Q

Why is poor air quality a problem for the lungs?

A

Poor air quality interferes with the respiratory tract filtering and leads to inflammation of alveolar capillary

Q

Why is humidity important for inspiration?

A

Dry environments cause a loss of mucus covering which can lead to erosion and infection; alveoli need moisture to help with gas exchange

Q

How does the diaphragm regulate inspiration?

A

When the diaphragm contracts, a negative space is created in the lungs and air flow in (inhalation). In expiration, the diaphragm relaxes and causes a positive pressure, causing air to flow out.

Q

What problem is caused when the lungs don’t expand symmetrically?

A

The lesser moving side pools mucus and causes pneumonia

Q

What muscles are involved in active expiration (typically expiration is a passive process)

A

Internal intercostals - compress and lower ribs

Abdominals - Compress abdominal cavity which elevates the abdominal organs and passively elevates the diaphragm

Q

List 5 factors that affect diffusion

A
  1. SA of alveolar capillary membrane
  2. Diffusing capacity of alveolar- capillary membrane (thick vs thin membrane)
  3. Pulmonary capillary blood volume (more blood = more oxygen)
  4. Ventilation/ perfusion ratio (Vol O2 breathed in vs % O2 used)
  5. Transit time of blood in alveolar capillary

Q

Define perfusion

A

Blood flow

18
Q

Describe perfusion changes throughout the lungs

A

Upper lungs (apical): low perfusion :( alveoli fully expanded :)
Lung bases: perfusion increased due to gravity :) enlarged vessels compress alveoli
Midle lungs: OPTIMAL PERFUSION

19
Q

Optimal myocardial function depends on synchronized coupling of electrical _______ and mechanical _________

A

Conduction; contraction

20
Q

What are two measures of myocardial function impairment?

A

Heart rate, ejection fraction

21
Q

What are 4 measures of cardiac output

A

Preload, force and rate of contraction, after load

22
Q

Large vessels have _______ & _________ tissue, medium to small vessels have more ___________ muscle

A

elastic; connective; smooth

23
Q

Peripheral circulation is regulated by what 2 pressures?

A

Hydrostatic, oncotic

24
Q

Where in the peripheral circulation is partial pressure of oxygen highest?

A

Venous (vs arterial)

25
Q

Myocardial infarction affects which step of oxygen transport?

A
  1. Myocardial function
26
Q

Pneumothorax from stab wound affects which step of oxygen transport?

A
  1. Lungs and chest wall
27
Q

Asthma affects which step of oxygen transport?

A
  1. Airways

4. Diffusion?

28
Q

Pulmonary embolism affects which step of oxygen transport?

A
  1. Perfusion
29
Q

Hypertension affects which step of oxygen transport?

A
  1. Peripheral circulation
30
Q

Anemia affects which step of oxygen transport? (low iron and hemoglobin)

A
  1. Tissue extraction and utilization of O2
31
Q

What 3 aspects of oxygen transport are affected by exercise?

A
  1. Ventilation
  2. Cardiac output
  3. Tissue utilization
32
Q

Why is early mobility important?

A
  • Impact cardiac output and VO2
  • Impact OER
  • Bedrest changes fluid distribution, reduces muscle activity, aerobic deconditioning
33
Q

Describe the astronaut syndrome of “bird legs and puffy face”

A

Gravity keeps fluids where they should be. In lack of gravity (or bed rest), fluid shifts to thorax/ head

34
Q

What are symptoms of overall poor health?

A

Weight gain/ loss, fatigue/ weakness/ malaise, fever/ chills, sweats/ night sweats

35
Q

What are symptoms of poor skin?

A

Excessive dryness or moisture, itching, excessive bruising, lesion or rash

36
Q

What are symptoms of poor respiratory system?

A

Hx of lung dz, chest pain with breathing, wheezing, SOB, cough, odd sputum color or amount, hemoptysis (bloody sputum), medications

37
Q

What are symptoms of poor CV system?

A

Heart pain, palpitation, cyanosis, dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea (SOB when laying down), edema, hx of heart murmur/ HTN/ CAD or anemia, meds

38
Q

What are symptoms of poor peripheral vascular system?

A

Coldness, numbness, tingling of legs; swelling of legs; discoloration of hands and feet; varicose veins; intermittent claudication; thrombophlebitis; ulcers; meds

39
Q

What are symptoms of poor hematologic system?

A

bleeding in skin or mucus membranes; excessive bruising; lymph node swelling; blood transfusion and reaction; meds

40
Q

What are symptoms of poor endocrine?

A

Hx of diabetes; hx of thyroid dz; change in skin texture; excessive sweating; relationship between appetite and weight; nervousness, tremors

41
Q

What are symptoms of poor O2 transport?

A

External: Pale, cold cyanotic skin; SOB; Diaphoresis
Internal: Vital signs, respiratory pattern, hypoxia/ low pulse, poor peripheral circulation, decreased capillary refill (>3 sec)
