator

Find the Pulmonary Shunt Ratio, a condition where blood perfuses the lungs’ alveoli but ventilation fails.

Our online Qs/Qt ratio calculator streamlines pulmonary shunt calculations. Easily compute using the shunt ventilation calculator, which considers oxygen content in pulmonary end capillaries, arterial, and mixed venous blood.

    \text{Qs/Qt(Fraction)} = \frac{{C - A}}{{C - V}} \text{Qs/Qt(\%)} = \left(\frac{{C - A}}{{C - V}}\right) \times 100

    Where,

    • P = Pulmonary shunt ratio
    • C = Oxygen content in pulmonary end capillary
    • A = Oxygen content in arterial
    • V = Oxygen content in mixed venous blood
