Q

bone marrow needle biopsies

32
Q

pain from an MI that refers to the left arm is radiated through what nerve?

intercostobrachial N

33
Q

What starling forces favor filtration (movement of liquid from capillary to tissue)?
Why is the hydrostatic pressure in alveoli not favoring resorption like it does in the rest of the body?

A
  1. hydrostatic pressure in capillary
  2. hydrostatic pressure in tissue/alveoli
  3. Oncotic pressure of tissue
    * because of negative intrapleural pressure - hydrostatic pressure of tissue would usually do the opposite*
34
Q

Why can the lungs accumulate a lot of carbon w/out adverse effects?

A

lymph going to lungs has phagocytes that will remove it

35
Q

What part of pleurae is in particular danger for injury?

A

pleura in costovertebral angles inferomedial to 12th ribs –> pneumothorax may occurs

36
Q

What is the major reason you don’t see problems with CO2 retention in people w/ lung disease until they have very extensive/severe disease?

A

O2 takes about 0.25 seconds to equilibrate in a capillary, while CO2 equilibrates almost immediately
The .75 seconds an RBC spends in an alveolar capillary is super long, so there is plenty of time for CO2 to leave

37
Q

If you move from a seated position to supine, what occurs to TLC, ERV, and IRV?

A

TLC decreases
ERV decreases
IRV increases

38
Q

What is primary atelectasis?

What is secondary atelectasis?

A

failure of a lung to inflate at birth

collapse of a previously inflated lung

39
Q

What are the differences in fetal arterial blood?

A

hemoglobin have higher affinity for O2
PaCO2 higher and PO2 lower
pulmonary vascular resistance is higher

40
Q

What are the segments of the superior lobe of the right lung?

A

apical

posterior anterior

41
Q

That is thoracic outlet syndrome?

A

when structures emerging from superior thoracic aperture are obstructed/pinched

42
Q

If you have an diaphragmatic hernia, what embryological structure most likely failed to develop properly?

A

pleuroperitoneal membrane

not septum transversum!

43
Q

What does auscultation of the lungs assess?

A

airflow through the tracheobronchial tree into lobes of the lungs

44
Q

What is sometimes a side effect of ACE inhibitor usage?

A

Blocks ACE, which also metabolizes bradykinin –> sometimes bradykinin will accumulate in the lungs and cause a cough

45
Q

How/when does segmental atelectasis occur?

A

blockage of a segmental bronchus –> air in blocked segment will gradually be absorbed into blood –> collapse

46
Q

Where are posterior thoracotomy incisions made?

A

posterolateral aspects of 5th-7th intercostal spaces

47
Q

What is the most common accessory lobe of the lungs?

A

A

accumulation of excess fluid in pleural cavity

5th or 6th intercostal space in the midaxillary line

51
Q

What is pigeon chest?

A

pectus carinatum

52
Q

what is the sternal line of pleural reflection?

57
Q

Why is displacement of a bone fragment from a sternal body fracture unlikely?

A

sternum is invested by deep fascia and sternal attachments of the pectoralis major muscles

58
Q

Can you have half of the diaphragm paralyzed?

A

Yes bc there are 2 phrenic nerves!

59
Q

What is the major concern for sternal injuries?

A

can cause heart problems

25-45% death rate associated w/ sternal fractures

A

decreased pH
increased CO2
increased temp
metabolites (2,3 DPG)

61
Q

What is the costal line of pleural reflection?

A

costal pleura becomes diaphragmatic pleura

62
Q

If you have a pulmonary embolism, how does the alveolar gas change?

A

gas in good part of lung will be normal
gas in part of lung w/ no blood flow will have PCO2 of 0 and increased PO2 –> mix of gas will have reduced CO2 and increased O2

63
Q

What does the right horn of the sinus venosus turn into?

A

half turns into sinus venerum of atria

other half turns into pulmonary veins

64
Q

What is flail chest?

A

multiple rib fractures –> allow segment of thoracic wall to move in and out during breathing
impairs ventilation and affects oxygenation of blood

65
Q

A

3rd, 4th, and 6th pharyngeal arches

66
Q

How does lymph drain from the breasts?

A

75% goes to subareolar LNs –> axillary LNs –> subclavian lymphatic trunk –> R lymph duct or thoracic duct

25% goes to subareolar LNs –> parasternal LNs –> L or R bronchomediastinal trunk –> R lymph duct or thoracic duct

67
Q

What embryolic structures make up the muscular and membranous portions of the interventricular septum?

A

interventricular septum growing up toward endocardial cushions = muscular part
R and L bulbar ridges = membranous part - from neural crest!!! most common defects from this!!

68
Q

If you have a metabolic acidosis, what formula do you use to calculate if the respiratory compensation is adequate?

A

What lets you know a respiratory acidosis is acute?

A

increase in HCO3 per 10 mm Hg change in PaCO2 = 1

A

the elastic recoil of the lungs

75
Q

What is a normal anion gap?

A

less than or equal to 12 for calculations
