Cause of “death rattle”
Frothy white pulmonary edema fluid.
Character of edema in cardiogenic vs non-cardiogenic
Protein-poor if cardiogenic; Protein-rich if non-cardiogenic (pneumonia, ARDS, etc)
Physical exam sign to tell if pulmonary edema is cardiogenic or not?
JVD
Histologic apperance that corresponds to white frothy fluid

ARDS is the clinical picture of
Acute Lung Injury
In ALI, single alveolar unit acts as
Shunt
Surfactant in ALI
Inactivated
ARDS is associated with intense
Inflammation
ARDS: profound ___-philia, even in the ____
Neutrophilia, even in the periphery
ARDS: Severe hypoxemia due to
Shunting
Compliance in ARDS

Why not treat with maximal FiO2 in ARDS
Free radicals
How does PEEP improve oxygenation in ARDS
Recruits atelectatic alveoli and increases FRC
Patients with ARDS die due to

Presenation of TE Fistula
Pneumonia or Regurgitation of attempted feeding shortly after birth
Bronchogenic Cysts
Arise from abnormal detachments of primitive foregut
Pulmonary Sequestration
Discrete area of lung tissue that lacks connection to airway system and has abnormal blood supply from aorta
