33
Q

Also known as Respiratory distress syndrome Type I

A

Hyaline Membrane disease (developmental disorder)

34

conditions than can cause an even lower production of surfactant in an effort to decrease metabolic demand

A

Hypoxemia and hypercarbia

35
Q

Deficiency of surfactant

A
Decrease FRC
Atelectasis
Increased R to L shunt
Increased work of breathing
V/Q mismatch`
36
Q

collapse of an expanded lung especially in infants which is also a failure ofpulmonary alveolu to expand at birth

A

Atelectasis

37
Q

Increases R toL shunt because of pulmonary hypoperfusion

A

Atelectasis

38
Q

Potent vasodilators

A

high pH and low Co2 conditions

39
