low oxygen in tissue cells

108
Q

Anemic Hypoxia

A

“think hbg” ..Low RBC=Low Hbg, 8.7, CaO2 low, PaO2 is norm, but the O2-carrying capacity of the hbg is inadequate. Decreased hbg concentration= anemia, hemorrhage. abnormal hbg= carboxyhbg, methbg

109
Q

Circulatory Hypoxia

A

Stagnant hypoxia or hypoperfusion, Slow blood flow to cells/ decrease CO. thus O2 is not adequate to meet tissue needs. caused by slow or stagnant (pooling) peripheral blood flow and arterial-venous shunts

Q

Cyanosis

A

Central and Peripheral cynosis (blood gas)

112
Q

Central Cyanosis

114
Q

Polycythemia

A

adaptive mechanism designed to increase the O2 carrying capacity of the blood

115
Q

Polycythemia does what

A

increase RBC that means more Hbg (and Hematocrit) to carry more O2

116

chronic hypoxemia (COPD, CHF, and high altitude), increased viscosity of blood with increased work to the heart

117
Q

Carbon Monoxide Transport

A

1% attached to carbamino protein, 5% forms bicarbonate, 5% dissolved (whats measured in an ABG)

120
Q

CO2 transport, RBC-

A

equalizes in reverse at alveoli

122
Q

question 30

A

a

128
Q

Importance of starting CPR within the first 4 min

A

Total oxygen delivery (DO2)- the O2 supply system equation- illustrates that about 1000ml of O2 are transported to the tissue cells each min.. VO2- the O2 demand equation- illustrates that of this 1000ml, about 250ml of O2 are consumed by the tissue cells in the course of the metabolic process. 4 min= total 1000ml O2 (250ml a min)

129
Q

What happens following cardiac arrest

A

immediate stoppage of the O2 delivery system- leads to anaerobic metabolism and lactic acidosis, the sudden stoppage of transporting the tissue CO2 to the lungs for eliminatin- rapid accumulation of CO2, the abrupt drop in pH.

130
Q

Anatomic shunt exists when

A

blood frows from the right side of the heart to the left side without coming in contact with an alveolus for gas exchange. Norm 3%.

131
Q

CHF

A

certain congenital defects permit blood flow directly from the right side of the heart to the left side without going through the alveolar capillary system for gas exchange.

132
Q

Intrapulmonary Fistula in anatomic shunting

A

a right to left flow of pulm blood does not pass through the alveolar capillary system.

133
Q

A
  1. alveolar collapse or atelectasis 2. alveolar fluid accumulation or 3. alveolar consolidation
135
Q

The sum of the anatomic shunt and capillary shunt is referred to as the

A

poorly to O2 therapy, because alveolar oxygen doesnt come in contact with the shunted blood.

A

refractory, that is , the reduced arterial O2 level produced by this form of pulm shunting cannot be treated simply by increasing the concentration of inspired O2

mixing of shunted, non-reoxygenated blood with reoxygenated blood distal to the alveoli. losing oxygen molecules

142
Q

Venous admixture continues until

A
  1. the PO2 throughout all the plasma of the newly mixed blood is in equillibrium and 2. all of the hbg molecules carry the same number of O2 molecules. resulting in reduced PaO2 and CaO2 returning to the left side of the heart
