Q

What is the pathology behind Cor pulmonale?

A

hypoxia leads to vasoconstriction in the lung vessels. This increases the pulomary pressure leading to increased strain on the right side of the heart. Ultimatly this leads to right sided heart failure.

A

Dilated pupils

Bounding pulse

Hand flap

Myoclonus

Confusion

Drowsyness

Coma

42
Q

What is P pulmonale as an ECG?

A

Peaked T waves due to right atrial enlagment

43
Q

What other ECG changes maybe seen with cor pulmonale?

A

Tachycarida - irregular

Righ axis deviation

RBBB?

44
Q

What is the definition of chronic bronchitis?

A

Cough lasting with sputum lasting for most days for 3 months in 2 consequetive year.

45
Q

What are the criteria for long term oxygen use?

A

Terminally ill

Non-smokers with PaCO2 <7.3 for > 3 weeks

PaCO2 7.3-8 + polycythemia/pulmonary hypertension/oedema/nocturnal hypoxia

46
Q

A Patient presents with an acute exacerbation of COPD. ABGs show that the patient is not retaining CO2. What sats should be aimed for?

A

94-98% O2 sats

47
Q

A COPD exacerbations shows an ABG where the patient is retaining CO2. What sats shoudl be aimed for?

A

88-92% sats

48
Q

Reasons to give antibiotics during in an exacerbation of COPD

A

SoB

purulent sputum

Temp > 38C

Consolidatio on CXR

49
Q

What are the pros and cons of a Nasal canula?

A

easy to apply

good patient efficacy

cannot titrate O2

50
Q

What are the pros and cons of a non-rebreath mask?

A

High O2 delivery

difficult to titrate

Remeber to inflate bag before use

51
Q

What are the pros and cons of a venturi mask?

A

Can control and titrate O2

Patients don’t like them

Can be hard to find on a ward

52
Q

How do you calculate the FiO2 of a venturi mask?

A

(ventruri saturation x flow) + (room air @ 20% x Flow)

53
Q

Will increasing the flow of O2 through a Venturi mask increase the concentration of O2?

A

NO

54
Q

When may a patients O2 demands need to be titrated upwards/ increased?

A

Ill, sepsis and infection etc.

55
Q

What is Siderblastic aneamia?

A

Microcytic anaemia due to poor erythropoesis

Leads to increased Iron loading

56
Q

How would you defficiency iron deficiency aneamia from other microcytic anaemias?

A

Iron deficiency anaemia doesn’t have increased ferratin/ serum ferratin (as there isn’t iron overloading) comapared to thalassaemia and sidoblastic anaemia.

57
Q

Patient has microcytic anaemia but which isnt repsonsive to iron suppliments, what could it be?

A

Sidoblastic aneamia however very rare

58
Q

What is the cause of anaemia of chronic disease?

A

decreased erythropoesis, decreased RBC life due to cytokines, ineffective EPO.

Most common anaemia in hostpital patients

59
Q

Which food have folate?

A

Green vegertables

Nuts

Yeast

Liver
