Mnemonic to remember

OPEN NOH - TGH

A

Nasopharynx - Tensor (No tension)
Oropharynx - Genioglossus (OGod)
Hypopharynx – Hyoid (HH)

162
Q

Muller’s maneuver is (MI)

A

Inhaling against a closed glottis

163
Q

Valsava maneuver is (VE)

A

Exhaling against a closed glottis

164
Q

I actively let AIR out of my TIRE

A

Active Exhalation- Happens when increase in minute ventilation or COPD Patients

Abdominal Musculature

Transverse Abdominis
Internal Oblique
Rectus Abdominis
External Oblique

Internal Intercoastals- 2ndary role

Exhalation is normally passive

165
Q

A

v1= opthalamic ( anterior ethmoidal) Nares and anterior 1/2 of nasal septum

v2 maxillary (sphenopalatine) Turbinates and septum

v3 Mandibular (lingual) anterior 2/3 of tongue

O-cyrus: eyes
Max:smell
Tibu:love

166

A

Diaphragm

External intercostals

Accessory Muscles- Sternocleidomastoid & Scalene

169
Q

Effective Cough

A

VC 15/ml/kg

170
Q

Transpulmonary Pressure = difference of pressures

A

AP-IP = Transpulmonary Pressure

Alveolar Pressure: inside airway
Intrapleural Pressure: outside airway (always negative)

TPP + = Airway open
TPP - = Airway collapses

171
Q

AP is

A

a little negative during inspiration

a little positive during expiration

172
Q

NO airflow when

A

at FRC
or
end-inspiration

173
Q

Normal deadspace

A

~2 mL/kg

70 kg: 150 mL

174
Q

Increasing dead space causes

A

paco2- etco2 gradient wider

co2 retention

175
Q

How do you calculate alveolar ventilation?

A

Tidal volume- dead space x RR

directly prop: co2 production
inverse to Paco2
