Q

tell me about obesity and lung compliance and elastic resistance

A

INCREASED ELASTIC RESISTANCE AND DECREASE IN CHEST WALL COMPLIANCE ARE FURTHER REDUCED WHEN SUPINE RESULTING IN SHALLOW AND RAPID BREATHING AND LIMITED MAXIMUM VENTILATORY CAPACITY. RESPIRATORY MUSCLES EFFICIENCY ARE BELOW NORMAL

Q

reduced FRC

A

REDUCED FRC (DUE TO DECREASE ERV) CAN RESULT IN LUNG VOLUMES BELOW CLOSING CAPACITY IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL TIDAL VENTILATION, LEADING TO SMALL AIRWAY CLOSURE, VENTILATION-PERFUSION MISMATCH, RIGHT TO LEFT SHUNTING AND ARTERIAL HYPOXEMIA.

Q

what does regurgitation of acidic stomach contents leads to

75% larger stomach volume + increased risk fo hiatal hernia, GERD, delayed gastric emptying, higher acidity, increased and pressure results in increase risk of ?

A

aspiration and pneumonitis

55

Q

abnormalities of the liver associated with obesity include

A
