Q

respiratory dysfunction

A
  • controlled by medulla oblongata
  • affected by infection, drugs, toxins, trauma
  • disruption of pressure if wall of thorax is compromised or air or blood accumulates in chest (pleural space)
  • disruption of lung tissue if trauma or medical problems compromise alveoli or hypoxia (low oxygen levels) or hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels)

Q

respiratory compensation

A

-chemoreceptors detect changes and tell brain how to direct lungs

17
Q

blood dysfunction

A
  • bleeding
  • dehydration (not enough plasma)
  • anemia (not enough red blood cells)
  • liver failure (can’t move blood around)
18
Q

blood vessel dysfunction

A
  • loss of tone (can’t constrict or dilate)
  • excessive permeability (capillaries leak fluid bc of severe infection/sepsis or high altitude)
  • hypertension (systemic vascular resistance)
19
Q

4 categories of shock

A

hypovolemic (not enough volume)
distributive (not moving around well)
cardiogenic (heart issue)
obstructive (blockage)

20
