Dex for tumours cerebral oedema but not in TBI

21
Q

CPP =?

A

CPP = MAP - (ICP +CVP)

22
Q

Compliance =?

A

Compliance = ∆V/ ∆P reflects ELASTIC RECOIL of organ

23
Q

∆P in lung measured difference btw :

A

∆P in lung measured difference btw : alveolar pr at mouth with no gas flow and intrapleural pr measured by balloon in lower third of oesophagus

24
Q

Normal lung compliance = ?

Normal chest wall compliance = ?

total thoracic compliance = ?

1/Ctotal = ??

A

Normal lung compliance = 150-200ml/cmh20 (1.5-2L/kpa)

Normal chest wall compliance = 200ml/cmh20 (2l/kpa)

total thoracic compliance is 85-100ml/cmh20 (0.85-1l/kpa)

1/Ctotal = 1/Cchest + 1/Clung

25
Q

hysteresis of pr-vol loop because ?

A

hysteresis of pr-vol loop because inflation and deflation curves different due to need to overcome surface tension upon inflation or inspiration

26
Q

static compliance = ?

A

static compliance = stiffness of lung and chest wall (alveolar stretachbility, measure with no gas flow

27
Q

dynamic compliance =?

A

dynamic compliance = airway resistnace during equilibration of gases at end inspiration or end expiration. less than static

28
Q

specific compliance = ?

A

specific compliance = Ctotal/FRC

29
Q

Increased compliance: ?

Reduced compliance:?

A

Increased compliance: surfactant, emphysema (loss of elastic recoil), old age, acute asthma ( loss of elastic recoil at total lung capacity and increased compliance of airways in spite of airway oedema)

Reduced compliance: pulm fibrosis, pulm vein engorgemnet, pulm oedema (interstitial oedema), ARDS, pneumonia, neonates, extreme lung volumes, chonric bronchitis(dynamic)

30
Q

end tidal co2 in cardiac arrest =?

A

end tidal co2 in cardiac arrest = o.4kpa
no cardiac output, no perfusion of lungs
extreeme deadspace with both lungs; although arterial co2 may be elevated end tidal co2 will be low if there is effective CPR or 0 if ineffective. Asystolic pts have no bp, likely to have resp/met acidosis so bicarb liekly to be low.

31
Q

anatomical dead space increased: ?

anatomical dead space decreased by: ?

alveolar deadspace increased : ?

A

anatomical dead space increased:
neck ext, jaw prot, incr tv, neonates, elderly, bronchodilation, anticholinergic, catecholamine

anatomical dead space decreased by:
neck flex, low tidals, gen anaes, intubation, trach, 5 hydroxytryptamine, histamine

alveolar deadspace increase: pe, pulm disease, hypovolaemia, hypoten, general ana, ippv, peep

32
Q

physiological dead space =?

A

antamonical 150ml + alvealr 0ml

normally about 30% of tv VD/VT=0.3 calc by bohr equation

33
Q

Hypoxemia stimulates ventilation by effect on: ____

A

carotid bodies via glossopharyngeal and aortic bodies via vagus nerve (sensitive to o2 tension, NOT content)

34
Q

Central chemoreceptors respond to changes in ___

A

pH + pCO2

35
Q

Central respiratory neurones are ____ by hypoxia

A

depressed

36
Q

Muscle fibres are long ____ cells, ___micrometers in diameter, length is from ___ to ___. individual fibres have ___ neural contact near midpoint from where the ____ travels along _____ membrane, down _ ____ to initiate contraction.

A

Muscle fibres are long multinucleate cells, 50-70 micrometers in diameter, length is from mm to cm. individual fibres have single neural contact near midpoint from where the Action potential travels along sarcolemmnal membrane, down T-tubule to initiate contraction.

37
Q

  • -
A

Section of dorsal root nerves C3-L2 causes:
- hypotonia
- loss of reflexes
- loss of sensation
(NOT paralysis, not loss of supply to symp sweat glands)
Because dorsal = sensory roots as only has sensory fibres and Preganlionic output to ANS travels in ventral nerve root.
Sensory neurones enter via dorsal horn into spinal cord, 2/3 synapse in dorsal grey horn, 1/3 travel up cord to gracile and cuneate nuclei.

Sensory neuroens form part ofpathway for reflex arcs and moitoring of muscular tone via muscle spindles.

38
Q

In normal blood:

  • ___ml O2 carried per 100ml plasma
  • o2 combines with ___ in haemoglobin
  • viscosity due to ____
  • as veolcity increases
A

In normal blood:

  • 0.3ml O2 carried per 100ml plasma = 0.03ml/l per mmHg partial pressure (most is bound to Hb)
  • o2 combines with haem moiety in haemoglobin
  • viscosity due to haematocrit. plasma 1.8x more viscous as water.
  • as veolcity increases plasma skimming occurs when red cells flow in cntre of vessels leaving relatively red cell poor blood at periphery. 95% of RBC glucose consumed by anaerobic glycolysis
39
Q

Respond to: 
1.
2.
3.
A

bifurcation of common carotid supplied with branch from ext carotid
Respond to:
1. low o2 tension (not content) Low Pa O2
2. increase in PaCO2

( progesterone blcoks action of aldosterone)

46
Q

high plasma calcium causes:

A

high plasma calcium causes:
- reduced intestinal absorption via reduction in 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol and formation of 24,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol instead
Calcitonin is increased inhibiting bone reabsoption and increasing urinary Ca exretion
bone deminieralisation may occur in presence of primary hyperparathyroidsm but notdue to hypercalcemia itself
