How does anatomical dead space vary?
I thought that it is a fixed volume in a person. Is it due to the size of the subject - i.e. larger means greater anatomical dead space?
And is the reason physiological dead space can't be measured directly because you need to know both anatomical and alveolar dead spaces before?
Thanks
